SHRUB ROSES 



(Bentall.) This beautiful 2 to 3-foot shrub bears hun- 

 dreds of seashell-pink flowers in large clusters all season 

 long. It makes an excellent individual lawn specimen, a colorful hedge or 

 background planting, and is so sturdy and hardy that it will flourish almost 

 anywhere, even in part shade. A dense, hardy, thrifty bush, very resistant 

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

 extra ornamental value. Multitudes of pink blooms from early summer 

 to frost on an absolutely foolproof plant.

OTHER SHRUB ROSES NOT ILLUSTRATED 



SEA FOAM. Hybrid Shrub Rose. (Ernest Schwartz.) Plant Pat. 2463. An- 

 other remarkable shrub rose — this one a lovely pure white, becoming delicate 

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

 The clusters of bloom are produced continuously all season. This tough, 

 hardy, tremendously vigorous yet lovely rose is almost completely free of 

 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. It's perfect for a ground cover on a sunny bank, and draped over 

 the top of a wall it's a graceful weeping rose. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



MULTIFLORA HEDGE: This rugged, very thorny species rose is perfect in 

 certain locations. It is suitable as a tall tough hedge on a large property such 

 as a farm or estate, where a thick barrier is needed. It grows eventually to a 

 height and width of 8 to 12 feet, 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 S3. 90— 50 for $6.90—100 for $11.90—500 or more, $9.00 per 100 



THE FAIRY 



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.

MINIATURE 



ROSES 



For maxi pleasure in mini size, plant 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, making a rose in miniature that is completely captivating. 

 These little roses are amazingly hardy, disease resistant and 

 persistent blooming. Treat them like other roses (pruning, spray- 

 ing, feeding), but plant them in beds of their own, as borders 

 along walks or patios, and in rock gardens. Try to find a sunny 

 spot near the house where you can plant them and watch their 

 progress day by day. You will be fascinated with them.
