Sir Thomas Lipton — Regosa Rose. 



I Hardy, Iron Clad Japanese Roses 



(REGOSA ROSE; 



These Hardy Japanese Roses make dense, sturdy, compact bushes, 3 to 5 feet high 

 and very ornamental. Their dark, rich leathery foliage is oddly wTinkled, shiny and re- 

 markably free from insect pests: the large, fragrant double and semi-double flowers are 

 produced in profusion throughout the summer, and followed in the autumn with a profu- 

 sion of beautiful orange red or crimson fruits. The plants are hardy as oaks, and do well 

 in the most trying places; seashore, mountains or anywhere. E.\cellent for making 

 hedges or planting on the lawn with shrubbery or in isolated groups. If you want some- 

 thing unique, appropriate and permanent, try some of these on yoar lairn. The best two varie- 

 ties are the following: 



SIR THOMAS LIPTON 



Color, pure snow-white, 3 to 4 in. across and perfectly double. Flowers are very fra 

 grant, borne on strong, upright stems all through the growing season. Price ISc. each, 

 postpaid. Large 2 year old, 35c. each. 



AGNES EMILY CARMAN 



It is semi-double, and flowers in clusters; a beautiful crimson shade like General Jac- 

 queminot; a free and continuous bloomer. A rampant grower, handsome foUage. Price 

 1 5c. each, postpaid. ' Large 2 year old, 35c. each. 



Hardy Hybrid Sweet Bf iar RoSeS 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common sweet briar and various other Roses 

 and, like their parent, the foliage is deliciously scented. The flowers are large and produced 

 in great profusion, and the plants are perfectly hardy, and possess a robust vigor which 

 is quite astomshing. They are strong, vigorous growers, throwing long, graceful branches, 

 which are wreathed ^ath flowers. These briars are seen to best advantage when isolated on 

 lawn, or if grouped set far enough apart to allow of each plant having unrestricted freedom 

 and its branches to hang gracefully and naturally. On no account should they be pruned 

 beyond removing whatever branches are undesirable to keep. If pruned back like ordinary 

 Roses they produce very few blossoms. Give each plant a 4 to 6 foot long stake and tie 

 up some of the leading shoots to it. The best two varieties are the following: 



ANNIE OF GEIERSTEIN 



Large, handsome, deep crimson flowers; graceful branching habit;

ROSES 



S.andard, or Tree Roses. 



The unique effects 

 produced by groupings 

 on the lawn or border 

 lines of Tree Roses 

 makes them very de- 

 sirable. They can also 

 be planted among or 

 back of a collection of 

 Bush Roses — thus 

 making a two-storied 

 rose bed, as it were. 

 They occupy but little 

 ground space and 

 when in full bloom 

 look like mammoth 

 bouquets of Roses on 

 little trees 4 to 5 feet 

 high, an imposing and 

 beautiful sight. All 

 the Winter protection 

 required is to loosen 

 the soil at the roots 

 enough to lean the 

 plant so that the top 

 comes nearthe ground, 

 then it can be covered 

 with soil or two boards 

 nailed together V- 

 shaped and filled with 

 dry leaves. In the 

 Spring the weak .shoots 

 should be cut out and 

 the stronger ones 

 pruned back to three 

 or four eyes. We have 

 them in the white, the 

 different shades of 



gink, red and crimson.

 Price $1.00 each.

 expense.
