• ROSA HUGONIS, "The Golden Rose of China." 



Species. See illustration. The aristocrat of hardy 

 flowering shrubs. The extreme hardiness of this lovely 

 "Golden Rose of China," its habit of blooming early 

 in May, and the long wands of fairy-like blossoms, all 

 go to make Hugonis one of the most valued shrub 

 Roses. The graceful, arching branches 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 im- 

 penetrable hedge. Plant 15 inches apart. Requires 

 no attention, and blooms best when planted in unfertilized 

 soil. 75 cts. each.* Write for quantity prices. 



• AUSTRIAN COPPER. Copper-red and golden yellow. 

 The delight of landscape architects for flashing color in a shrub 

 border. The single blooms, coppery red on the inside and vivid 

 yellow on the outside of the petals, give the effect of a bush 

 covered with brilliant butterflies. Do not prune this exquisite 

 shrub Rose. 75 cts. each.*

 bright yellow Rose that was seen in so many old American 

 dooryards. A lovely shrub which is loaded with double,

 white, but occasionally all red. First known in 1551 and named

 the Lancastrians red, and this Rose symbolized the union of 

 the two factions. $1 each.*

Perfectly hardy. They grow from 4 to 6 feet high.

• GOLDEN MOSS. H.Moss. (P. Dot, 1932.) Buff- 

 yellow. One of the rarest Rose-treats of all time — a 

 yellow Moss Rose, the first one ever produced. Moss 

 Roses have been garden favorites for centuries. There 

 have been many varieties of white, pink, and light red, 

 but not until the Spanish wizard turned his attention 

 to the Mosses did anyone ever see a yellow one. Fat 



pinkish buds open a rich golden yellow buff" with 

 a pinkish tint and age to cream-white. The flowers 

 are about 3 inches in diameter, fully double, and 

 twice fragrant — the corolla has a delicious Rose 

 perfume which is almost hidden under the pun- 

 gent scent of the mossy calyx. Can be used as a 

 pillar (mature plants will make 8-foot canes), or 

 if trimmed will make a shapely bush, 4 feet high 

 and as much through. $1 each.*

 are heavily mossed. Introduced 1843 and still in demand. Very 

 hardy. Grows 6 feet. Flowers are white, full, and fragrant.

 over 100 years ago. The rosy pink buds are crested with moss 

 that has a spicy sweetbriar fragrance when touched. The 

 flowers are moderately fragrant. 75 Cts. each.*
