PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. (HW. 
1916). Intense scarlet flowers of excel¬ 
lent shape and moderate size, borne in 
small trusses. Makes a brilliant display 
with its great burst of blooms in the 
spring.

rosy crimson, fragrant and freely pro¬

POINTED 
EVERBLOOMING POLYANTHUS 
Dwarf or low growing plants that bloom profusely and almost continuously, 
in clusters, from early spring to late fall. Useful and very popular for edging, low 
hedges or massing in beds. 
CHATILLON. (Poly. 1923). Bright pink, 
semi-double blooms with an illuminating 
touch of orange. The color lasts well 
and is not un-attractive when faded. 
The trusses are of gigantic size and the 
plant is both healthy and hardy. One 
of the showiest of the Polyanthus for 
bedding uses. 
GEORGE ELGER. (Poly. 1912). Lovely 
yellow buds and delicately formed flow¬ 
ers, paling with age. Graceful sprays, 
moderate growth, and continuous bloom. 
The yellowest Polyantha. 
GOLDEN SALMON. (Poly. 1926). Bright 
orange-salmon flowers in huge clusters. 
Growth is vigorous and bushy. The best 
Polyantha with a distinctly orange color. 
IDEAL. (Poly. 1922). Small, dark scar¬ 
let blooms, shaded with black, borne 
with tremendous profusion in immense 
compact clusters. Plant quite vigorous 
with rather long branches, continually 
in bloom. One of the best dark red 
Polyantha. 
ORLEANS. (Poly. 1910). Flowers small, 
fairly double, brilliant bright red with a 
whitish center. Blooms without cessa¬ 
tion in large, compact corymbs. Plant 
is very strong and healthy and one of 
the most important members of the 
Polyantha family. 
NOVELTIES, NEW AND SCARCE ROSES 
We catalog, this season, a number of interesting newer roses and novelties, 
practically all of which have grown very satisfactorily for us in the nursery rows 
for the short time we have had them under observation. The description of the var¬ 
ieties is that used by the introducer and we do not want to give the impression that 
they are all perfect roses. Some will undoubtedly fail in certain localities while they 
may be found successful in others. Owing to the fact that a great many of them 
have not been thoroughly tested throughout this section we are only able to recom¬ 
mend them to rose lovers who want to test various varieties in their own gardens 
and with the information that most of them are extremely gorgeous in colors not seen 
in the older varieties of roses.
