Frau Karl Druschki Roses 
Before the wonderful development of the Hybrid Tea Roses, the Hardy Hybrid 
Perpetual Rose was the most popular type for garden planting, and even now most 
of the varieties offered are grown by Rose-lovers in conjunction with the other 
sorts. The collection offered below will be found excellent. 
In pruning Hybrid Perpetuals it is advisable to cut away all weak growth, and 
if quality of bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes to within 8 or 9 inches of 
the ground, but if quantity of bloom for garden effect is desired, leave these canes 
from 2 to 3 feet high, according to their strength. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. Pure white in color, perfect in form, strong grower 
and remarkably free flowering. 
GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. One of the old favorites and piobably the best- 
known Rose in cultivation. Brilliant scarlet-crimson. 
GEORG ARENDS. Long, delicately shaped buds and deep-petaled, pointed 
blooms of soft pink in its most exquisite shade, delicately scented. 
MAGNA CHARTA. Bright pink, very large, very double flowers, suffused with 
carmine; heavily perfumed. 
MME. ALBERT BARRIER. Large, well-shaped, creamy pink flowers, beauti¬ 
fully stained with yellow at the center. The dwarf plants are almost continuously 
in bloom. 
PAUL NEYRON. Perhaps the largest of all; dark rose in color. 
ULRICH BRUNNER. A good strong grower with large, full flowers of a bright 
cherry-red. 
Any of the above, field-grown plants, 75 cts. each,

HARDY HYBRID PERPETUALS 
MISCELLANEOUS ROSES 
F. J. Grootendorst, New Hybrid Rugosa Rose 
This is a new type of Rose—a cross between Rugosa and the 
Crimson Baby Rambler. It is not a Rose that you would want to 
plant in with your bed of Hybrid Teas or Hybrid Perpetuals, but is 
valuable as an isolated specimen, in masses in a bed, in an exposed 
position, among shrubs in the shrubbery border, or for an everbloom- 
ing hedge. It is absolutely hardy and continues in bloom until late 
in fall. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100. 
PINK GROOTENDORST. Same as above, except color, which is 
pink. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100. 
Hufifonis Rose. This species, recently introduced from China, 
-—-* is unlike any other Rose. It is of a shrub-like 
habit of growth and naturally forms symmetrical bushes about 6 feet 
high, and the same in diameter. Valuable for planting in connection 
with other shrubs or as a single specimen in the garden. Its single, 
delicate yellow flowers are produced on long, arching sprays early in 
May, every branch of the previous season’s growth becoming lined 
on both sides to the very tips with the attractive flowers. 75 cts. 
each, $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100. 
ROSE Rouletti. Dwarf or Miniature Rose. A real find for 
■* edging, either for a Rose-bed or a perennial 
bed. Exceptional for rock-gardens. Makes a compact, shapely plant, 
very bushy, only about 8 inches high, with dainty, finely cut, light 
green foliage which is almost evergreen. The tiny rosette flowers, like 
dainty toy Roses, are double, soft pink in color, and less than an inch 
in diameter. Blooms from early summer until frost. It is perfectly 
hardy, having been tested in the extreme cold New England section 
where it is known to retain its foliage all winter. It was originated in 
the Swiss Alps, where it has to be robust and vigorous to stand the 
rigorous cold. It retains its soft green foliage there almost the entire 
season, and it may even be seen peeping out of the snow. Most unique 
and yet practical. There is nothing else like it. Fills a long-felt want 
for a miniature Rose for rockeries. Instead of growing tall, it branches 
in width, remaining symmetrical. $1 each, $10 per doz., $75 per 100. 
Rosa Rugosa. Stout, erect shrubs, 4 to 8 feet high, with bristly 
- thorns and rough, polished green foliage. The 
single crimson flowers are produced all summer. 75 cts. each, $7.50 
per doz., $60 per 100.

Baby Ramblers or Polyanthas 
This type of Rose forms shapely, compact, bushy specimens, most 
of the varieties growing about feet high. They begin blooming 
early in June and bear their immense trusses of small flowers until 
cut down by frost. They are fine for garden decoration, and their 
miniature flowers are excellent for cutting as well. This type of 
Rose requires no spring pruning; the flower-stems of the previous 
season need only be removed. 
Cecile Brunner (Sweetheart Rose). This Polyantha has dainty 
flowers of soft rosy pink on a rich creamy white ground. 
Orleans. A very striking variety, with large, brilliant geranium- 
red flowers, becoming suffused with rose as they mature. 
Magnifique. Dorothy-Perkins-pink. Plant produces many flowers 
on long trusses. 
Gloria Mundi. The most striking new orange-scarlet Rose and a 
wonderful color improvement on Golden Salmon and all other 
Roses of this type. It is the most brilliant orange-scarlet imaginable 
and does not fade but retains its brilliancy to the finish. The 
flowers are well formed, full, double, and borne in many-flowered, 
graceful clusters. A free and continuous bloomer. 
Price, any of the above, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100 
Moss Roses 
Moss Roses derive their name 
and beauty from the delicate 
mossy covering which surrounds 
the buds and gives the opening 
flowers a rather unique appear¬ 
ance. These Roses should be 
pruned sparingly; cut out the old 
wood and cut back the growth of 
the previous year. 
Blanche Moreau. Large; pure 
white. 
Crested Moss. Rose; beauti¬ 
fully crested. 
Henri Martin. Fine crimson; 
vigorous. 
Salet. Large, double; light rose- 
pink.
