" Rosa Rugosa' 



Japanese Rose 



This beautiful race of Roses was 

 first introduced by Commodore 

 Perry from Japan. Grows 4 to 5 ft. 

 high, beautiful, large glossy foliage, 

 distinctly wrinkled. The flowers are 

 3 in. across, produced in terminal 

 clusters of 10 to 20 flowers, and 

 bloom all season, succeeded by 

 large, handsome, orange-scarlet 

 fruits. We offer the While and Red 

 sorts. Price, pot grown, 50c. each, 

 $5.00 per doz., $40.00 per 100. 



Our Third Size Roses are grown in three 

 inch pots. They are superior to the young 

 Roses from two-inch pots usually sent out be- 

 cause the larger pot gives ample room for 

 root action and allows the plant to grow 

 naturally. They are sturdy and compact 

 and when sent by express with the soil on 

 the roots transplanting scarcely checks their 

 growth. In the cut above we show a fair 

 sample of a two-inch pot plant as usually 

 sent out by the mail trade and a fair sample 

 taken from our stock growing in a 3-inch pot. 



Hardy Climbing Roses 



Baltimore Belle. Blush-white, large clusters. An old favorite. 



Climbing Wooton. Large, deep crimson flowers, richly perfumed. It is a very 



vigorous grower, almost impervious to mildew, ever-blooming so that flowers 



may be expected from well established plants flowering during the season.

with golden-yellow anthers. Single flowers. 

 Evangeline. The coloring is exquisitely dainty, the center being white half way 



up the petals, merging into a beautifully clear pink. Single flowers. 

 Flower of Fairfield. (Ever-blooming Crimson Rambler.) This variety is identical 



with Crimson Rambler: but has the additional value of producing more than one 



crop of flowers, many of the new shoots under normal conditions producing blooms. 

 Hiawatha. The color is glowing ruby-crimson, the center being clear white and filled 



with rich golden-yellow anthers, a striking combination. Single flowers.

climbing Roses. The flowers are borne in great clusters. The color is a beautiful 



light blush, very charming. The flowers are full and double and of good size.
