New Polyantha or Baby Roses for Forcing 



Magnifiqiie. A sport from the popular variety Or- 

 leans that will unquestionably prove to be the most 

 popular pink variety for forcing for pot culture. 

 Color pink, like Dorothy Perkins but with neatly 

 undulated or wavy petals forming most attractive 

 semi-double flowers which are produced early and 

 profusely in large branching many-flowered grace- 

 ful trusses. Strong 2-year-old plants. $50.00 per 

 100. 



Golden Salmon. This new color in the Baby Roses 

 is remarkable, a most distinct, brilliant, luminous 

 orange-scarlet that everyone admires and which is 

 certain to become one of the most popular of the 

 Baby type, as a plant for the garden or as a pot 

 plant for Easter, Mother's or Memorial Day. 

 We have a large stock of strong two-year-old 

 plants, .540.00 per 100.

 rose passing to a white centre, very free, one of the 

 most desirable varieties.

 Rose with exceptionally large flowers for this type, 

 always a mass of bloom throughout the season, 

 color flesh pink with salmon and yellow shadings,

 are of very vigorous habit, growing from 2 to 3 feet 

 high and are a mass of attractive flowers throughout 

 the season. The blooms are about two inches or more 

 across, very substantial, not only holding their bril- 

 liant colors without fading but last for ten days or

 they will not disappoint you.

Hybrid-Musk Roses 



Perpetual flowering Roses of shrub-like habit, valu- 

 able for planting in the shrubbery, being particularly 

 attractive in the fall. 



Cornelia. Always in bloom, with fragrant rosette 

 shaped flowers about 3 inches in diameter, borne in 

 clusters. Color strawberry flushed yellow. 

 Penelope. Semi-double, shell pink flowers shaded saf- 

 fron, borne in branched clusters. Growth vigorous,

Ne\v Polyantha Rose, Magniiique 



Trailing Hybrid-Rugosa Rose 

 Max Graf 



Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will 

 be found most valuable as a ground cover for which 

 purpose it is far superior to any of the Wichuraiana 

 varieties. The foliage resembles Rosa Rugosa, is re- 

 tained very late in the season, it is practically im- 

 mune to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. 

 Its flowers are large, single, bright pink with prettily 

 crimped petals. For planting on a steep bank or for 

 trailing over a stone wall, it has no equal. $50.00 per 

 100.

Red F. J. Grootendorst. The red ever-blooming Baby 

 Rugosa. $45.00 per 100. 



Pink P. J. Grootendorst. Pretty clear pink Baby Ru- 

 gosa. $45.00 per 100.
