The True “Rosa Multiflora Nana Perpetua” (Fairy Roses) |

Two ami Three Years Olcl 
(I losa Multiflora nana Perpetua). 
T HIS is the true, New Hardy Hybrid Perpetual, Ever-Blooming 
Rose, which will surely blossom in 60 days. I have a photograph 
of a plant in flower clays from sowing the seed. This variety 
is entirely new and very expensive, and must not he confounded with 
seed sold as “ Polyantha ” or “ Multiflora,” which simply means 
“ many flowered ” and will not bloom under four to six months, and 
altogether inferior in every way. These roses are a wonderful freak of 
nature. These sturdy little Midgets start to flower in babyhood 
two months from seed. They flower on little shoots 3 inches 
high. With age the flowers increase in size and number, until large 
trusses of bloom cover the plant from spring until frost, when the 
flower trusses are closely followed by clusters of bright red hips or seed 
pods. They are hardy and live from year to year, increasing 
in heauty and perfection eacli year. The flowers come double, 
semi-double, in many colors, white, pink and crimson. 
Packet 3 capsules (20 seeds) with “ Jadoo” for sowing, 15 cents. 
Packet Polyantha or Multiflora Rose Seed (50 seeds) 3 cents. 
Pull directions with every order.
