The Famous Soupert Roses 



ALWAYS BLOOMING 



Bed of Soupert Roses. 



**Sturc[y as Oak" Rugosas 



For years we have advocated the planting of this 

 class of new and rare Roses, which are now becoming 

 so popular. They can be used in so many ways that 

 they are almost indispensable. They make sturdy, 

 compact bushes, four to six feet high, which are very 

 ornamental, owing to their dark, shiny, rich green, 

 wrinkled, leathery foliage. Free from insects and 

 disease, thrive under almost any condition and hardy 

 as an oak. Also excellent for hedges or cemetery 

 planting. Some bloom all summer, but all produce 

 in the fall the beautiful orange-red or crimson seed 

 pods. 



*S1R THOMLrVS LTPTOX — The best pure white Ru- 

 gosa Rose. Strong and vigorous; grow 4 feet high. 

 Flowers perfectly double, pure snow white. Fra- 

 grant, borne on long stems throughout the season. 

 Hardy. Fine for hedging, cemetery and park. 



*COXRAD FERDTXAND MEYER — Strong grower; 

 perfectly hardy; flowers very large; well filled. Sil- 

 very rose. Very fragrant. 



ROSA RUGOSA RUBRA — The popular hedging Rose. 

 Crimson flowers are large and single, followed by 

 glossy red berries. 



ROSA RUGOSA ALBA — Identical with the preced- 

 ing, but the flowers are white and produce yellow 

 berries. Price of Rubra and Alba, 15c each; 4 for 

 50c: two-year-old plants, 35c each, $3.50 per dozen.

 with petals widely bordered with creamy white.

 bloom the first year and will be in bloom 

 every year from early May until severe 

 freezing weather. More than once we 

 have seen them bloom in open ground 

 after a severe snowstorm. There are no 

 Roses like them; certainly none better. 

 If you try them, take our word for it, you 

 will not be disappointed.

 very best of all bedding Roses. A strong, 

 dwarf grower and a truly wonderful

 of the finest formed flowers. Full and

 compact, producing large, full, double 

 flowers in amazing profusion. Color 

 brilliant crimson. This is the original 

 variety, and it is still the first and best 

 of its class. 

 *PINK SOUPERT— Identical with Clotilde Soupert, 

 except in color of flowers, which is clear, lively 

 pink and at a distance resembles a Carnation. Has 

 the same stocky, sturdy habit of growth, blooms as 

 freely, with large, handsome flowers; same form as 

 Clotilde Soupert. 

 YELLOW SOUPERT (Mosella) — The flowers are very 

 double, and of the same camellia-like form as Clo- 

 tilde Soupert, and are produced in immense clusters; 

 buds exceedingly dainty. A strong, upright, bushy 

 grower. Color white, on beautiful, light yellow 

 ground; center chrome yellow. 

 WHITE SOUPERT (Clotilde Pfitzer)— The genuine 

 White Soupert. Identical in every way with Clo-
