Miscellaneous Roses 
These Roses do not come in any of the classes 
before listed and in planting should not be set in 
beds with the Hybrid Teas. The following varie¬ 
ties are particularly valuable in masses, hedges, 
in shrub borders, or as specimen shrubs on ac¬ 
count of their hardiness, healthiness, and their 
ability to thrive even under adverse conditions. 
Agnes. The only yellow Rugosa Hybrid, therefore a 
unique novelty. The fragrant, double, medium sized 
blossoms are borne profusely in early Summer. They 
are large, last a long time and are a beautiful shade of 
yellow. The bush is a vigorous upright grower with 
crinkly foliage. 75c. 
Austrian Copper. A vigorous growing shrub that has 
the most spectacular colored blossoms. They are an 
intense copper-red with the reverse of the petals a 
golden yellow. The blooms are about two inches across 
and are produced on short stems along the branches. 
Mature plants will be 6 to 8 ft. high. 75c. 
Austrian Yellow. Similar to its sister, Austrian Copper, 
but with its numerous 5-petaled flowers a bright yel¬ 
low. 75c. 
F. J. Grootendorst. A cross between Rosa rugosa and 
the Crimson Baby Rambler. It has the Rugosa habit 
of growth and foliage, but is in bloom from early Sum¬ 
mer until late Fall, with large trusses of fairly double, 
fringed, red flowers, resembling the Crimson Rambler in 
color and a Carnation in form. 3 to 4 ft. growth. It is 
well to remove dead stems whenever found to prevent 
infestation of borers. 75c. 
The Green Rose (Rosa semperjiorens virdijiora). There 
are so few people who have heard of a Green Rose that 
it is a distinct novelty, so you will be proud to grow 
and exhibit it to your friends. There is no doubt about 
its color; it is real green. The blossoms are produced 
abundantly and almost continuously from early Spring 
until freezing. The bush is a low, vigorous grower, about 
two feet high and not very thorny. If you want some¬ 
thing different, be suie to try one. $1.50 
Hermosa. The old-fashioned everblooming pink Rose. 
The blossoms are always the same, a soft pink with a 
lighter center. They are double, of medium size, and 
continually in bloom. The bush is a low compact grower, 
well adapted for the foreground of shrubbery. It re¬ 
quires a bank of soil around the branches for Winter 
protection. 75c. 
Hugonis. This is a species Rose from China. It grows 
gracefully about six feet high and with a spread of about 
six feet. The branches are a dark red, covered with 
small thorns, and the bright yellow flowers, which come 
out the earliest of any Rose in the Spring, are borne 
profusely along the slender branches, entirely encircling 
them. The flowers are single, about 2 in. across. It is 
dependably hardy, and the foliage is small. 75c. 
The Christmas Rose 
Startling ! Charming ! Beautiful! 
It will extend your Rose season. Our Rose season 
usually lasts 6 or 7 months, but there is no use let¬ 
ting it end around Thanksgiving. The Christmas 
Rose produces white, waxy blossoms profusely out¬ 
doors from Thanksgiving until Christmas, and then 
off and on all Winter until Spring, whenever the 
snow melts away. The Christmas Rose ( Helle - 
borus niger) is a low compact grower, about 6 inches 
high and really belongs to the rock garden or among 
the perennials, but it may also be used as a border 
for the Rose bed.

$1.00 each, 6 for $5.00 
Jennie Deans. One of the Hybrid Sweetbriers that should 
be better known. As with all Sweetbriers, the foliage is 
very fragrant, like Summer Apples, and the fragrance is 
especially strong when wet with dew or rain. The 
bushes grow large, are very thorny and should not be 
planted closer together than five feet. The color of this 
variety is a scarlet crimson and the semi-double blos¬ 
soms are of average size. 75c. 
Lady Penzance. Another Sweetbrier similar to the above, 
but this variety has marvelous copper-colored blossoms 
that make it spectacular for the shrub border. 75c. 
Lord Penzance. About the same as Lady Penzance except 
the blossoms are a fawn color; shaded salmon. 75c. 
Moss Roses. These old favorites are noted for their de¬ 
light full fragrance as well as for their attractive moss 
clotthing of the bud. Their double blossoms are pro¬ 
duced on long stems and they are vigorous hardy grow¬ 
ers. I have red, pink and white; state your choice. 75c. 
Pink Grootendorst. Just like F. J. Grootendorst except 
that it bears pretty light pink blossoms. 75c. 
Xanthina. A very spectacular shrub. The large blossoms 
are an intense yellow that is very showy and long last¬ 
ing. The variety blooms after most of the other Rose 
shrubs have quit and are a welcome addition to the list. 
Planted among purple Lilac, they make a startling com¬ 
bination. Strong growers up to five feet. 75c. 
Standard or Tree Roses 
Are available in many varieties and colors, and can be 
had in some varieties which will give almost continuous 
bloom throughout the Summer. They are especially valu¬ 
able as accent points in Rose gardens. Tree Roses must be 
protected each Winter by laying them down and covering 
them over with soil. Order by color. It is best to plant 
these in the Spring. $2.50 each; 2 for $4.50. 
An efficient economical dust gun is one of the essential tools for Rose growing. The one pictured above, which we 
highly recommend, holds about one quart of dust, has a 24-inch extension with a curved nozzle and is so constructed 
that it should last you as long as you raise Roses. It shoots the dust in a cloud so that it spreads evenly and economi¬ 
cally on all leaf surfaces and is so easy to operate that children love to work them. Any of our dusts may be left in 
the gun from one time to another without harm. $1.25 each. 
WYANT’S MASSEY DUST 
For the Control of All Rose Diseases and Chewing Insects 
This dust is composed mostly of sulphur, but it 
is many times more effective than powdered sul¬ 
phur. It is fine enough to stick to dry Rose foliage 
and is soluble so that it will stick during rains. 
Wyant’s Massey Dust is sulphur colored, but it 
does not need to be applied heavy enough to badly 
discolor the foliage and should be applied with a 
good dust gun so as to get it on the undersides of 
the leaves as well as the top surfaces. This dust 
is also often used to kill the worms on vegetables 
and perennials and to prevent the diseases on 
many other garden flowers. It is the same dust 
we use in the fields to dust our Rose bushes.
