Rose Hedges 



are certainly coming to be more and more popular as people learn 

 about the splendid qualities of the Rugosa Roses for this purpose. 

 They make neat, compact, uniform growth, and the thick, bushy 

 mass of glossy, crinkled foliage gives a particularly fine appearance. 



They are perfectly hardy in the coldest winters and are especially 

 valuable because the foliage is never troubled with either insects 

 or disease. 



In warmer countries, or even in our own latitude, a single row of a 

 free-flowering, erect, bushy Rose is sure to be pretty and very satis- 

 factory where one wishes to simply mark a boundary, as, for example, 

 between the vegetable- and flowTr-garden. For this purpose, Gruss 

 an Aachen, see page 22, is excellent. The small-flowered Polyanthas 

 are also popular, especially Baby Rambler and Marie Pavie (see 

 catalog), and Baby Dorothy, see page 20. The list could readily 

 be extended, and each one be well worth planting. 



Roses for the Cemetery 



For some cemeteries we recommend Roses that almost care for 

 themselves — the Wichuraiana type. They creep like ivy and make 

 a mat of shiny foliage which is green for eleven months. 



If you can care for bush Roses, select from the "Best Yet" sets, 

 according to locality — but if you want some of the sturdiest growers 

 obtainable, choose from this list — all white but one.
