 Bon Silene fertilized with Louis Van Houtte ; plant vigorous with fine foliage ; free

 sweet. 50 cents. 



William F. Bennett, vig. {Bennett, 1885.) Beautiful glowing crimson,

 free bloomer, but only a moderate grower. 75 cents. 



CLASS VI.— POLYANTHA ROSES. 



{Rosa Folyantha.) 



ALL ON OWN ROOTS. 



This is an interesting group from Japan, of comparatively recent introduction. The foliage 

 and flowers are both very small, the latter being produced in panicles. The original varieties ai-e 

 non-remontant, but what we offer are crosses or hybrids, natural or artificial, between the single 

 flowered Polyantha and varieties of other classes, Teas, etc. They are ever blooming, of slender 

 growth, produce extremely beautiful little flowers, and are quite as hardy as the Hybrid Noisettes 

 and Hybrid Teas. Their character of blossoming in panicled clusters, gives them a distinctive 

 interest, and they are much esteemed by those who have seen them. As an edging for a bed of 

 monthly roses they are very effective and useful. We are greatly pleased with them, and strongly 

 recommend them to all devotees of the Rose.
