AGAWAM, MASS. 
Mme. Staechelin. Of recent introduction. 
Buds crimson, opening into very large, fragrant 
blooms of pale pink. An excellent cut flower 
variety. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Medium-size flowers 
of brilliant, dazzling scarlet, very beautiful and 
holding color to the end, whether on the bush or 
as a cut flower. Begins very early and has a 
long period of bloom. 
Primrose. New; canary yellow and said to 
hold its color when fully open. Claimed to be 
the best yellow climber. We would not plant 
this in a very exposed location. 
DWARF POLYANTHA OR BABY 
RAMBLER ROSES 
Roses of this class make dwarf, bushy plants 
that, with proper care, bloom abundantly from 
June until stopped by heavy frost. The flowers 
are individually small, produced in large clus¬ 
ters, and are especially desirable for bedding pur¬ 
poses. 
Chatillon. Clear pink, semi-double flowers 
in huge clusters. One of the best. 
Ideal. Deep scarlet red; small flowers in 
large clusters. 
Katherine Zeimet. Pure white, double, 
slightly fragrant flowers in large, loose clusters. 
One of the best. 
Lady Reading. Bright, light red, in large 
clusters, slightly perfumed. 
RUGOSA AND RUGOSA HYBRID ROSES 
These are of Japanese origin and are noted 
for their hardiness and vigorous growth to¬ 
gether with their comparative freedom from 
insects and disease. Most of them are quite 
thorny. 
Conrad F. Meyer. Beautiful silvery rose, 
fragrant flowers, very early, and with scattered 
blossoms later in the summer. A very strong 
grower and should be given plenty of room. 
F. J. Grootendorst. A cross between Rosa 
Rugosa and Baby Rambler. Flowers are small, 
fringed, bright red, in clusters, produced until 
frost. The plant is bushy and strong growing 
with handsome dark green foliage and very 
hardy. 
Pink Grootendorst. Like the above, except 
the color is shell pink and the flowers a little 
larger. 
Both the Grootendorst roses are excellent to 
use in shrubbery borders to furnish bloom in 
late summer and early fall. 
Rugosa, Red. Single light red or pink flow¬ 
ers from June till September, followed by large, 
showy berries of rosy red. Bush of large size 
with handsome dark green foliage, seldom 
troubled by insect attacks. Valuable for 
groups and hedges. 
Rugosa, White. A variety with pure white 
flowers. 
MISCELLANEOUS ROSES 
Crested Moss. Beautiful deep pink buds 
covered with an abundance of moss. Fragrant; 
blooms in June only. 
Harrison’s Yellow. Semi-double, bright yel¬ 
low, fragrant flowers, covering the large bushes 
early in the season. A vigorous grower. 
Persian Yellow. Medium size, double, 
bright yellow flowers early in June. Hardy 
and desirable. 
Rosa Hugonis. A very hardy variety which 
grows in a bushy, shrub-like form to a height of 
about six feet. The slender, drooping branches 
are covered very early in the summer with a 
mass of single light yellow roses about 1 V 2 inches 
across, making a beautiful mound of bloom. 
Valuable also for its small, handsome foliage as 
well as for its flowers.
