{above) (Bentall.) An absolutely fool- 

 proof plant that has almost every 

 good quality possible. Planted alone, it is a beautiful 

 3 to 4 foot shrub, that bears hundreds of appealing 

 sea-shell-pink flowers, and makes an excellent individ- 

 ual lawn specimen. Planted in a row it is a colorful 

 hedge. Grows vigorously and will eventually be as 

 broad as it is high. Resistant to diseases and insects. 

 The Fairy will provide that "all-summer-long" bloom, 

 too. Its foliage is small, shiny and beautifully green, 

 adding an extra ornamental quality. Lovely pink 

 flowers in multitudes of bloom from spring to frost.

P^'//j)rnfM'r^ (6^/ow) (Shamburger.) Plant Pat. 

 J Um/ (// Jl/f/ 2329. Here is a very tafl-growing 

 shrub or pillar rose that is superb as an individual 

 accent plant on the lawn or is also dramatic in a row 

 as a background, or as a tall hedge. Pillar of Fire 

 grows to 8 feet or more and is always bright with vivid 

 flowers of a sparkling coral-red. Blooms come in clus- 

 ters from top to bottom of the plant, forming in effect, 

 a pillar of fire. It is strong enough to stand alone or 

 can be tied to a trellis or fence as a climbing rose.

Shrub Roses Can Play 



A Dramatic Part in 

 Beautifying Your Home 



The roses featured on this page do not fit into the cat- 

 egories of Hybrid Teas, Grandifloras or Floribundas. . . 

 yet for carefree, landscaping beauty, these roses are just 

 as important as their more glamorous counterparts. From our ex- 

 perience, we have found the kinds on this page are at their best when 

 used in these ways: For a low, compact hedge with good color and 

 foliage, use The Fairy; for a low spreading hedge or ground cover, 

 we highly recommend Sea Foam; if you need a little more privacy or 

 protection, we recommend taller growing Robin Hood, Otto Linne 

 or Red Glory. Robin Hood is the densest grower, offering an almost 

 impenetrable barrier. For a tall, 6 foot hedge, for screening property, 

 for use as a divider, etc., use Pillar of Fire for its beauty as well as 

 functional value. The Multiflora we offer here is recommended only 

 for screening very large properties, fields or for conservation purposes. 

 All except Multiflora are fine, too, for landscape use as everblooming, 

 flowering shrubs planted singly, or in groups of 3. 



(above) (Pemberton.) A big bold plant which 

 produces masses of gorgeous cherry-red to deep 

 pink flowers in large clusters. Blooms very heavily in spring and 

 abundantly all during the season right up until frost. This splendid 

 hedge rose can be maintained at any height you like above 3 feet 

 simply by shearing or pruning. It grows densely and compactly, 

 forming a formidable barrier. Foliage is rich, healthy and good 

 looking. Robin Hood grows well in any soil and is very hardy. 

 Plant 18 to 24 inches apart. One year, own-root plants.
