IE^OS_A. IRTJG-OS^.— The Ramanas Rose of Japan. 



The lovely Ramanas or Rugosa Roses receive in 

 their native country — Japan — the highest favor. 

 From them was made a favorite perfume of the 

 court ladies. They form sturdy bushes 3 to .5 feet 

 in height, covered with handsome, glos.sy green foli- 

 age, surmounted with clusters of beautiful single 

 flowers, which emit a delightful odor. They con- 

 tinue to bloom nearly the whole summer, and are 

 covered during autumn and winter with bright red 

 seed pods (heps). In dry and sandy soils or rough 

 situations they thrive and blossom and make beau- 

 tiful what would otherwise be an annoyance. The 

 double variety is by no means beautiful, and we 

 tlierefore do not list it.
