SEA FOAM 



SPECIAL ROSES 



WITH MANY POSSIBILITIES 

 FOR LANDSCAPE USE 



Here are some special roses whose adaptability and 

 versatility are limited only by your imagination. They 

 may be used for mass planting, in groups of three or 

 six, and even as individual lawn specimens. Each 

 gives masses of color all season long. All are ruggedly 

 hardy, disease-resistant, vigorous growers . . . fool- 

 proof and literally "care-free." You can plant them 

 and forget them — but you won't overlook the big 

 contribution they make to the overall landscaping of 

 your home property. 



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

 the most remarkable and most useful of roses. Teardrop-shaped 

 buds open to 2 to 3-inch, double blooms of pure white that age gradually to a 

 delicate cream color. Sometimes in cool weather the petal edges are tinged with 

 pink. This tough, hardy, tremendously vigorous yet lovely rose is almost com- 

 pletely free of any disease or trouble of any kind. It has unlimited uses — as a 

 specimen plant, as a border or broad low hedge; tied to a trellis or fence, it makes 

 a fine white pillar rose. Also perfect for a ground cover in a sunny location or 

 on a bank. Draped over the top of a wall it makes a graceful weeping rose. 

 Clusters of bloon:i are produced continuously all season long. 



$3 ea. — 3 or more, $2.65 ea. — 25 or more, $2.40 ea. 



(Bentall.) An absolutely foolproof plant that has alinost every 

 ^ , good quality. This beautiful 2 to 3-foot shrub bears hundreds of 

 appealing seashell-pink flowers in large clusters all season long. It makes an ex- 

 cellent individual lawn specimen, a colorful hedge or background planting, and 

 is so sturdy and hardy that it will flourish almost anywhere, even in partial shade. 

 Very resistant to disease and insects. The lacy foliage is small and very glossy, 

 adding an extra ornamental quality. Multitudes of pink blooms from spring 

 to frost. 



$2.25 ea. — 3 or more, $2 ea. — 25 or more, $1.85 ea. 



(Lambert.) Originally introduced 35 years ago, this rose was for 

 a time more or less overlooked. Now we have had the great pleas- 

 ure to bring it back from obscurity, and our own enthusiasm has been more than 

 matched by appreciative gardeners. Otto Linne grows to about 3 to 4 feet, its 

 strong canes carrying enormous trusses of deep rose-pink flowers. Foliage is a 

 light, clear green, glossy and very full. Exceptionally vigorous, growing upward, 

 then outward, in vase shape. One truss of flowers makes a whole bouquet. A 

 carefree, disease-resistant rose, as hardy as any other flowering shrub. Needs 

 practically no attention. 



$2.25 ea.— 3 or more, $2 ea.— 25 or more, $1.85 ea. 



^ ^ ^ f f • {not illustrated) (Lambert.) An- 



other fine old German rose — a 

 real old-timer. It has been famous and in demand since the 

 turn of the century because of its huge, double white flowers 

 which open from classic buds tinged delicately with carmine- 

 pink. The bush is tall and extremely vigorous. Foliage is an 

 eye-catching, very dark green. Most people use this durable 

 but beautiful rose as a specimen or accent plant, although it 

 can be spaced out in a row to form an aisle of beauty. It 

 blooms repeatedly during the whole growing season and is 

 very hardy and long lived. 



$2 ea. — 3 or more, $1.75 ea. — 25 or more, $1.60 ea.

V/i//r/i t/n^o ^'"'^ illustrated) I'his rugged, very thorny 

 '(/((('/((//U' species rose is very useful in certain loca- 

 tions. It does not belong in a suburban rose garden. It is 

 suitable only for use as a tall tough hedge on a large prop- 

 erty such as a farm or estate, where an impenetrable fence 

 is needed. Multiflora grows eventually to a height and 

 width of 8 to 12 feet. Excellent for bird feed and cover. 

 Requires little or no maintenance. Makes a living fence 

 . . . horse high, cattle strong and pig tight. These are 

 1-year plants. Set them a foot apart.
