PRAIRIE, ROSES 
Baltimore Belle. White. One of the most attrac- 
tive and satisfactory of the old-fashioned climb- 
ing Roses. A strong plant bearing large clusters 
of white flowers and delicate pink buds. 
Queen of the Prairies. A companion to the above, 
with large, bright rose-colored blossoms. 
Setigera. This is the parent of Baltimore Belle and 
Queen of the Prairies. It is a rampant grower, 
with luxuriant foliage and clusters of single 
bright pink blossoms in July. It is effective 
planted among large shrubs. On a pergola or 
trellis, to form the background of a flower gar- 
den, it makes a solid bank of Roses, 15 feet 
high. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER 
This Rose has become one of the 
most popular of recent introduc- 
tions. It will send up shoots 10 to 
15 feet in a summer, the side 
branches of which are weighed 
down with immense clusters of 
blossoms. These are semi-double, 
of the brightest crimson color and 
remain fresh for a long time. The 
foliage is a rich glossy green. 
ROSA RUQOSA 
Japanese Rose 
This species has introduced a 
new type into American horticul- 
ture, and, like many of its com- 
patriots from Japan, grows with the 
greatest luxuriance and vigor. Its 
extensive use at Newport, where it 
ROSA RUGOSA, continued 
succeeded after the failure of many 
other kinds of foliage, due to the 
caustic action of the salt air, has. 
led to its general use for seaside 
planting. It is a most desirable 
shrub for groups and hedges. The 
thick, shining foliage is free from 
insect and mildew attacks. Large, 
single, rose-pink flowers borne in 
clusters during the summer are 
followed in autumn by large, bright 
red hips resembling crab-apples. 
We offer this at low rates by the 
hundred, for hedges, seaside and. 
cover planting. 
R. rugosa alba. Single white 
flowers. 
Belle Poitevine. Foliage like the 
species and large double rose, 
flowers. 
Blanc Double de Coubert. A valu- 
able acquisition to this race, for 
it combines the foliage of the 
species, with a pure white double 
flower 4 to 5 inches in diameter. 
Madame Georges Bruant. This is a hybrid of Rosa 
rugosa. The long-pointed buds are creamy white 
and as delicately beautiful as a Tea Rose. It 
flowers freely in June and later in the summer. 
The foliage is slightly liable to mildew in damp 
weather. 
SWEXTBRILR. Rosa rubiginosa 
English Sweetbrier, or Eglantine, is an old-time 
favorite, with a profusion of delicate pink blossoms. 
The tender new shoots have a spicy fragrance 
that perfumes the air in damp weather. It is 
perfectly hardy, and very vigorous in growth. A 
good hedge plant.
