EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



FROM earliest Rose-time until killing frost, the Roses offered on pages 

 17 to 42 are scarcely ever without bloom. The expensive Roses from 

 the florists* shops are everblooming kinds, some of which do well out- 

 doors in beds where they cover themselves with lovely flowers which may be 

 cut at will. They provide infinite variety in form, in soft tints and sparkling 

 colors. Some are double; some are single; and there are all degrees between. 

 There are dehghtful shades of tinted w^hite, pink and red, yellow in all tones 

 from cream to gold, and coppery hues Hke burning bronze. 



These Roses bloom more constantly than the oak-hardy Hybrid Per- 

 petuals (see pages 52 to 55) ; they are vigorous in growth, and most of them 

 are deliciously fragrant. They need protection from cold weather and insects 

 and diseases which try to bother them, but, on the whole, they do better 

 without coddHng and need only common-sense attention. We send simple, 

 concise planting and cultural directions with each order. Anyone who can 

 read can understand and follow the directions given. 



The perfect Rose does not exist. No one variety combines all desirable 

 qualities in the superlative degree. The Roses hsted in the following pages 

 are carefully chosen for individual quahties of growth or bloom, beauty of 

 form or fragrance. Each has points of exceflence, and some have nearly all 

 the qualities that make a perfect Rose. For your convenience, we have 

 assembled them into color classes so you will not have to read the entire 

 Rose section of our catalogue to pick out the red Roses if you prefer that color, 

 and likewise with the pinks, yellows, or tinted kinds.
