Out-of-the-Ordinary Roses 



• SCHOENER'S 

 NUTKANA. H. 



Species. We named 

 this enormous single 

 Rose in honor of its 

 hybridizer. Father 

 Schoener. About 

 m i d - M a y , here, 

 large, single blooms 

 and sharply pointed 

 buds literally en- 

 velop the plant. 

 As several blossoms 

 appear in succession 

 on each flowering 

 stem, the plants are bright with blooms for nearly four 

 weeks. It inherits perfect hardiness from its parents, the 

 Alaskan species Rose, Nutkana, crossed with Paul Neyron, 

 H.P. The canes are upright, showing extraordinary vigor 

 and robustness. Bright orange hips add color to the plants in 

 the fall. A mass planting of these Roses produces a gorgeous 

 floral display. $1 each. 



*NUR MAHAL. A crimson, everblooming pillar Rose. Semi- 

 double, mildly scented blooms in clusters from May to Novem- 

 ber. This Rose has proved to be one of the most profuse and 

 continuous bloomers among hardy pillar Roses. $1 each. 



• PROSPERITY. White. A semi-climber or piflar, hardy and 

 everblooming. Produces masses of pink-tinted buds and 

 fragrant white flowers. It is seldom without bloom. $1 each. 



• BIRDIE BLY. Pink. An everblooming shrub Rose which pro- 

 duces a profusion of clustered, long-pointed carmine buds and 

 rose-pink blooms. A favorite in northern states. $1 each. 



• DR. E. M. MILLS. Primrose. A hybrid of Rosa Hugonis. 

 Schoener's Nutkana ^^^ flowers are large, semi-double and come singly along the 



stems, almost covering the entire plant. Color is light primrose 

 with a pink suff"usion. This is one of the most beautiful of the hardy shrub Roses. $1.25 each. 



• DR. ECKENER. New. Spinel pink. This is a new variety, entirely diff"erent 

 from any other Rose. In its native Germany it is described as yellow, but 

 here the large, semi-double, cupped blooms are an enchanting fresh spinel 

 pink with the base of the petals deep golden yellow. The flowers are delight- 

 fully perfumed and they have the simplicity and charm of a native wild Rose. 

 This is a choice shrub Rose; it grows about 4 feet high, blooms intermittently 

 all season, and has exceptionallv fine foliage. $1.50 each. 



• YORK AND LANCASTER. Damask. Striped red and white. Buds and 

 flowers are wonderfully striped, white and red, while occasionally they are all 

 red. Legend says the first bush was found in 1551. $1 each. 



• MOSS ROSE, SALET. (See Moss Rose Buds in iflustration.) Hardy as an 

 oak. The best pink of the heavily mossed varieties. $1 each.
