THE DIMGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



THE 



Polyantha or^^ 

 Fairy ^oses. 



The Polyanthas are a lovely and distinct class 

 of Ever-blooming Roses, distinguished by their 

 dwarf, bushy habit of growth, medium size and 

 very double flowers, which are delightfully fra- 

 grant and are borne in large clusters and masses, 

 frequently seeming to cover the whole plant with 

 a sheet of bloom. They are good, vigorous grow- 

 ers and constant and most profuse bloomers, very 

 pretty and highly recommended for general plant- 

 ing, also for edges and borders to beds of the larger 

 growing varieties. They are not entirely hardy, 

 but will often survive the Winter in favorable 

 situations, with usual protection.
