Single Bedding Rose Else Poulsen 



Two Remarkable 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 shedding 

 for a week or ten days. Splendid subjects for planting either 

 in the mixed border or among shrubbery as individual speci- 

 mens 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. , 



$1.00 each; Sll.OO per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 



Lord Penzance's 

 Hybrid Sweetbrier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common 

 Sweet Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, 

 the foliage is deliciously scented. The flowers are of the 

 most beautiful tints, and produced in great profusion, and 

 the plants are perfectly hardy, and possess a robust vigor 

 which is quite astonishing. 



Amy Robsart. Splendid deep rose color. 



Anne of Gerstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 



Bradwardine . Clear pink of fine form. 



Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with 

 metallic lustre, the base of each petal is yellow. 



Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a 

 lovely lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes tones with a 

 most delicate pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer, 

 very sweet scented. 



Price. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. Set of 5 

 varieties for §4.50.

 variety with dainty double little flowers of perfect form pro- 

 duced 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.

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

 the popular climbing Tausendschoen, a soft tender tone of

 the season in trusses of 10 to 20 flowers each.
