Polyantha Roses 
This is a different type of bedding Rose, 2 to feet high, 
bearing relatively small flowers in huge clusters somewhat 
resembling the old-fashioned Ramblers. They bloom continuously 
throughout the season and are superb bedding subjects. 
Except where otherwise noted, dormant plants of Polyantha Roses are 
75c each; potted plants, $1.00 each. Three or more plants shipped at 
one time to one address: Dormant plants, 65c each; potted, 90c each. 
Brilliant Echo. (Western Rose Co., 1927.) Rather large, ruffled 
flowers of bright, live pink in great clusters literally covering 
the entire plant. Very showy and amenable to garden use. 
Cecile Brunner. (Mme. Ducher, 1881.) Small, beautifully 
shaped flowers of light pink with a yellow base, borne in grace¬ 
ful clusters. Sometimes called the “Sweetheart Rose.” 
Chatillon Rose. (A. Nonin, 1923.) Noted for its gigantic clusters 
of semi-double, vivid pink flowers which remain in good condi¬ 
tion for many weeks. 
Ellen Poulsen. (D. T. Poulsen, 1912.) Dwarf plants with small, 
ruffled, bright pink flowers in huge clusters. A very free-flower¬ 
ing variety much used for edging. 
Else Poulsen. (D. T. Poulsen, 1924.) A striking new variety 
which grows 3 to 4 feet high, bearing loose sprays of large, 
single flowers of sparkling pink. A splendid decorative plant. 
Golden Salmon. (W. Cutbush & Son, 1926.) Compact plants 
with broad, branching sprays of vivid scarlet-orange buds and 
flowers of the most intense and startling color. 
Gruss an Aachen. (P. Geduldig, 1909.) Dwarf plant with very 
large flowers resembling those of a Hybrid Tea. Buds are 
stained with copper but open to pale yellow and light pink 
flowers flushed with deeper tones. One of the finest dwarf 
bedding Roses in existence. 
Kirsten Poulsen. (D. T. Poulsen, 1924.) Similar to Else Poulsen 
in its erect, branching habit, 3 to 4 feet high, but the single 
flowers in big, loose sprays are vivid crimson. An extremely 
showy Rose for borders and hedges. 
SPARKLER. (G. de Ruiter, 1929.) Brilliant sparkling red, very 
little affected by outdoor weather. Plant medium size, of 
even growth, splendid for pot-culture. 
PINK GRUSS AN AACHEN. (Kluis & Koning, 1929.) A deep 
rose-colored sport from the famous Gruss an Aachen, which 
it resembles in habit of plant, size, and freedom of bloom. 
Much more deeply colored than the original, and a fine com¬ 
panion for it. $1.00 each. 
Yvonne Rabier. (E. Turbat & Co., 1910.) Bushy plants with 
handsome foliage and many clusters of small, compact, pure 
white, double flowers. 
Tree Roses 
Tree Roses are most successfully used in many New England 
gardens to relieve the monotony of massed Roses in low beds of 
even height. Excellent accent points are made with them and 
very beautiful avenue effects are produced by planting them in 
a double row along the garden path. They need careful pro¬ 
tection during the Winter. Described on pages 97-99. 
$3.00 each 
All Tree Roses are pot-grown, ready for delivery after May 1

Rugosa Roses and Their Hybrids 
These also are shrubs, much more vigorous than most other 
Rose bushes, and, as a rule, very spiny, with heavy, glossy, 
shining foliage. They are extremely hardy and occasionally 
bloom throughout the Summer. Those who have gardens along 
the seashore will find them useful, permanent plants in the most 
exposed locations. 
75c each; 10 for $6.50, except where otherwise noted 
Agnes. (W. Saunders, 1922.) The only good Rugosa with yellow 
flowers. The plants are relatively dwarf, and the dark gray- 
green foliage is extremely interesting. Flowers are double and 
fragrant, rich yellow in the bud and light yellow when open. 
Amelie Gravereaux. (J. Gravereaux, 1904.) A great, vigorous 
bush, with double, sweetly scented, purple-red flowers borne 
in great profusion. 
Blanc Double de Coubert. (Cochet-Cochet, 1892.) A sturdy and 
robust plant with light green foliage and hundreds of double, 
irregularly formed, pure snow-white flowers. 
Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. (Dr. F. Muller, 1900.) Huge plants 
of astonishing vigor, with soft, waxen foliage and beautifully 
shaped, pale silvery pink flowers on strong stems. Blooms 
have the best form of those of any Rugosa. 
F. J. Grootendorst. (J. B. de Goey, 1918.) A recent and distinct 
development. Plants are bushy, hardy, and heavily branched, 
bearing clusters of small, fringed, bright scarlet flowers through¬ 
out the entire season. Splendid hedging plant. 
Pink Grootendorst. (F. J. Grootendorst & Son, 1923.) Exactly 
like F. J. Grootendorst, except that the flowers are clear flesh- 
pink. A fine companion variety. 
Sarah Van Fleet. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1926.) Strong plants, some 
achieving the stature of a medium-sized quince tree. Flowers 
are semi-double, large, brilliant rose-pink, and deliciously 
fragrant. A splendid Rugosa type. 
Rosa rugosa. (Species.) This is the original wild Rose from 
northern Japan and Siberia. The large, single, crepe-textured 
flowers are bright purple, red, crimson, pink, and rose, un¬ 
ceasingly produced throughout the entire season. A very 
handsome shrub for naturalizing as a border plant. 60c each; 
10 for $5.00. 
Rosa rugosa alba. (Species.) Charming, pure white variety of 
the same type. 60c each; 10 for $5.00. 
Vanguard. (G. A. Stevens, 1932.) A recent Rugosa hybrid which 
introduces a marvelous new color into this group of splendid 
shrub Roses. The plants are vigorous, making big, arching 
bushes with varnished foliage of great beauty, and double 
flowers of striking golden salmon-pink, paling as they open to 
bright flesh-color, tinted with yellow. A remarkable new Rose 
of great beauty. $1.00 each. 
Moss Roses 
A group of old-fashioned Roses of moderate growth, generally 
treated as bushes in out-of-the-way places in the garden, bearing 
an abundance of fragrant flowers in early Summer, each one set 
in a mossy calyx which is especially delightful in the bud. 
$1.00 each; 10 for $9.00 
Blanche Moreau. (Moreau-Robert, 1880.) Buds beautifully 
mossed; flowers double, white, tinged with pink in the center; 
very fragrant. 
Crested Moss (Chapeau de Napoleon; R. centijolia cristata). 
(Found in Friburg, Switzerland, 1827.) Large, fragrant, rich 
pink flowers set in a curious triangular calyx, with frilled, 
fringed, and ruffled sepals of great beauty. 
Henri Martin. (Laffay, 1863.) An excellent, bright crimson, 
semi-double flower, perhaps the best red Moss Rose now 
available. 
Rosa Hugonis 
An extremely decorative shrub Rose resembling the Austrian 
Briers in habit, producing an abundance of long, wide-spreading 
branches, each buried in a load of single, pale yellow flowers in 
very early Spring. One of the finest ornamental shrubs. Strong 
plants, 75c each; 10 for $6.50. 
New Rose, “Yellow Moss” 
(L. Walter, 1932.) New. Bud ovoid, deep yellow; flower 
of medium size, semi-double, cupped, very lasting, fragrant, 
yellow, with pink tints on edges. A real attractive yellow 
Moss. $1.50 each.
