Select Hardy Roses 



PHILADELPHIA— A seedling of, and an im- 

 provement upon, the glorious Crimson Eambler. It 

 is not so strong a grower, but blooms about two 

 weeks earlier, while the flowers and clusters are 

 larger and of a brighter crimson. 



MRS. LOVETT .— A double, bright pink, sweet- 

 scented form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It retains all 

 the excellent properties of its parent and in ad- 

 dition has double flowers — two to two and one- 

 half inches in diameter — and are of the most 

 cheerful, bright rosy-pink imaginable. In every 

 other respect it is a true Wichuraiana. 



TAUSENDSCHON (Thousand Beauties). — A 



strong growing variety and covered from early 

 June until July with clusters of semi-double flow- 

 ers of every shade, from white to deep pink. The 

 roses are larger than those of the average rambler 

 and are produced in a bewildering profusion and 

 variety of color. (See Cut.)

VEILCHENBLAU (Blue Rambler).— In habit 

 somewhat like Crimson Rambler with larger flow- 

 ers borne in a loose cluster. I feel constrained to 

 say, this unique Rose has been given greater 

 praise than it deserves. True, it comes nearer to 

 being a blue Rose than any other I have seen, 

 yet its name "Violet blue" is misleading, for it 

 is not a "true blue," but a dingy, "muddy" sort 

 of blue, if blue it can be termed at all. I think 

 there are many others that surpass it in merit. 



WICHURAIANA (Memorial Rose).— A perfect 

 trailer, hugging the ground closely. It grows 

 from ten to flfteen feet in a season, and is densely 

 furnished with dark green, glossy foliage. The 

 flowers are single, pure snowy white, with bright 

 golden yellow stamens and with the fragrance 

 of the Banksia Rose. 



WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS.— In this we have 

 what has been wanted for a long time, i. e., a 

 really good, free-blooming Climbing Rose with 

 pure white flowers. It is a sport of the popular 

 Dorothy Perkins and exactly like it in every 

 way, except its flowers are pure white. Strong, 

 two years, each, 30c.; dozen, $3.00. From 5 inch 

 pots, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 



WHITE RAMBLER AND YELLOW RAM- 

 BLER. — These two roses are similar in habit to 

 Crimson Rambler; the former producing double, 

 pure white, and the latter clear lemon-yellow 

 roses in clusters. 



Price (except as noted), strong, two years old, 

 each, 25c.; dozen, $2.50; 100, $18.00. 



Price (except as noted), from five and six inch 

 pots, each, 35c.; dozen, $3.50.

MOSS ROSES 



Very hardy and much admired by reason of the 

 mossy covering of the calyx and their delightful 

 fragrance. I have them in separate colors, viz.. 

 Pink, Red and White. Strong, two years old, each, 

 30c.; dozen, $3.00.
