Autumn 
Roses to make your 
New Patented Roses 
Barely 10 per cent of the Roses 
carried in northern catalogues do 
well in this section. Those we 
list here have, with a few excep¬ 
tions, been tested on our own 
grounds, and are dependable. 
As Roses, if treated as they de¬ 
serve, last for many years, they 
merit the high regard they enjoy. 
No flower is so deeply loved, and 
because of their continuance 
their cost over several years is 
not as great as that of a perennial 
border, while the satisfaction 
they give is unique.

Tried and Tested Roses 
Strong 2-yr. plants, 50 cts. each, $2.25 for 5

prolific flowering; strong grower. Foliage healthy.

“bluing” with age. Thrives everywhere and produces a fine 
lot of blooms throughout the season. 
Frau Karl Druschki (Snow Queen; White American Beauty).

masses of large, pure white (flowers in June and regularly 
during the summer. Perhaps the best white in existence.

lemon-yellow, double flowers, with slight old-rose markings.
