CONTINUOUS-BLOOMING 



Hardy Polyantha or Pompon Roses 



One cannot resist being enthusiastic over these Roses. They are hardy, low in growth, continuous 

 in bloom,^ and, once planted, increase in beauty yearly. All are suitable for bordering paths or for 

 planting in front of taller shrub Roses such as Rugosas. When massed in front of evergreens, they 

 are delightfully brilliant. One of our friends planted a solid line of Polyanthas each side of his drive- 

 way and it was, throughout the season, "the talk of his neighborhood." Fountains are made more 

 attractive when surrounded with Polyanthas. Many persons have learned to plant these more appro- 

 priate bedding Roses instead of geraniums. 



*EBLOUISSANT. Crimson. Dwarf in growth and 

 excellent for edging. The truly dazzling flowers are 

 intense, rich, velvety crimson, which does not blue 

 and are shaped like a cactus dahlia. One of the 

 lowest-growing Polyanthas, and as such it has many 

 uses. $1 each. 



*ELLEN POULSEN. Rose-pink. The most effec- 

 tive of the larger type of pink Pofyanthas, with 

 brilliant flowers larger than most of them. It makes 

 a lively border. Planted around evergreens, the con- 

 trast of colors is artistic and restful to the eye, 

 besides serving the utilitarian purpose of hiding the 

 bare base of the plants and protecting them from 

 animals. $1 each. 



*ELSE POULSEN. Rose-pink. Vigorous in 

 growth, reaching 23^2 feet in height, and noted for its 

 very lasting bright rose-pink flowers which are borne 

 in brilliant clusters. Makes a lovely low hedge or 

 dividing-line, in bloom all the growing season. $1 

 each. 



*GOLDEN SALMON. Salmon. The brightest 

 bedding Rose among recent novelties. In color it is 

 rich golden salmon with a light center — something 

 distinctly different. Medium- to large-sized flowers 

 are produced in trusses of intense beauty. Cut off 

 the old flower-heads as soon as they are spent 

 because the faded color is unpleasant. $1 each. 



•KATHARINA ZEIMET. White. The only white 

 Polyantha Rose we offer, but one of the best whites, 

 borne in fragrant clusters of 25 or more blooms which 

 come all season. $1 each. 



•KIRSTEN POULSEN. Scarlet. An unusually 

 tall (3 to 4 feet) grower for the class. It seems to be 

 the shrub form of the bright "Poppy of Flanders 

 Fields," with small sprays of vivid scarlet, fluffy, 

 single blooms waving in the breeze. Flowers of long 

 duration. Makes an exquisite low hedge. $1 each. 



*LAFAYETTE. Cerise. A large-flowering Poly- 

 antha, sending out big heads of twenty-five or more 

 long-lasting blooms, each 23^ inches across, of a 

 brilliant cerise, eventually paling to deep pink. The 

 plant is bushy, of an even growth, rarely over 15 

 inches high. A border or bed of it will seldom be out 

 of bloom. Makes a brilliant show all season. $1 each. 



•SALMON SPRAY. Salmon. An interesting 

 novelty from Australia. This is one of the best cf 

 the taller-growing Polyanthas, and the color is very 

 soft and pleasing. Rich salmon-pink flowers, 2 to 3 

 inches across, are produced continuously in great 

 heads of ten to twenty, lasting a long time without 

 discoloration. It makes a much stronger growth 

 than almost any other Polyantha and reaches a 

 height of 3 feet or more. Ideal for specimen use in a 

 shrub border. $1.25 each. 



4 Continuous-Blooming Hardy Roses for $3 (See Opposite p age ) 



*MLLE. CECILE BRUNNER (Sweetheart). Sea- 

 shell-pink. Sprays of rich rosy pink "baby" buds, 

 which open into lovely, perfectly double, miniature 

 flowers of seashell-pink. From this Rose you can 

 have flowers all season for bouquets or boutonnieres. 

 It is intensely fragrant. Hardy in exposed locations. 

 This dainty "baby" Rose has the same attractive 

 qualities in a garden as a baby in a roomful of 

 relatives. Florists use quantities of this Rose in 

 dainty bouquets. $1 each. 



^CHATILLON. Clear pink. See opposite page. 

 Without doubt the finest of all pink Polyanthas, and 

 the one best adapted to various requirements, such 

 as a low hedge, for lining a driveway, or mass plant- 

 ing as a hardy substitute for the ephemeral geranium. 

 Makes really gigantic trusses of very lasting and 

 pleasing silvery pink flowers. A flower show in itself 

 for weeks at a time. Recommended for cemetery 

 planting because of its hardiness, freedom of bloom, 

 lovely color, and tidy habit of growth. It is also a 

 fine Rose for cutting as it lasts well inside. $1 each. 



^■IDEAL. Garnet. This dwarf Polyantha has great 

 merit. Vivid, rich, lustrous garnet blooms are borne 

 in profusion all summer long. The flowers are pro- 

 duced in immense clusters, which fact makes it 

 "ideal" for mass plantings. The blossoms are darker 

 and more double than others of this type. They hold 

 their color well and do not burn in the sun. Cut 

 off the old flower-heads as soon as they are spent, 

 and new flowering branches will make another great 

 crop of bloom. $1 each. 



*GRUSS AN AACHEN. Ben.-Bour. White to 

 carmine. For years this large, everblooming bedding 

 Rose has been called a "Polyantha." We have been 

 able to ascertain its lineage as a hybrid of the two 

 extremely hardy strains Bengal and Bourbon, hence 

 its unusual robustness. A splendid bedding or border 

 variety. It makes more nearly a mass effect in 

 bloom than any other low-growing type of light 

 color, with an assemblage of carmine, yellow, fawn, 

 and white shades. Blooms are large and full. In the 

 fall the colors are fascinating. $1 each. 



One each of the 



4 Polyantha Roses described above and shown in color on opposite page for ff O 

 or 6 strong plants of each variety, 24 in all, for $17.50. **^
