 throughout the season. Splendid for autumn blooming.

''Sturdy as Oak'' Rugosas 



This class of new and rare Roses can be used in so many places 

 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. Excellent for hedges or cemetery planting.
