Hybrid Perpetual Rose, J. B. CLARK. 



A splendid addition to the class, in fact the most remarkable 

 in years. A very strong grower, with large, handsome foliage. 

 The coloring is superb, a most brilliant crimson with intense 

 scarlet lights on the upper surfaces. It is very fragrant, the 

 form of the flowers is perfect and of the largest size, the petals 

 are broad and smooth and gracefully curved. Awarded a gold 

 medal by the National Rose Society of Great Britain. The 

 foregoing is the description given when we first offered this 

 Grand Rose in 1908. It is technically correct but hardly does 

 justice to this glorious variety; in fact it would be difficult to 

 adequately describe it. In size, form, color and texture it is 

 the most remarkable and beautiful Rose ever introduced. Price, 

 1st size, 75c. each; 87.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, S6.00 per 

 doz. Ready April loth. Dormant plants up to April 15th, 40c. 

 each, S4.00 per doz. Young plants, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



THE HARDY MEMORIAL ROSE. 



Rosa Wichuraiana. It is difficult to conceive anything more 

 appropriate, beautiful and enduring for covering graves and plots 

 in cemeteries than the Hardy Memorial Rose. It creeps along 

 the ground as closely as an Ivy, growing ten feet in one season, 

 and forming a dense mat of very dark green, lustrous foliage. 



The flowers are produced in lavish profusion in July, fairly 

 covering the plants. They are single, pure white, with a golden 

 yellow disc, 5 to 6 inches in circumference, and have the strong 

 fragrance of the Banksia Roses. It is also immensely valuable 

 as a Climbing Rose for covering arches, fences, etc. 



Price, 1st size plants, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 

 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz. Dormant plants up to April 15th, 

 25c. each, S2.50 per doz. 



KOSA KUGOSA, Japanese Rose. 



This beautiful race of Roses was first introduced by Commo- 

 dore Perry from Japan. Grows 4 or 5 feet high, beautiful, large 

 glossy foliage, distinctly wrinkled. The flowers are 3 inches 

 across, produced in terminal clusters of 10 to 20 [flowers, and 

 bloom all season, succeeded by large, handsome, orange-scarlet fruits.

A Fine Rose for Hedges, CONRAD F. MEYER. 



The color is beautiful, a pure silvery pink. Large, full, double flowers. Its 

 beautiful foliage alone should recommend it as an ornamental flowering shrub for 

 the garden. For a flowering hedge it should eventually take front rank. The 

 fragrance of the flowers is spicy and delightful. Price, strong 2-year-old plants,
