Polyantha Roses 



These, sometimes called Fairie Roses, are the most 

 truly everblooming of all roses — they are prac^tically 

 I never out of flower during the entire season. Dwarf in 

 ( size, with an average height of less than 18 inches, com- 

 pact growth, great hardiness, beautiful, well-formed 

 blooms wliich last well on the bush, make this class 

 indispensable for edging, massing, and mingling with 

 other flowers. The class covers a wide range of forms, 

 sizes and colors, so the individual taste may be satisfied. 

 They are rapidly growing in popularity because beauty in 

 miniature is always appreciated. 



A conspicuous group is composed of the Baby Rara- 



1 biers, so called because of the resemblance, in dwarf, to 



i the ramblers, with blooms produced in large, many 



flowered clusters, and growth hardly 12 inches in height.
