A Bed op Baby Rambler Roses 



BABY RAMBLER AND POLYANTHA ROSES 



A type of Roses which is very popular for bedding purposes. They form shapely, compact, bushy specimens about 18 inches 

 high, producing in great profusion from early in the season until severe frost immense trusses of small flowers. Pruning is not 

 necessary; simply remove the past season's flower stems. 



NEW POLYANTHA ROSE ETOIEE EITISANTE OR BABY HERRIOT 



Just picture to yourself the Fairy or Sweetheart Rose ("Cecile Brunner"), colored up like the Daily Mail Rose ("Mme. 

 Edouard Herriot"), only brighter and more brilliant than when that variety is at its best, and you will have some conception of 

 the beauty of this little gem which on account of the similarity in color has been known among the cut flower trade as Baby 

 Herriot. 



Its color is a shrimp-pink with intense coppery-scarlet suffusion, the base of the petals golden-yellow which intensifies and 

 lightens up its high colors. The plant is of free growth and very floriferous. We are certain that Baby Herriot will please 

 everyone. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Anchen Muller (Pink Baby Rambler). Large clusters of 

 brilliant rose flowers; the edges of the petals are wavy, giving 

 it a peculiarly graceful form. 



Cecile Brunner (The Fairy or Sweetheart Rose). A Poly- 

 antha variety with dainty double little flowers of perfect form 

 produced in many flowered graceful sprays; color a soft rosy 

 pink on a rich creamy-white ground. 



Clothilde Soupert (Polyantha Rose). An old favorite, 

 producing in clusters beautiful perfectly double flowers of a 

 French-white, deepening to rosy-blush in the centre ; very 

 free-flowering and deservedly popular. 



Echo. A new soft tender pink variety on the style of Baby 

 Tausendschcen, but of much greater vigor, producing on 

 well-established plants shoots 2J feet high which are much- 

 branched, frequently forming trusses of flowers over 12 inches 

 in diameter. 



Ellen Poulsen. A very fine bril'iant pink; large, full, sweet- 

 scented; vigorous habit and mos; floriferous. 



Erna Teschendorf^. A "sport" from the Crimson Baby 

 Rambler, as bright as Gruss an Teplitz, the well-known 

 Hybrid-Tea, which has been well described as the "Reddest 

 of all red Roses." 



George Elger, Coppery golden-yellow before fully erpanded, 

 opening up a pale-yellow, particularly handsome in the bud 

 state, a splendid companion to Cecile Brunner, the Fairy or 

 Sweetheart Rose. 



Louise Walter (Baby Tausendschazn). Identical in color 

 to the popular climbing Tausendschcen, a soft, tender shade of 

 pink; flowers 1£ to 2 inches in diameter produced throughout 

 the season in trusses of 10 to 20 flowers each. 



Mme. Jules Gouchault. A vigorous grower, producing long 

 stems with erect panicles of 25 to 50 most perfectly formed 

 flowers of a bright vermilion-red shaded orange-red, passing 

 as they mature to a lively bright rose color. 



Mme. Norbert Levavasseur ( Crimson Baby Rambler). 

 Similar in color to the climbing Crimson Rambler. One of 

 the most popular. 



Mrs. Cutbush (Cerise-pink Baby Rambler). Similar in 

 color to the beautiful Lady Gay Rambler; always in flower. 



Orleans. One of the best; flowers of large size of brilliant 

 geranium-red, becoming suffused with rose as the flowers 

 mature, and large white centre; a very pretty color combi- 

 nation. 



Yvonne Rabier. The best white Baby Rambler, with full 



double flowers produced in great profusion. 

 Price. Any of the above, except where noted, strong two-year-old-plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
