^^Sturdy as Oak" Rugosas 



For years we have advocated the planting of this class 

 of new and rare Roses, which are now becoming so 

 popular. They can be used in so many ways that they 

 are almost indispensable. They make sturdy, compact 

 bushes, four to six feet high, which are ver>' ornamental, 

 owing to their dark, shiny, rich green, wrinkled, leathery 

 foliage. Free from insects and disease, thrive under 

 almost any condition and hardy as an oak. Also excellent 

 for hedges or cemetery planting. Some bloom all sum- 

 mer, but all produce in the fall the beautiful orange-red 

 or crimson seed pods, producing a striking effect.
