(Dwarf Everblooming Roses) 
Tlie most truly everblooming of all 
Roses. They are practically never 
out of flower during the entire season. 
Border your flower beds or garden 
walks with these delightful Roses 
and have a continuous mass of bloom 
from early spring until after frost. 
The growth is rapid and symmetrical, 
although dwarf in size, with an aver¬ 
age height of less than 18 inches, 
which makes a most desirable combi¬ 
nation for edgings and borders; un¬ 
surpassed for cemetery planting. Be¬

and continuous bloomers, they are 
taking the place of Geraniums and 
other bedding plants, for once planted 
they are there to stay and increase in beauty yearly.

miniature tea roses. Exquisite for cutting. Makes a magnificent show in the open 
ground, always blooming from early spring until late fall. The tips of the petals

and gold, finally into deep old gold, a combination extraordinary and pleasing.

Hardy Eskimo Beauty Roses 
The Rugosa roses and their Hybrids, commonly known as the Eskimo Beauties, are the 
hardiest race of roses in cultivation. They are not only suited to the coldest Northern 
States, but do equally as well in the South and West; in the mountains and at the: sea 
shore; in fact they will grow most anywhere, requiring no care or protection and will 
adapt themselves perfectly in rough places and neglected corners of your yard. They are 
valuable for their resistance to insects, disease, blight, etc., and their ability to thrive 
under all sorts of adverse conditions, withstanding almost anything except prolonged 
drought or excessive moisture. 
They make dense compact shrubs 4 to 6 feet in height and are very useful as well as 
ornamental both as specimen plants and in the shrubbery border. They are the most 
dependable of all roses and should be liberally planted. 
A severe pruning immediately following the spring blooming period will bring an 
abundance of bloom through late summer and fall. 
AMELIE GRAVEREAUX. Large, full dou¬ 
ble, carmine-red flowers changing to “Ameri¬ 
can Beauty" red as the blooms develop. A
