OUT- OF- THE- ORDINARY ROSES 
Under this heading we include several 
of the old-time, hardy Moss Roses, 
whose peculiar charm is still strong, and 
grips us with memories of childhood and 
|| old-fashioned gardens. ‘They are all 
delightfully fragrant, perfectly hardy, 
: and need little attention, although 
they are better if well cared for. 
They should have good 
soil and an_ occasional 
thinning of the old wood. 
HARDY MOSS 
ROSES 
*BLANCHE MOREAU. 
White flowers in June, quite 
large, very double, borne in 
small trusses, and very sweet. The 
buds are thickly covered with soft 
and fragrant moss. $1 each. 
*CRESTED MOSS. Also called 
Chapeau de Napoleon, because of 
the bud’s resemblance to Napoleon’s 
hat. Strong, erect-growing bush 
with large bright pink blooms, intensely fragrant, 
and borne in June in clusters of three. $1 each. 
*HENRI MARTIN. One of the few red Moss 
Roses left us from the wealth of old-time varieties. 
The flowers are rather small, bright crimson, and not 
so double as most. It is lightly mossed. $1 each. 
*SALET. ji recurrent bloomer. Blooms are bright rose, edged with blush- 
pink. Vigorous grower. $1 each. 
EVERBLOOMING “CHINA” ROSE 
*HERMOSA. For continuous bloom, this Rose is a veritable wonder. The 
flowers are a light cheerful pink, well-formed, and borne in clusters. Very fine for 
bordering driveways because of its hardy, neat growth. $1 each. 
VEILCHENBLAU (The Blue Rose) 
A robust, hardy, climbing Rose, with Iong-shaped Jeaves and heavy in growth. 
The flowers come in large clusters and are violet-blue im color. 
The color is decidedly odd, and visitors here are about equally divided in 
their opinion of it. Some think the color is too bizarre, others are highly de- 
lighted with the novelty as no other Rose has as yet approached this color. 
Quite a few red Roses “blue”’ as the flowers age, but this one “blues” to start 
with. As an oddity it is all right. $1 each. 
October, 1924. I am a landscape gardener, and have planted lots of your roses and find them 
better stock and larger blooms than any others. I have handled roses and shrubbery from almost 
every nursery in this part of the country.—O. W., Fredonia, Kans.
