A Bed of Baby Ramblers 



Polyantha Roses 



These, sometimes called Fairie Roses, are the most 

 truly everblooming of all roses — they are practically 

 never out of flower during the entire season. Dwarf in 

 size, with an average height of less than 18 inches, com- 

 pact growth, great hardiness, beautiful, well-formed 

 blooms which last well on the bush, make this class 

 indispensable for edging, massing, and mingling with 

 other flowers. The class covers a wide range of forms, 

 sizes and colors, so the individual taste may be satisfied. 

 They are rapidly growing in popularity because beauty 

 in miniature is always appreciated. 



A conspicuous group is composed of the Baby 

 Ramblers, so caUed because of the resemblance, in 

 dwarf, to the ramblers, with blooms produced in large, 

 many flowered clusters, and growth hardly 12 inches in 

 height. 



Baby Doll or Tip Top 



The flowers are miniature in size but magnificent in 

 form and produced by the hundreds. Exquisite for 

 cutting or bouquets and bedding purposes. Makes a 

 magnificent show in the open ground, always blooming 

 from early spring until late faU. The tips of the petals 

 are vivid scarlet, then meUowing down through shades 

 of pink into saff'ron, lavender and gold, finally into deep 

 old gold, a combination extraordinary and pleasing. 

 Foliage slender and produced in abundance, dark lustre 

 green.
