POT-GROWN GARDEN ROSES 



FOR MID-SUMMER PLANTING 



We are again able to offer a splendid lot of strong two-year-old pot-grown Roses in prinae condition for summer planting. 



By planting now you not only gain practically a full season's growth, but, if conditions are at all favorable, you will secure a 

 fair amount of flowers at once and during the fall, and if the cultural notes on page 155 of this year's Garden Book are followed 

 you will be laying the foundation for a grand display of flowers next spring and summer. This, while it holds true on all the 

 various types of Roses, is particularly the case with the Hybrid-Tea varieties, which, on account of their remarkable free flower- 

 ing qualities and comparative hardiness, have given a new impetus to Rose planting with most gratifying results. 



.The plants which we supply at the present time are all strong two-year-old plants in five-inch pots in such condition that it 

 given any chance at all, will give quick and satisfactory returns. 



Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses 



For Garden culture the Hybrid-Tea Roses have now taken the foremost rank. They have been produced by crossing the free- 

 flowering Tea Roses with other varieties, principally of the June-flowering or Hybrid Perpetual classes, thus combining not only 

 the free- flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the rich and varied colors of the other classes, but also comparative hardiness. 



The greatest efforts of the world's most noted Rose specialists during the past quarter of a century have been devoted to this 

 class of Rose, and the results achieved have been really wonderful. Not only is every color known in Roses now represented, 

 but there are many beautiful shades and color combinations not found in the other types. 



Cleveland (Hugh Dickson, 1917). Very large flow- 

 ers, full, of exquisite form and produced freely and con- 

 tinuously throughout the season. Color is a deep 

 glowing pink, the base of each petal heavily flushed 

 with deep copper. $1.50 each. 



Constance (Fernet-Ducher, 1915). A free-flowering 

 variety, producing beautiful long orange-yellow buds 

 of perfect form; these are more or less streaked with 

 crimson; as the flowers fully develop they open to a
