OLD TIME ROSES OF 
ESPECIAL MERIT 
These fine old roses have been in our 
gardens for many years, notwithstanding 
each season’s bounteous crop of wonderful 
introductions. To remain in cultivation a 
rose must have certain outstanding charac¬ 
teristics of great value and proves that no 
one could make a mistake by including them 
in their selection. Because of their strong 
constitution they may be chosen for hedge 
planting and for bedding effects, as well as 
for a continual supply of cut-flowers. 
The dates of introduction are here given 
—descriptions of the flowers will be found

furnishing sprays of beautiful blossoms for 
cutting is becoming more and more appre¬ 
ciated each year. They are very thrifty

time than any other flower we know. For 
mass effects in beds and borders they are 
unexcelled, and everyone admires their 
brilliant blossoms in floral decorations.

brilliant orange-scarlet, borne in many flowered 
graceful sprays.

anium of the same name.

rich deep scarlet. 
BABY DOLL. Snug little buds and beautifully 
shaped little flowers of lovely soft yellow tipped 
and suffused with deep rose. A sturdy little 
grower and splendid for planting in small clumps.

cot-orange in the bud, opening to apricot-yellow 
blossoms. The compact bushes are covered with 
flowers all through the season. 75e. 
PINK LA FAYETTE. The lovely semi-double 
flowers are a delightful shade of rose-pink, a col¬ 
or that is always pleasing. These sprays of blos¬ 
soms make beautiful and lasting bouquets.
