JAPANESE ROSES (ROSA RUGOSA.) 
These make large bushes, 3 to 6 feet high, and as far through them, producing large 
fragrant flowers in great profusion, followed by seed pods of a brilliant scarlet colour, about the 
size of walnuts, which are remarkably striking and beautiful during the autumn. Partridges and 
pheasants are very partial to the seeds and pulp of this fruit, and belts of these roses should be 
planted in all game preserves. They require little pruning, and should be more generally planted 
in shrubberies. 
When six of each or more of these varieties are ordered they will be 
charged 8/- per dozen; 55 /- per 100 .
