*Rosa Hugonis 



"THE GOLDEN ROSE OF CHINA" 

 Tke aristocrat of hardy flowering hedge plants 



The Arnold Arboretum, Boston, Mass., contains 

 the greatest collection of woody flowering plants in 

 this country. The late Dr. E. H. Wilson said: "As 

 to the Rosa Hugonis, it should be in every garden, for 

 it is the best of all hardy yellow-flowering Roses, and 

 one of the most lovely plants known." 



The extreme hardiness of this "Golden Rose of 

 China," its habit of blooming early in May, some- 

 times when snow is on the ground, and the long w^ands 

 of fairy-like blossoms produced everj- year, all go to 

 make Hugonis one of the most valued shrub Roses. 

 When fully grown it is about 6 feet in height, with 

 graceful, arching branches that are completely covered 

 with bloom to the very tips in early May. 



This beautiful shrub Rose, with its dainty foliage 

 and graceful growth, makes a distinctive and almost 

 impenetrable hedge. Plan now for a flowering hedge 

 of Hugonis, placing the plants II/2 to 2 feet apart. 

 It is hardy in Alaska, requires no attention, and blooms 

 best when planted in unfertilized soil. 75 cts. each; 

 6 for $3.75. W^rite for quantity prices.

*GOLDEN MOSS • Hybrid Moss. Yellow 



Here is one of the rarest Rose-treats of all time 

 — a 3-eIIow Moss Rose, the first one ever pro- 

 duced. Moss Roses have been grown in gardens 

 since the sixteenth century, but the\' have been 

 confined to pink, red, and white. Pedro Dot, of 

 Spain, who has produced so many sensational 

 Roses during the past few years, scrambled 

 Blanche Moreau, the popular white Moss, Souv. 

 de Claudius Pernet, and Frau Karl Druschki, 

 and the result was Druschki's strong growth, Per- 

 net's color, and Moreau's moss. Fat pinkish 

 buds open a rich golden buff with a pinkish tint. 

 The flowers are about 3 inches in diameter, fully 

 double, and twace fragrant — the corolla has a 

 dehcious Rose perfume which is almost hidden 

 under the pungent scent of the mossy calyx. 

 The plant is symmetrical in growth with attrac- 

 tive fohage. $2.50 each.
