This new type of Rose gives us two of the world's 

 most valuable plants for use about the home grounds. 

 For they are medium small, refined shrubs that bloom 

 all season. Their growth is vase or mound-shaped, 

 densely branching, thick and bushy. Use, for instance, 

 in place of the more common Barberry or Bridal Wreath 

 for a planting of greater distinction and constant, 

 lovely bloom from June to freezing weather.

 Rose with large clusters of intense scarlet, single 

 blooms like heads of phlox. Hardy, healthy and

*THE FAIRY. See illustration. One of the finest 

 and most useful plants ever introduced. A regular

 low, spreading bush with small, shiny, attractive 

 foliage that seems to be proof against disease or

 $3.35.
