I'm sorry that I can't show you this garden scene in color.

 a gentle slope. The roses which fill this area are all colors 

 . . . pink, yellow, red, white . . . making a most attractive, 

 small rose garden layout. Such a garden is easy to make 

 and highly desirable to have. Perhaps, you will want to 

 plant one on your grounds. 



SOME SPECIAL ROSES 



THE SWEETHEART ROSE. (Cecile Brunner.) Many 

 people ask for this one, and we have it again for them. It's a 

 famous old rose, the one to which others sure likened when 

 referred to as "sweetheart-type" roses. Long buds and small, 

 double flowers are pink on a yellow ground. They come freely 

 and are fragrant. Low-growing, slirub-like bush leaves nothing 

 to be desired. You'll really love the delightful form and the 

 attractive coloring of The Sweetheart Rose. $1.75 ea.; 3 or 

 more, $1.5.5 ea.; 25 or more, $1.40 ea. 



GOLDEN WINGS. Plant Pat. 1419. This is a substantial 

 decorative shrub or hedge-type rose which is immensely 

 vigorous and hardy. It produces many bright, yellow flowers 

 in continuous, free-blooming style. The flowers open to reveal 

 contrasting, reddish stamens. The plant grows to 4 feet and 

 has fine foliage which needs no spraying. Golden Wings is 

 ideal to pick up the scenery — add a touch of color — accent 

 any part of the garden. $2.50 ea.; 3 or more, .$2.20 ea. 



FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. A Hybrid Perpetual rose 

 which we introduced back near the turn of the century, and 

 famed all those years for its huge, double white flowers. These 

 open from pointed buds tinged with carmine-pink. The 

 tall-growing liush is extremely vigorous, has very dark green 

 foliage and is attractive. Most people use this durable old- 

 timer as a specimen or accent plant; although there's no 

 reason why you could not use it very effectively as a hedge. 

 Just plant it in a row! $1.75 ea.; 3 or more, $1.55 ea.
