ROSES 
THE ROSE— "QUEEN OF FLOWERS" 
These flowers of rarest beauty, in most varied forms, and with the sweetest 
perfumes, may be had from frost to frost in one glorious succession. The hardy 
Japanese Rugosas open before the others, then the old-fashioned Persian Yellow, 
followed by a host of hybrid Perpetuals (II. P.), which make June the "Month 
of Roses." After the hybrid Perpetuals (which really are not perpetuals) come 
the hardy new race of hybrid Teas (H. T.), which have the hardiness of the hybrid 
Perpetuals and the refined, fragrant, and delicate beauty of the Teas. Most won- 
derful of all, they possess the Teas' habit of blooming freely and continuouslj' 
throughout the summer and autumn. Such loveliness repays many times over 
your care in cidtivation and in providing deep, fertile, well-drained beds. They 
require a sunny, sheltered spot, away from the roots of shade trees which would 
rob them of much needed fertility. 
ANNIE MULLER (Pol. H.) Brilliant, shining pink flowers, medium size (twice 
(Bolder and bedding Rose) as large as Baby Rambler). The bush is spreading, 
a larger, stronger grower and more attractive than the Baby Rambler. It is a 
constant and profuse bloon.er all summer long. The old flowers drop off without 
detracting from the appearance of the bush. It is the ideal "Baby" Rose for bor- 
ders and beds. Can be transplanted to a pot in the fall and taken in the house, 
where it will continue to bloom all winter, a cheery bit of red and green. Prune 
lightly in late winter or early spring. An improved Baby Rambler — superior in 
every way. Hardy. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN Wonderful bright scarlet Rose. The blooms are borne 
BEAUTY (H. T.) singly and are suitable for cutting. Resembles its 
American Beauty parent in form and color and its Wichuriana parent in hardiness, 
vigor, and resistance to diseases. Large quantities of bloom, three inches across, 
are borne in June, and occasional flowers throughout the season. Most beautiful 
climbing Rose; hardy, stands heat and drouth; foliage does not burn in the sun. 
Prune in late winter or early spring, cutting out old or weakened canes.
