HUGONIS: "Golden Rose of China" 



Also called "Father Hugo's Rose." Blooms three weeks earlier than most other Roses. 

 (See color picture on page opposite) 



An altogether different Rose, bearing no resemblance to any American 

 species or 'Svild" Rose, this Chinese native is a notable contribution to 

 American gardens. Every branch of the previous year's growth is, in late 

 April or early May, closely set on both sides to the very tip with exquisitely 

 beautiful, single, clear yellow flowers, almost concealing the foliage. The 

 flowers are really and truly yellow, not merely primrose or straw color. 



The long, arching sprays make Hugonis not only a Ix-autilul slirub, to be planted, 

 if one so prefers, with other sdrubs, but when cut are cliarniing as table decorations. 

 The crepe-like blooms harmonize with snowy linen and silver. 



The Hugonis Rose makes a symmetrical bush about 6 feet wide and high v>hen 

 matured. The beautiful reddish maroon growths spring from the roots and are in 

 themselves most attractive. In late fall the foliage turns to a pleasing purple. 



This "Golden Rose of China" is ruggedly hardy everywhere in America. 

 It needs neither protection nor pruning, save in the occasional cutting out of 

 the older shoots. Each spring the previous year's growth of graceful 

 maroon wands will be laden ^vith curving branches of golden loveliness. 



We are "headquarters" for Hugonis, and have for ten years prominently 

 presented in color and in description this notable Chinese beauty to the American 

 public. We expect to grow fully a hundred thousand plants of it this year.
