THE DINCEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



3S£ Polyantha 



or Fairy Roses* 



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 

 planting, also for edges and borders to beds of the 

 larger growing varieties. They are not entirely 

 hardy, but will often survive the Winter in favor- 

 able situations, with usual protection.

Moss and Perpetual 

 Moss Roses/ 



The Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous grower, 

 perfectly hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as 

 very desirable for outdoor 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 ground. Like the Hybrid Perpetuals they 

 are highly valued because of their permanency.
