Exceptional 

 Hardiness 



MAD. PLANTIER 

 (Hybrid China) — 

 Though in cultivation 

 since 1835, this continues 

 to be one of the most satis- 

 factory of all garden 

 Roses. It is a very hardy 

 variety that resists cold, 

 drought and other unfa- 

 vorable conditions of soil 

 »and season, with equal 

 vigor. For this reason, it is used ex- 

 tensively for cemetery planting. It 

 stands any amount of neglect. The 

 clusters of pure white flowers are ex- 

 tremely beautiful and are produced 

 very freely during the early summer. 



Heavy field-grown plants, each, 

 75c; dozen, $7.50. 



HARRISON'S YELLOW — One of the finest 

 semi-double, bright golden yellow roses. The 

 flowers cover the whole of the plant in early Spring, 

 and are very fragrant. Price, each, $1.00; dozen, 

 $10.00. 



HYBRID — RUGOSA ROSE 



CONRAD F. MEYER — An exceptionally ; vig- 

 orous variety producing, under favorable conditions, 

 canes 8 feet or more in height. With careful train- 

 ing, some remarkably fine garden effects may be 

 created with the help of this Rose. The clear silvery- 

 rose flowers are very large, quite double, and showy 

 in the extreme. They are borne on long strong 

 stems and are highly fragrant, a combination that 

 makes this a fine Rose for cutting. 



Price, heavy two-year-old plants, 75c. each; 

 $7.50 per dozen. 



ROSA HUGONIS 



A species originally brought from China, where it 

 was discovered by Father Hugo, in whose honor it is 

 named. Like many other rare floral gems from the 

 Orient, this variety is spectacular in its exotic 

 beauty. Imagine a many branched shrub, 6 to 8 

 feet tall, rearing slender sprays in all directions, 

 gracefully arching beneath loads of bright yellow, 

 single flowers, an inch and a half in diameter — - and 

 you have Rosa Hugonis at its best. 



ROSA 

 HUGONIS — ' 

 THE YELLOW 

 WONDER FROM 

 CHINA 



The flowers are 

 borne on the pre- 

 vious season's 

 growth and appear very 

 early in the spring, be- 

 fore the foliage. Later in 

 the season, it throws up 

 many new branches (next 

 season's flowering wood) and 

 these branches are of a beau- 

 tiful deep red color, which 

 makes the shrub a garden attraction al- 

 most throughout the growing season. 

 A hedge of Rosa Hugonis, besides be- 

 ing a delight to the eye, also forms an 

 impenetrable barrier to animals, since the canes are 

 heavily covered with thorns. Strong field grown 

 plants, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



MOSS ROSES 



These differ from the run of garden Roses in hav- 

 ing exceptionally heavy, almost leather-like foliage, 

 while the calix of each flower is surrounded thickly 

 with mossy sepals which add considerably to the 

 attractiveness of both buds and flowers. As a 

 class, Moss Roses belong among the hardiest of the 

 species. They make impenetrable hedges and, by 

 severe pruning each spring, may be kept down to any 

 height desired. They are quite free bloomers and 

 the flowers are delightfully fragrant. 



We offer three Varieties as follows : 



CRESTED MOSS — A delightfully fragrant sort ; of 

 pale rosy pink, crested with rich green shadowy moss. 



SALET — Rosy pink; very double, with the true 

 Moss Rose odor. Very vigorous, grows rapidly and 

 blooms well. 



WHITE BATH — One of the very finest of the 

 white-flowered Moss Roses. 



Price : Any of above three varieties, heavy two- 

 year-old plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen. 



Special Offer: We will send one each of above 

 three unique Moss Roses for $2.00.
