HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
I This is a class of the hardier perpetuals or 
cv^rblooming Roses, as a rule the flowers running 
li'rger than the Hybrid Teas. You can not make 
:r’‘mistake in purchasing either the Hybrid 
Pj^rpetuals or the Hybrid Teas. If given proper 
mhter protection, they are hardy anywhere in 
South Dakota. 
American Beauty—Generally conceded to 
be the most grandly beautiful Rose in size, 
form, and color. Rich red, passing to crimson, 
very delicately veined and shaded and sur¬ 
passingly fragrant. 
Frau Karl Druschki—This brilliant white 
type Rose has become renowned as the very 
highest type of its class and the best snow-white 
Rose ever introduced. It is an extraordinarily 
strong grower, branching freely, and has the 
vigor and hardiness of an oak. Large, heavy 
foliage and magnificent flowers that are pro¬ 
duced with great freedom on long, stiff stems. 
The color is marvelously white, without a tinge 
of yellow or any other shade. Hardy everywhere. 
General Jacqueminot—A rich, velvety 
crimson, changing to a dark scarlet crimson, 
sometimes called the Black Rose. This is the 
best known of all Hybrid Perpetuals, and is 
without rival in fragrance and richness of color. 
.\n old favorite and one of the best known Roses 
in cultivation. 
Gurney’s Pink Neyron—One of the finest 
hardy Roses ever grown. It blooms unceasingly 
from June to November, on uniformly long, stiff, 
thornless stems, cup-shaped flowers 4 to 6 
inches across. Color is a bright ruddy pink. 
HYBRID TEA ROSES 
The Hybrid Teas are a class of everblooming 
Roses. They produce wonderful shades of 
Roses continually from June until freezing. For 
best results. Hybrid Tea Roses should be 
severely pruned. All Roses offered, two-year 
heavy. 
Red 
Gruss an Teplitz or Virginia R. Goxe— 
Hardy in all sections; grows freely to a height of 
four to five feet; vivid, dazzling, fiery crimson, 
rweetly fragrant; produces a mass of gorgeous 
blooms on long stems. 
Hadley—Deep, rich velvety crimson, retaining 
its brilliancy throughout the year. Well formed 
buds and large double flowers on rapid growing, 
long and stiff stems; prolific during all seasons 
with a fragrance excelled only by American 
Beauty. 
Gurney’s Red Radiance—Produces large 
flowers throughout the most unfavorable hot 
summer weather; in color a clear, cerise-red, a 
most valuable addition to our list of Roses. 
Pink 
Jonkeer J. L. Mock—Flowers are produced 
\<jth a great freedom on long, stiff stems, are 
large and of perfect form, of a deep imperial 
pink, the outside of the petals silvery-rose white. 
Mme. Caroline Testout—The “grand old 
lady” of Rosedom, and a general favorite every¬ 
where. The flowers are of brilliant satiny rose, 
deepening at center and bordered with silvery- 
rose; immense broad petals and extremely large. 
Extremely hardy. 
Pink Radiance—A brilliant rosy-carmine, 
displajflng beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints 
in the open flower. 
White 
K. Augusta Victoria—White shading to 
primrose, a fine Rose for outside; very vigorous, 
producing flowers throughout the season. This 
should be in every garden. 
Gruss-an-Teplitz 
Yellow 
Mrs. Aaron Ward—A remarkably floriferous 
variety of strong, vigorous, but compact growth; 
the young foliage is unusually attractive, a rich 
bronzy-green color, the flowers of which are of 
splendid form, full, double and equally attractive 
when full blown as in the bud state; in color a 
distinct Indian Yellow, shading lighter towards 
the edges. 
Shadings 
Ophelia—Salmon flesh shaded rose with 
chamois center. A Rose that is lovely at every 
stage. The buds and flowers are beautifully 
formed and colored, enhanced by rich veining on 
the petals. Stems are long and carry flowers 
erect. 
Talisman—It is the most remarkable piece of 
coloring that we know in any Rose; a combina¬ 
tion of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow, and 
deep pink or old rose. The outside of the petals 
is bright yellow, gold, and pink; as the flower 
develops and the petals unfold, they become 
bright apricot, gold, deep rose-pink or old rose. 
Hugonis Roses 
BABY RAMBLER OR 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
The Baby Rambler Roses are dwarf or semi¬ 
dwarf Rose bushes producing immense quantities 
of flowers from June until frost. They are a very 
hardy class and require but little winter pro¬ 
tection to bring them through in good condition. 
We are offering the two-year heavy plants, 
dormant. 
Ellen Poulsen—Dark, brilliant pink; large, 
full, sweet-scented and very floriferous. 
Ideal—Dark velvety crimson outdoors, bril¬ 
liant scarlet under glass, a prospective Christ¬ 
mas-red Rose. Compact and bushy with glossy 
leathery leaves and shapely trusses. Orleans 
type, sport from Edith Cavell. 
Miss Edith Cavell—Color brilliant scarlet, 
overlaid with deep, velvety crimson or maroon. 
The blooms are single and come in great open 
clusters all season. The most attractive red 
Polyantha Rose in existence. 
W'hIte Baby Rambler—Pure snow-white 
double blooms in profuse clusters, making a 
sheet of white color, with a fragrance similar to 
Hyacinths. A compact, bushy grower of dwarf 
habit; foliage dark, glossy and finely cut; ever- 
blooming and hardy.

Dear Friend: 
Just a friendly chat. Want to give you a 
boost for Chinese Elm. Husband was telling 
me tonight while milking that the cows didn't 
eat the foliage of the Elms like they do of 
the Cottonwood and Willows. Never could 
start a hedge of them near the fence since 
the cattle would always ruin them. Planted 
an Elm hedge a year ago last spring. Now 
some of the trees are hanging over the fence. 
They don’t touch them. 
I said, “Are you sure? Want to tell John 
Peter.” Well, he cut some twigs from the 
Willows and Cottonwoods, gave it to them 
and they chewed them instantly. Next he 
handed the Elms, one sniff and walked away. 
Isn’t that a good boost? 
We love those trees. Have planted 200 on 
the place. Doing fine in spite of the drought. 
Also, planted the school yard. Never lost a 
one.
