FOR SCREEN PLANTING AND BORDERS 



Almost every lawn might be improved if some uncomely object or portion 

 in the rear were screened from view. The right kind of Roses will do it, 

 and give you something beautiful instead. There are two ways to do it : 

 (1) Put up a trellis and train over it the Roses offered in the first group on 

 the opposite page, or (2) if it be only a low screen you need plant the tall 

 erect-growing Rugosa Roses. (And if you want a luxuriant growth dig the 

 ground deeply and give these Roses plenty of rich nourishment.)

 Alice Aldrich. Pink. 50 cts. each.

 SirThos. Lipton. White. 50 cts. each. 



These four if in one group should be set 2 to 3 feet apart. Price for the 4 2-yr. 

 plants $2.50, or 3-yr. $3.75, by express; express, if prepaid, 35 cts. extra. 



A ROSE HEDGE 



The best varieties for this 

 purpose will depend upon where 

 you live. For cold climates it is 

 doubtful if you can get any- 

 thing else quite so good 

 as the Rugosa Roses, 

 especially Sir Thomas 

 Lipton, see page 29. 

 Erect, stout, clean and 

 healthy looking, with 

 beautiful seed hips in 

 the fall. Next comes 



\. 



the Sweet Briar (see page 29) 

 with its deliciously fragrant 

 foliage. This makes quite a 

 cense growth under favorable 

 conditions. But 

 for both the above 

 a more satisfac- 

 tory result can be 

 obtained by plaut- 

 ing a post and 

 wire fence to 

 which the hea^y 



Doroihy Perkins—*' I mark the sunny 



upright canes can be fastened, somewhat as you would grape-vines. A per- 

 fect glory of bloom and foliage will decorate that obliterated fence. 



In warmer countries, or even in our own latitude, a single row of a free- 

 fiowering erect bushy Rose is sure to be pretty and very satisfactory where 

 one wishes to simply mark a boundary, as, for example, between the vege- 

 table- and flower-garden. For this purpose Clotilde Soupert, see page 21, is 

 excellent. In a different way the Polyanthas are also popular, especially 

 Baby Rambler, see page 20, and Cecile Brunner, see page 21, and Baby 

 Dorothy, see page 20. The list could readily be extended. 



The Roses came to hand and I must say they are the finest I ever got, and i 



have ordered hundreds of Roses in my orders in 40 years.— G. W. S (From 



A Park Supt.), Pennsylvania, 5-18-1908.
