Hedge of Polyantha Roses 
POLYANTHAS OR BABY RAMBLERS 
A very useful type that is becoming popular for 
massing or bedding purposes, forming compact, shapely 
plants and flowering profusely throughout the season. 
Splendid for low, colorful edging or for foreground 
planting among shrubs. The old flower-trusses should 
be removed as soon as mature and an average planting 
space of 15 inches allowed. All offered here are hardy. 
60 cts. each, $6 per doz., unless otherwise noted 
Chatillon Rose. Double, bright pink flowers, shading 
to rose-crimson, borne in immense sprays that are 
not unattractive, even when fading. Vigorous habit. 
Ellen Poulsen. Bright rose-pink flowers, fairly double 
and large for this type. Compact habit. The best 
true pink variety. 
Else Poulsen. Lovely single flowers of a pure rose-pink 
shade, carried in clusters throughout the season. 
75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
Erna Teschendorff. Bright red, semi-double flowers in 
good-sized clusters. Dwarf habit and very free. 
Gloria Mundi. (New). A most striking orange-scarlet 
and a decided improvement over all Rases of this 
type. The flowers are quite double, well formed, 
carried in good-sized trusses almost continuously 
throughout the season. 
Gruss an Aachen. Properly a Bourbon Hybrid. A most 
attractive clean-growing Rose with large flowers. 
Always a mass of bloom and particularly desirable 
for bordering. Flesh-pink, with salmon and yellow 
shadings. 
Ideal. Medium-sized, double, dark velvety crimson 
flowers in large trusses and very lasting in quality. 
Flowers abundantly. 
Kirsten Poulsen. A vivid scarlet, single Rose, similar 
in habit to the above. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
Miss Edith Cavell. Vivid scarlet-red with deeper crim¬ 
son shadings. Strong, sturdy plant. One of the best. 
Orleans Rose. Brilliant geranium-red with white 
center, shading to rose as the flowers mature. 
Yvonne Rabier. The white varieties of the Polyantha 
type are not as satisfactory as the pink or red colors. 
This is the clearest white.
