LOVETTS NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. — BABY RAMBLER ROSES 35 



BABY RAMBLER OR POLYANTHA ROSES 



These charming roses are just beginning to find that degree of appreciation on the part of Rose lovers 

 which their many unique characteristics cause them to deserve. The clusters of flowers and foliage in 

 general resemble those of the regular tall Rambler Rose, but there the resemblance ceases. Whilo-the 

 Ramblers bloom for the best part of a month, their baby cousins literally bloom throughout summer and 

 fall. They start to bloom during June and, at this writing (November 18th), some of these are still bloom- 

 ing on Long Island. 



The Baby Ramblers lend themselves ideally for planting in either solid beds (see illustration), in 

 which case one or two varieties at the most should be used, or they may be planted along walks, or scat- 

 tered through the hardy border where they will add color throughout the season. When fully developed, 

 Baby Rambler Rose bushes average 18 to 24 inches high and about the same across. For best" results 

 they should be planted about three feet apart, although in a solid bed two feet apart is ample. With us, 

 all those offered are hardy without protection. Price (except as noted), strong field-grown plants, 75c. 

 each; $7.50 per dozen; $50.00 per 100. 



THE MOST MERITORIOUS VARIETIES 



BABY DOROTHY — A prolific producer of pure 

 pink flowers, with all of the good qualities of 

 Crimson Baby Rambler. 



CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER (Mme. Norbert 

 Levavasseur) — The well-known original Baby 

 Rambler. During the entire summer, it produces 

 a constant display of small, double purplish crimson 

 roses in clusters. 



EDITH CAVELL — The very best of its color, 

 which is a brilliant scarlet held right through 

 until the flowers drop off. The plant is of vigorous 

 growth and blooms profusely. 



ELLEN PAULSON — Yields a profusion of 

 brilliant, deep pink, large flowers, borne in clusters. 



ERNA TESCHENDORF — An improved form 

 of the original Baby Rambler, being a more daz- 



zling crimson and the flowers fuller than those of 

 its parent. Blooms from Ma}' to end of October. 



LAFAYETTE — The most free-flowering of all 

 ^Baby Ramblers, reminding one, in its habit, of ever 

 famous "Gruss an Teplitz," among the Everbloom- 

 ing Roses. Of compact, bushy habit, with flowers of 

 great size, borne in even greater clusters. Color — 

 a pure crimson, shaded a lighter red as flowers fade. 

 Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



MRS. CUTBUSH — Deep bright pink; a very 

 free bloomer; one of the very best.
