DWARF BEDDING ROSES. 



Polyantha or Multiflora class. 

 A elass of Eoses of much value for bedding purposes, as they 

 form a mass of bloom. They are of dwarf habit, and are continu- 

 ously in flower during the entire season. They bloom in numerous 

 clusters of from 25 to 100 flowers In each cluster, the single flowers 

 being about- 1>£ inches across. These POLYANTHA ROSES aro 

 hardy In this latitude with slight protection. They are particularly 

 valuable for planting On the borders of beds of taller growing sorts, 

 or on the edge of " foliage " beds, as they are constantly in bloom, 

 and rarely attain more than 10 or 12 inches in height. They are also 

 largely used for borders in cemetery plats, their neat 'and tasteful 

 appearance commanding attention at first sight.

" Dinsmore" 



We repeat the description given of this grand variety when 

 first introduced by us, and would add that, next to " Sunset, ~ 

 it has had the largest sale of any Eose ever sent out by us. 

 "For years we havo been looking for a variety which had 

 all the desirable qualities of a bedding Eose— that is, one 

 jvhich was of good color, fine form, a profuse bloomer, and 

 which would stand the rigor of our Northern winters without 

 protection ; and we can conscientiously say that, until the 

 • Dinsmore ' was produced, there was none to our knowledge- 

 which combined all these qualities. It is a vigorous, healthy 

 Eose of branching habit, and is simply loaded with flowers- 

 all summer long, being even more profuse than most of the 

 tender ' ever-blooming ' Eoses. The flowers are large, per- 

 fectly double, and of a dazzling scarlet crimson color, and 

 have that rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to the best hybrid 

 Eoses." Wherever summer Eoso buds are wanted it has no 

 equal. {See cut, page 105.)

" Gloire de Margottin." 



This fine hardy Eose Is distinguished alike for its vigorous, 

 healthy constitution, freedom of bloom and handsome foliage; 

 but, beyond all it is decidedly the most brilliant hardy red 

 Rose as yet introduced. So Intense is the color that it might 

 almost be termed a scarlet. Added to these qualities, It has 

 flowers of the largest 6ize and most exquisite fragrance. It 

 will prove hardy everywhere. 



Price, 1st size, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz. ; 2d size, 60c. each,. 

 $6.00 per doz. ; 3d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.
