POLYANTHA AND BABY RAMBLER 

 ROSES 



A type of Roses which is very popular for bedding purposes. They form shape 

 ly, compact bushy specimens about 18 inches high, producing in great profu- 

 sion from early in the season until severe frost immense trusses of small flowers 



Cecile Brunner (The Fairy, or Sweetheart Rose). A Polyantha variety 

 with dainty double little flowers of perfect form produced in many flowered 

 graceful sprays; color a soft rosy-pink on a rich creamy-white ground. 



Chatillon Rose. A splendid new variety with gracefully formed semi- 

 double flowers in sprays of 15 to 50 or more flowers each. Color silvery 

 crimson-iose gradually passing to a white centre; one of the most dis- 

 tinctive and desirable varieties. 



Erna Teschendorf!. Medium sized bright red, semi-double flowers 

 on dwarf plants, 10 to 15 inches high, very free. 



George Elger. Buds bright yellow developing into dainty pale creamy 

 yellow blooms of pretty form in graceful sprays. 



Ideal. The darkest colored of all the Baby Roses, an intense rich lustrous 

 garnet, the flowers are not large but are produced in very large trusses and 

 are very effective. 



Katherine Zeimet. Very free flowering pure white. 



Lafayette. An entirely new break in the Baby Rambler type with brilliant 

 cherry-crimson flowers as large as Paul's Scarlet Climber; produced in 

 immense branched trusses frequently 40 to 50 flowers on one branch, free 

 and continuous blooming. 



Le Marne. A beautiful semi-double with very pretty, good 

 sized flowers, bright salmon-rose at the edges, rosy blush at the ,;. 

 centre, exceptionally free and continuous flowering; one of the 

 prettiest. 



Louise Walter (Baby Tausendsehoen). Identical in color with 

 the popular climbing Tausendschoen, a soft tender tone of 

 pink, flowers 1^ to 2 inches in diameter, produced throughout 

 the season in trusses of 10 to 20 flowers each. 



Miss Edith Cavell. Brilliant scarlet-red with darker shadings, 

 one of the most desirable deep colored varieties. 



Mme. Norbert Levavasseur (Crimson Baby Rambler). Similar in color 

 to the climbing Crimson Rambler. Very popular. 



Mrs. Cutbush. Almost identical in color with the Dorothy Perkins 



Rambler and always in bloom. 



Orleans. One of the best, flowers of comparatively large size of 

 brilliant geranium-red, becoming suffused with rose as the flow- 

 ers mature, and large white centre; a very pretty color com- 

 bination. 



Polyantha Rose Cecile Brunner (Sweetheart Rose) 



Superba. Unquestionably the richest colored dark variety yet 

 introduced, a brilliant, rich, deep carmine. The individual 

 flowers are of medium size, of most perfect imbricated form, a 

 specimen bloom, and are carried in large branching trusses; 

 very free flowering. 



Price. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. One each of the 14 varieties for $8.50. 



PERPETUAL FLOWERING BEDDING ROSES 



Gruss an Aachen. A very distinct type of Polyantha Rose 

 with exceptionally large flowers for this type, always a mass of 

 bloom throughout the season, color flesh pink with salmon and 

 yellow shadings, very effective as a bedder. 



Gruss an Teplitz. This is a Rose for everybody, succeeding 

 under the most ordinary conditions. In color it is of the richest 

 Price. Any of the above strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each 



scarlet, shading to a velvety crimson; very fragrant, a free, 

 strong grower and in bloom all the time. 



Hermosa. Less than twenty years ago this was perhaps the most 

 popular bedding Rose and it still has many friends on account of 

 the freedom with which its medium sized, perfect shaped double, 

 bright pink flowers are produced, it rarely being out of bloom. 

 $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. One each of the 3 sorts for $2.00. 



TWO REMARKABLE NEW SINGLE BEDDING ROSES 



The two varieties here described of the Polyantha type are unlike all other single flowering varieties; they are of strong, vigorous 

 habit of growth, forming bushy specimens from 2 to 3 feet high which are in flower throughout the season; the flowers produced in much 

 branched trusses, are two inches or more across, and not only hold their brilliant colors without fading, but last on the plant without shed- 

 ding for a week or ten days. Splendid subjects for planting either in the mixed border or among shrubbery as individual specimens and 

 particularly valuable for massing in beds of solid color. 



Else Poulsen. A most beautiful tone of pure rose-pink. 



Kirsten Poulsen. Rich bright scarlet with golden anthers. 



Price. 



1.00 each; $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100.
