SEA FOAM 



Hybrid Shrub Rose. (Ernest Schwartz.) Plant Pat. 2463. 



A hardy, tremendously vigorous yet lovely shrub rose. 

 Clusters of white bloom all season. Has no enemies. Use it as a specimen,

"Our Sea Foam have been in bloom all summer — their long flowing 

 arms covered with 2-in. white to shell-pink flowers. They have had 

 no aphids, beetles, mildew or blackspot and the foliage is crisp and 

 shiny. They arc magnificent and I cannot thank you enough."

MULTIFLORA HEDGE. {.Not illustrated.) A rugged, very thorny species 

 rose suitable as a tall tough hedge on a farm or estate, where a thick 

 barrier is needed. Grows 8 to 12 feet high and wide, making a living 

 fence that is horse high, cattle strong and pig tight. Excellent for bird 

 feed and cover. Requires little or no maintenance. These are 1-year 

 plants. Set them a foot apart. 



25 for $3.90—50 for $6.90—100 for $11.90—500 or more, $9 per 100 



Shrub roses are very useful, rugged plants of great value 

 in special places — for instance, on a bank, growing wild 

 over a fence, topping a wall. They do not belong in beds 

 with other roses. You will find they are extremely adaptable. 

 Plant them in groups of two or three, or as single specimens. 

 They bloom not intermittently but steadily all summer, and 

 best of all — they ask nothing from you in the way of care. 

 You need not prune, fertilize or spray them. Just be thank- 

 ful for such hardy, sturdy, foolproof landscaping plants. 



THE FAIRY 



(Bentall.) Multitudes of pink blooms from 

 early summer to frost on an absolutely 

 foolproof plant. Seashell-pink flowers in large clusters. 

 Small, glossy, lacy foliage. A dense, hardy, thrifty bush, 

 very resistant to disease and insects. Makes a fine lawn 

 specimen, a colorful hedge or background planting. Will 

 grow anywhere, even in part shade. Cut the dainty flowers 

 as freely as you wish — there are always plenty more. An 

 extraordinary rose with countless uses. 

 $2.90 ea.— 3 or more, $2.70 ea. 



SHOOTING STAR 



STAR MINIATURE ROSES 



For maxi pleasure in mini size, try some Miniature Roses. They grow only 10 to 15 

 inches tall at most and are true copies of the classic Hybrid Teas. Buds and flowers are 

 exquisitely formed, nice and full, but no bigger than a quarter. The tiny leaves, thorns 

 and branches are in proportion to the bloom. 



These little roses are amazingly hardy, disease resistant and persistent blooming. Treat 

 them like other roses (pruning, spraying, feeding), but plant them in beds of their own 

 where you can easily watch their progress from day to day. You will be fascinated with 

 them. 



SHOO TING STAR. (The House of Meilland) 

 NEW. Charming for boutonnieres and 

 dainty arrangements. As the bloom opens, 

 the sides of the petals curl under, forming a 

 petal with a distinct point. This together 

 with its color combination of yellow and 

 fiery red gives the bloom truly the appear- 

 ance of a "Shooting Star." 



Flowers are double and very long lasting, 

 with chartreuse-yellow petals tipped signal- 

 red. Mature blooms turn to rose color with 

 Indian yellow reverse. Bushy plants 10 to 12 

 inches high, repeating their bloom well. 

 $2 ea.— 3 or more, $1.80 ea.
