 and are noted for their intense, pungent fragrance which 

 is so strong it scents the air around. A specimen plant, 

 5 years old, has bloomed unceasingly from late May 

 until November. This plant was on a N. E. corner and 

 shaded from the hot afternoon sun. "Magnifica" is a 

 grand addition to this class. Price, i-yr., 25 cts., post- 

 paid; 2-yr., 50 cts.; Star size. Si. 00, by express.

IRONCLAD RUGOSA ROSES 



Rugosa Roses and their hybrids seem just suited for our North American climate as they are 



so tough and hardy. They make dense, sturdy, compact bushes, 

 4 to 6 feet high and verj' ornamental. Their dark, rich leathery 

 foliage is oddly wrinkled, shiny and remarkably free from insect 

 pests. Some bloom all summer, others but once, but are followed in 

 the autumn with a profusion of beautiful orange-red or crimson 

 fruits. The plants are hardy as oaks, and do well in the most trying 

 places — seashore, mountains or anywhere. Excellent for making 

 hedges or planting on the lawn with shrubbery.
