 tiful plants, 6 feet in height and spread, are covered to 

 the tips of the graceful drooping canes with brilhant 

 yellow, single blooms in early May. Makes a dis- 

 tinctive and almost impenetrable hedge. $1.25 ea.; 

 3 for $3.35. 



EVERBLOOMING SHRUB ROSES 



Both of these Roses impress us as outstanding over 

 any other hardy flowering shrubs. In vigor, sturdiness 

 and continuous bloom they are superior, to a remarkable 

 degree. They need little care; flourish indefinitely; 

 bloom with spring regal lilies, fall chrysanthemums, and 

 all the time between. 



^MARTHA LAMBERT. An everblooming Shrub 

 Rose with large clusters of intense scarlet, single 

 blooms Kke heads of phlox. Hardy, healthy and at- 

 tractive. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35. 



^THE FAIRY. This Rose is one of the finest and 

 most useful plants ever introduced. Rosettes 

 of seashell-pink come in large sprays. It forms a 

 medium-low, spreading bush with small, shiny, at- 

 tractive foliage which seems to be proof against dis- 

 ease or neglect. For adding a charming spot of con- 

 stant bloom in front of a shrub border or anywhere 

 else in the garden, it has no equal. Rated 9.3 out of 

 10 by the American Rose Society in 1947; no Rose 

 of any type being judged was rated higher, except 

 Peace. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35.
