The Dainty Buds of Mile. Cecile Bruner. 



Polyantha, or Fairy Roses 



The members of this distinct and charming class of ever- 

 blooming Roses, of which the Baby Rambler forms a con- 

 spicuous group, are distinguished by their dwarf, bushy 

 habit of growth, medium size, very double flowers and de- 

 lightful fragrance. They are borne in large clusters and 

 masses, almost covering the whole plant with a sheet of 

 bloom. Our two-year-old plants are particularly good.
