HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES— Continued 
Paul Neyron. This colossal Rose is the pride of many garden en¬ 
thusiasts. It attains enormous proportions in spite of lack of pains¬ 
taking care, responding with long, almost thornless stems and 
deep rose-colored blooms. It is one of the commonest Roses grown 
to supplant the ever popular but unproductive American Beauty. 
It is slightly fragrant. 50c. 
Ulrich Brunner. Some describe this variety as being cerise, others 
as being a cherry-red, but all unite in calling the color cheerful 
and altogether pleasing. Its petals are of great substance and the 
blooms are lasting. Very fragrant. The plants are vigorous, tall 
growing with few thorns. 50c. 
The Polyantha Roses 
These are the Baby Ramblers or true everblooming 
Roses. They have clusters of flowers like the climbing 
ramblers, but are low growing, seldom exceeding 18 inches 
in height, and they are continually in bloom. The Poly- 
anthas require little or no Winter protection and only 
pruning enough to keep them shapely or to remove dead 
twigs. 
Cecile Brunner {Sweetheart ). No Polyantha Rose is as well known 
or has such exquisite buds as this pretty little baby. The charming 
little buds of seashell-pink are just right for boutonnieres. 75c. 
Eblouissant. A very dazzling velvety dark red variety that does 
not “blue” with age. It is a good grower and produces large 
panicles of very double blooms continuously all season. The open 
flowers aie a unique cactus shape. Hardy but slightly subject to 
black-spot. 50c. 
Elsie Poulsen. A decided departure from the old type of Polyantha 
Roses. The growth is tall, vigorous and robust; the bushes have 
an average height of 3 to 4 ft. The open blossoms are about 2 
inches across and are borne in large clusters on long stems. 50c. 
Gloria Mundi. The newest and most spectacular of the Polyanthas. 
The large clusters are on the order of but more brilliant and strik¬ 
ing than Golden Salmon. The sensational blossoms are a glowing 
orange-scarlet and the orange tone lasts well even in hot weather. 
Very satisfactory for use in rock gardens as well as for edging. 50c. 
Greta Kluis. A low, compact grower bearing a large quantity of 
small, globular flowers in clusters. The blossoms resemble apple 
blossoms with delicate shell-pink color and crimson markings. 50c. 
Gruss an Aachen. This variety is a cross between a Polyantha and a 
Hybrid Tea. It blooms as much as the Polyanthas, but has flowers 
the size of the Hybrid Teas. They are whitish, with a tint of apricot 
or rose in the center petals. A superb variety for effective massing 
in beds or edging taller varieties. 50c. 
Ideal. One of the most profuse bloomers of all the Polyanthas. 
The small, rich garnet-red flowers are borne continuously in large 
clusters on rather long stems. 50c. 
Kirsten Poulsen. A sister of Elsie Poulsen, and like it in size of 
bush and blossom and habit of growth. The blooms, large com¬ 
pared to the old type of Polyanthas, are a bright scarlet, showy 
and lasting. 50c. 
Lafayette. A medium sized bush, but the flowers are large like the 
Poulsens. The striking light crimson blossoms are produced in 
great freedom and are very showy throughout the Summer. 
Illustrated on page 18. 50c. 
Magnifique. The large semi-double cupped flowers are similar to 
Dorothy Perkins in color but smaller in size. The growth is vigor¬ 
ous and the plants are of average size. 50c. 
Orange King. The color is very different. The small double blos¬ 
soms come out a bright coral or deep salmon and as they mature 
change to an unusual straw color. 50c. 
Suzanne Miller. The brilliant crimson flowers are borne in unusually 
large clusters on a very strong growing bush. Of an attractive 
shade, more double than most Baby Ramblers, and can be counted 
upon to provide bright color from early Spring until frost. 50c. 
Suzanne Turbat. The delicate coral-pink blooms make this a 
unique variety among the Baby Ramblers. It is a good dwarf 
grower, more dwarf than most Polyanthas, reaching a height of 
only 12 inches, and bears its clusters of 10 to 20 double blooms 
all season. Slight fragrance; very dainty and beautiful. A fine 
low grower for rock gardens. 75c. 
Verdun. The growth of this deep carmine-red variety is very 
vigorous and the flowers are quite large, double and lasting. 50c.
