Polyantha, or Fairy Roses 



The members of this distinct and charming class of everblooming Roses are distinguished by their 

 dwarf, bushy habit of growth, medium size, very double flowers and dehghtful fragrance. They are borne 

 in large clusters and masses, almost covering the whole plant with a sheet of bloom. The Polyanthas are 

 vigorous growers, constant and profuse bloomers, giving a very pretty effect for general planting as well 

 as for edges and borders of beds of larger-growing kinds. Their beauty and exquisite fragrance will survive 

 the winter in favorable situations with usual protection. Our two-year-old plants are particularly good. 



Price, except where noted, 10 cts. each, 50 cts. for 6, $1 per doz.; two-year -old plants, 35 cts. each, 



$3.50 per doz

Soldi d'Of 



(Golden Sun) 



This Rose is the first of a new race, 

 unique in habit of growth and color. The 

 plants are strong and robust, with 

 straight branches and heavy deep green 

 foliage. The flowers are large and globu- 

 lar, very full, the center petals well in- 

 curved, giving a double effect. The color 

 of a fully expanded flower is very unusual 

 and unequaled by that of any other 

 Rose — a blending of reddish gold, orange- 

 yellow, nasturtium-red and pink. It has 

 proved hardy in every section of the 

 country. Does not succeed well when pro- 

 pagated on its own roots. We offer it in 

 strong, two-year-old, low-budded, dor- 

 mant plants until April 1st, at 60 cts. 

 each; after that date, two-year-old pot 

 plants, by express only, at 65 cts. each.

 ers and buds have an abundance of
