THE Polyanthas are a lovely and distinct class of Ever- 

 blo' niing Roses, distinguished by their dwarf, bushy 

 habitof growth, medium size and very double flowers, 

 which are delightfully fragrant, and are borne in large 

 flusters and masses, frequently seeming to cover the -vvhoJe 

 I laut with a sheet of bloom. They are good, vigorous growers 

 and constant and most profuse bloomers, very pretty and 

 liL'hly recommended for general planting, also for edges and 

 borders to buds of the larger growing varieties. Will survive 

 the Winter in favorable situations, with usual protection.

Minneapolis, Minn., May 18, 1906 

 Gentlemen ; — The Roses and Dahlias which I ordered 

 from you arrived last week, all in good condition. Two of 

 the Roses had several buds, and the buds are opening right 

 up, greatly to my surprise, as if the plants had not been 

 transplanted. Not a leaf on the plants was wilted on their 

 arrival and they are all doing nicelj'. Manj' thanks for the 

 extra Rose which you sent, and for your kind attention to 

 mj' order. Very truly yours, Henry N, Knott. 



The Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous grower, perfectly hardy 

 and therefore justly esteemed as very desirable foroutdooi 

 culture in open ground. Most varieties bloom but once in 

 the season, and usually not the first year, but the flowers and 

 buds are very large and handsome. Moss Roses like rich 

 eround. Like the Hybrid Perpetuals, they are highly valued 

 because of their permanency.

 jrear-oJd plauts, 35 cts. each. ; $3.50 per dozen.

Two New Superb Rambler Roses 



PSYCHE 



This variety will rank with Crimson Rambler, and in- 

 deed of its color it has no superior. The flowers are very 

 double, from 2 to 2>^ inches across, and are produced in 

 clusters 8 to 35 each. The color is white suffused with 

 salmon-rose and pink ; base of petals yellow. It has 

 proven hardy with us, and is a Rose that should be 

 planted as freely as Crimson Rambler. It is a strong 

 climber, making a growth of 10 to 15 feet in a single sea- 

 son. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. Two-year-old plants, 

 35 cts. each. 



HELENE 



This Rose is offered in some catalogues as a better 

 variety than Crimson Rambler, While thoroughly distinct 

 and worthy of praise, it lacks in color, which is soft 

 violet-rose; base of petals yellowish-white, while the 

 anthers and pistils are pure yellow, giving the flowers 

 a pleasing appearance. The buds are carmine, finely 

 massed, and are borne 20 to 50 in a cluster. A strong 

 climbing Rose, perfectly hardy, and Avith the exception 

 of the color of flowers strongly resembles Crimson 

 Rambler. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. Two-year-old 

 plants, 35 cts. each.
