OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY ROSES 



Under this heading we include several 

 of the old-time, hardy Moss Roses, 

 whose pecuHar charm is still strong, and 

 grips us with memories of childhood and 

 old-fashioned gardens. They are all 

 dchghtfully fragrant, perfectly hardy, 

 and need httle attention, although 

 they are better if well cared for. 

 They should have good 

 soil and an occasional 

 thinning of the old wood. 

 We also include other 

 old varieties, now rather 

 scarce, and some com- 

 paratively new Roses of 

 unusual color which can- 

 not be reasonably classi- 

 fied elsewhere. Here you would 

 naturally find the formal Standard 

 Tree" Roses which are valued 

 when they can be successfully 

 placed and maintained. In the 

 past, Tree Roses for America 

 were grown in Europe. They may no longer be 

 imported. In consequence of experiments now 

 under way, we hope soon to produce our own. 



HARDY MOSS ROSES 



*BLANCHE MOREAU. An old-fashioned Rose of strong growth, blooming 

 freely in early June. The flowers are white, quite large, very double, borne in 

 small trusses, and very sweet. The buds are thickly covered with soft and 

 fragrant moss. June-flowering only. $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 clusters of three. The curious buds are 

 very large, and the sepals heavily fringed with a wide mossy frill, totally distinct 

 from all other Moss Roses. June-flowering only. $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. Red Moss Roses were never much of a 

 success, and this variety seems to be the best obtainable. June-flowering only. 

 $1 each. 



•PRINCESS ADELAIDE. A big, strong-growing bush^ with fine, crinkly 

 leaves of great size, and enormous flowers of bright, shining pink, not too double, 

 and very sweet. The large buds are heavily mossed, somewhat bronzy, and some- 

 times apt to split before opening properly. June-flowering only. $1 each.
