Moss Rose 



BEAUTIFUL SINGLE ROSES. 



The simplicity of the Single Rose appeals to everyone, and 

 as grown by the Dicksons in Ireland they are particularly hand- 

 some, and many interesting varieties have been intro- 

 duced during the past dozen years. From these we 

 have selected the two varieties offered below, which 

 have been very attractive in our trial grounds, and 

 which will add charm and beauty to any garden. 

 Irish Brightness. ' A brilliant, vivid crimson, shad- 

 ing to pink at the base of the petals. 

 Simplicity. Pure white, of immense size, awarded 

 a gold medal by the National Rose Society of 

 England. 



Strong 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz. 



MOSS ROSES. 



A class of Roses which are much admired. The 

 beauty of the flower consists in the delicate mossy cov- 

 ering which surrounds the bud, and gives to the open- 

 ing flower a unique appearance. Moss Roses should be 

 pruned sparingly; cut out the old wood and merely cut 

 back the growth of last year. 

 Blanche Horeau. Lovely large, pure white. 

 Countess de Mtirinais. Large, white, beautifully 



mossed. 

 Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested.

RAMAN AS OR RUGOSA ROSES. 



These lovely Roses form sturdy bushes 3 to 5 feet in height, 

 covered with handsome glossy green foliage and clusters of beau- 

 tiful fragrant single flowers. They bloom nearly the whole sum- 

 mer, and are equally as attractive during the autumn and winter 

 when covered with their large, brilliant red seedpods. Of healthy, 

 vigorous growth and equally desirable alike as single specimens or 

 for making a hedge. Rugosa Roses require no pruning, merely 

 cut out dead and superfluous wood.
