•YORK AND LANCASTER. Often 



coil fused with Rosa Mundi to uhich 

 it is similar. A Damask Rose nearly 

 four centuries old. In the large, semi- 

 double, flat-opening flowers the colors 

 are attractively mingled — part red, 

 part white; very sweet. Spreads from 

 the roots. Noted for the legend that 

 connects it with the War of the Roses. 

 The true variety has become quite 

 rare. Si each. 



•HARISON'S YELLOW. The 



cheery yellow Rose of the old-time 

 door-yards. Tough, win,-, almcNst in- 

 destructible, it is an unspeakable 

 delight when covered with its sparkling 

 yellow flowers in late May and early 

 June, set amid fragrant foliage. It 

 hates the knife; do not prune it, ex- 

 cept to take out dead canes. A good 

 shrub, made better by its small 

 healthv foliage, which is retained until 

 Hanson's Yellow hard frost. (See illustration.) SI each. 



*JULrET. Color brilliant and bizarre — inside of petals, carmine, outside dull 



gold. Buds large; open flower cupped and very double. Tall growth. Blooms only 



once each season. Very desirable. SI each. 



^Soleil d'Or Gorgeously glowing Rose of orange-yellow with red- 



1 dish markings. Flowers very double, but of uncertain 



form. Grows tall and blooms liberally in June with the Hybrid Pcrpetuals but 

 seldom aftenvards. Foliage is subject to black-spot and canes die back. 

 Notable as being the first of the marvelously colored Pernetianas. SI each. 



ENGLISH SWEETBRL^l. The wild Eglantine of England (Rosa rubioinosa), 

 and now naturalized in America; celebrated in song and story. Flowers are small, 

 single, bright pink, and very fleeting. Treasured for the delightful and pungent 

 fragrance of its foliage, which it exhales in the damp of early morning. Some 

 people succeed in making a most satisfactory hedge of Sweetbriar Roses. In some 

 localities they lose their leaves early. SI each. 



*Birdie Blve ^^'^^ Rose has brought us more unsolicited tcstimo- 

 — ^ 1^^ — '. nials than almost any other variety. It blooms continu- 

 ously from June till frost and is one of Dr. W. Van Fleet's greatest 

 productions, which we introduced. A perfectly hardy Rose with cup-shaped, 

 faintly scented, bright satiny pink blossoms, which are only medium in 

 size, but a well matured bush is always in bloom. Growth is about 4 feet, 

 so do not use this in a Rose-bed. It makes a fine specimen bush or j^illar 

 Rose. SI each. 



*HERMOSA. For continuous bloom, this Rose is a veritable wonder. The 

 flowers are light pink, well-formed, and borne in clusters. Verv fine for border- 

 ing driveways because of its hardy, neat growth. A quaint, old-fashioned Rose, 

 whose free blooming, healthy growth, and general cheerfulness puts many mod- 

 ern beauties to shame. SI each.
