POLYANTHA KOSES 
This charming class is from Japan and 
of recent introduction. The foliage and 
flowers are very small, the latter being 
produced in clusters. They are of slender 
growth and produce extremely beautiful 
little flowers. They are quite as hardy as 
many well known varieties that are con- 
sidered perfectly hardy. We offer four. 
Cecil Brunner— Salmon pink, deep scar- 
let center. Very small flower, deli- 
cately scented. 
Clothilde Soupert — Medium sized, very 
double, produced in clusters; pearly 
white, with rose lake center, some- 
times producing red and white flow- 
ers on same plant. Considered one 
of the best, if not the best of its 
class.

TREE ROSES 
These are top-grafted or 
budded upon strong grow- 
ing wild stocks at a dis- 
tance of 3% to 4 Y 2 feet 
from the ground. They thus 
form tree-shaped plants, 
nicely headed, and with 
proper care they are very 
desirable. We offer them 
in all colors. 
Crimson Rambler Tree Rose 
The beauty and vigor 
of this remarkable rose 
is now well known 
from ocean to ocean, 
but grown as a tree, it 
is a novelty sure to be- 
come even more popu- 
lar than in bush form. 
Its great vigor and 
hardiness make it espe- 
cially adapted for this 
form of growth.
