Hardy Polyantha or Baby Roses 
Baby Doll 
(Dwarf Everblooming Roses) 
The most truly everblooming of all 
Roses. They are practically never 
out of flower during the entire season. 
Border your flower beds or garden 
walks with these delightful Roses 
and have a continuous mass of bloom 
from early spring until after frost. 
The growth is rapid and symmetrical, 
although dwarf in size, with an aver¬ 
age height of less than 18 inches, 
which makes a most desirable combi¬ 
nation for edgings and borders; un¬ 
surpassed for cemetery planting. Be¬ 
ing perfectly hardy, low in growth 
and continuous bloomers, they are 
taking the place of Geraniums and 
other bedding plants, for once planted 
they are there to stay and increase in beauty yearly. 
BABY DOLL. Buds and blooms are of perfect form and finish, resembling 
miniature tea roses. Exquisite for cutting. Makes a magnificent show in the open 
ground, always blooming from early spring until late fall. The tips of the petals 
are vivid scarlet, then mellow down through shades of pink into saffron, lavender 
and gold, finally into deep old gold, a combination extraordinary and pleasing. 
ELLEN POULSEN. Dark, brilliant pink; sweet-scented. 
GLORIA MUNDI. Double, lasting flowers of glowing orange-scarlet. 
IDEAL. The brightest red Baby Rose. 
KATHERINE 2EIMET (White Baby). Pure white.

Hardy Eskimo Beauty Roses 
The Rugosa roses and their Hybrids, commonly known as the Eskimo Beauties, are the 
hardiest race of roses in cultivation. They are not only suited to the coldest Northern 
States, but do equally as well in the South and West; in the mountains and at the sea 
shore; in fact they will grow most anywhere, requiring no care or protection and will 
adapt themselves perfectly in rough places and neglected corners of your yard. They are 
valuable for their resistance to insects, disease, blight, etc., and their ability to thrive 
under all sorts of adverse conditions, withstanding almost anything except prolonged 
drought or excessive moisture. 
They make dense compact shrubs 4 to 6 feet in height and are very useful as well as 
ornamental both as specimen plants and in the shrubbery border. They are the most 
dependable of all roses and should be liberally planted. 
A severe pruning immediately following the spring blooming period will bring an 
abundance of bloom through late summer and fall. 
F. J. Grootendorst 
Amelie Gravereaux 
AM ELI E GRAVEREAUX. Large, full dou¬ 
ble, carmine-red flowers changing to “Ameri¬ 
can Beauty” red as the blooms develop. A 
new variety and one of the finest of the Hybrid 
Rugosas. The flowers are produced in profu¬ 
sion during June and again in the fall. 
BELLE POITEVINE. Full double flowers of bright rose produced in loose clusters 
and in flower continuously from June until frost. Its dense growth, good foliage, and 
extreme hardiness make it ideal for hedges. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST (Everblooming Carnation Rose). Small, bright red, double 
fringed flowers produced in large clusters resembling bouquets of red carnations. 
Blooms profusely from spring until frost. A very vigorous plant, growing to a height 
of 6 feet. When kept trimmed to a height of about 4 feet it makes a fine everblooming 
hedge. A very desirable shrub, and we consider it the most dependable rose in existence. 
PINK GROOTENDORST. A shell-pink flowered form of F. J. Grootendorst. Blooms 
throughout the season. 
SIR THOMAS LIPTON. Flowers perfectly double; pure white; very fragrant; borne 
in profusion in the spring and sparingly through the summer and fall. Extremely 
hardy. 
HUGONIS. While not of the Rugosa class, Hugonis is listed here because of its 
extreme hardiness. It 
is the first rose to 
bloom in the spring, 
producing a profusion 
of single canary-yel¬ 
low flowers closely set 
along the entire length 
of every branch. One 
of the few yellow roses 
that does not fade.
