Continuous-Blooming Hardy Polyantna Roses 



Price for 75-ct. kinds, $7.50 per doz., $15 for 25 



These gay Roses are invaluable for adding life and color to the lawn and garden. They are used ex- 

 tensively for hedges, because the}' provide more color continuously than other hardy flowering plants. 

 Polyanthas start blooming in June and keep at it until heavy frosts drive them into dormancy. 



They range in height from the lovely Johanna Tantau, rarely over eight inches tall, to the majestic 

 fPouIsens whose single blooms are nearly four feet above the ground. A long border of Hybrid Perpetuals 

 in the back. Hybrid Teas in the middle, and the low-growing varieties of Polyanthas in front gives an 

 uninterrupted show ol Rose bloom.
