TRUE ENGLISH SWEET BRIAR 



ROSA RUBIGINOSA. 



Valuable for the refreshing fragrance of its leaves. Also known as " Eglantine" 

 It is perfectly hardy; once planted, little care is necessary. It is splendid for a 

 hedge or equally good as a group on the lawn or a single specimen in the garden. 

 It does well either in the sun or shade. (.See cut.) 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2nd size, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz. 



New Hybrid Briar Rose, JULIET. 



A wonderful hybrid Rose of most attractive coloring. ~ The distinctive charac- 

 ter is found in the two distinct colors in the flowers the interior being reddish- 

 orange, the exterior being old gold. 



Juliet is one of the most distinct Roses sent out in a generation, the unique 

 coloring is not found in any other Rose in cultivation. In addition the flower 

 possesses a beautiful form, extra large and full, and a delightful fragrance. 

 Another charming quality is the refreshing fragrance of the young foliage. It 

 is one of the most pleasing novelties amongst Roses, and is sure to become a pop- 

 ular variety. Price, strong imported plants, $1.50 each. 



Our Third Size Roses are grown in three 

 Inch pots. They are superior to the young 

 Roses from 2 inch pots usually sent out be- 

 cause the larger pot gives ample room for 

 root action and allows the plant to grow 

 naturally. They are sturdy and compact 

 and when sent by express with the soil on 

 the roots transplanting scarcely checks their 

 growth. In the cut above we show a fair 

 sample of a two inch pot plant as usually 

 sent out by the mail trade and a fair sample 

 taken from our stock growing in a 3 inch pot.
