32 ROSES— (Continued.) 
State Nursery and Seed Co. 
Baby Ramblers 
These Roses all are splendid plants for growing in pots 
for home decoration. Give them ail the sun possible in the 
suminep with good soil and drainage. They rarely grow 
over 20 inches in height, are continuously in bloom and 
as a class are very hardy. 
X Crimson Baby Ranibler— (P.) (Madam Norbert Levtis- 
.seur.)— A dwarf form of the Crimson Rambler, with the 
same ruby-red clusters of bloom. Always in flower 
through the enlire summer, and if potted before frost 
will continue througli the winter in the house. 
X White Baby Rambler— (P.) (Catlierine Zeimet.)— Pure 
snow-while blooms in profuse clusters, forming a sheet 
of white when used for bedding purposes. Everbloom- 
Ing and an ideal Hose for pot culture. 
X Pink Baby Rambler— (P.) (Phyllis.)— A bright carmine- 
pink of very bushy habit producing beautiful panicles 
of bloon\ the whole sunmier. Unequaled as a decorative 
pot plant at any season. 
X IWIle. Cecile Brunner— (P.)— Often called the Fairy, or 
Sweetheart Rose. Produces graceful sprays of perfectly 
formed small flowers, very double, of a soft rosy-pink, 
on a rich creamy-white background. A splendid variety 
for cut flowers. 
George Elger — (P.) — Also known as the yellow Mile. 
Cecile lirunner. The color of the bloom is a dainty cop- 
pery golden-yellow, opening to a clear deep yellow; 
borne in large corymbs. A very erect habit of growth, 
with dark green foliage. 
AUSTRIAN, OR BRIAR ROSES. 
Harrison Yellow — (A.)— A fine hardy Rose of double free 
flowering proclivities. The Austrian or Briar Hose type 
as a rule do not require much pruning, only to remove 
the dead and superfluous wood. They are extremely 
hardy. Each 75c 
Persian Yellow — (A.) — A large and very fine single Rose, 
deep golden yellow, very hardy and very floriferous. 
Each 75c 
Harrison Yellow. 
RUGOSA ROSES. 
Hansa — (R.) — This is one of the most desirable of the type 
with double reddish-violet flowers, produced in profu- 
sion during the entire summer. Thev are followed by 
brilliant red seed pods making the plants as attractive 
in the fall and winter as in the summer. This type is 
not only valuable as a single specimen, but is even more 
so when planted for the purpose of a strong and won- 
derfully decorative hedge, for which purpose it cannot 
be recommended too highly. This type also requires but 
little attention in the way of pruning, and is extremely 
hardy. We confidently predict for this Roye an enor- 
mous sale for ornamental hedges in this section. For 
hedges plant about two fert apart. It is no exaggeration 
to say that this Rose will make a hedge that is absolutely 
inmpenetrable, even to a rabbit. 
Each, 75c; per dozen $6.00
