HORTICULTURAL SPECIALIST 
7 
Mme. Albert Barbier. (Barbier & Co.) A grand 
variety of recent introduction, white with a deli¬ 
cate flush of pink, of dwarfer habit than its seed 
parent, Frau Karl Druschki. 
Magna Charta. (William Paul & Son, 1876.) Bright 
pink suffused carmine, sweet scented, hardy and 
robust. Much used for forcing. 
Mrs. John Laing. (Bennett, 1887.) Immensely popu¬ 
lar, blooms just as freely as the Hybrid Teas. 
Large, clear pink flowers, freely produced and 
shoots are thornless. 
Paul Neyron. (Levet, 1869.) Enormous flowers, dark 
lilac rose in color, very fragrant. 
Peony of Fragrance. See Novelties, $1.00 each. 
Prince Camille de Rohan. (Eugene Verdier, 1861.) 
This darkest of all the H. P. roses is still indis¬ 
pensable. The color is dark crimson, shaded 
maroon with a gracious fragrance. Given some 
shade the beautiful flowers will not burn. 
S. M. Gustave V. (Nabonnaud, 1928.) An ever 
blooming hybrid perpetual, lovely pink color, vig¬ 
orous, fully double flowers and very fragrant. 
Prices of all Hybrid Perpetual roses except novel¬ 
ties 60 cents each, $6.00 dozen, $50.00 per 100'. Six 
at dozen and 25 and 50 at 100 rate. 
POLYANTHA OR “BABY RAMBLER” 
ROSES 
The Polyantha roses are very persistent bloom¬ 
ers, being of dwarf or moderate habit, they are 
admirable for bedding and mass effects. While some¬ 
times used as edgings for beds of Hybrid Teas they 
are much better used alone. 
Anne Poulsen. See Novelties, $1.25 each. 
Chatillon Rose. (August Nonin, 1923.) Bright pink 
semi-double flowers, shaded orange, a very pro¬ 
fuse bloomer. 
Ellen Poulsen. (D. L. Poulsen, 1912.) Large com¬ 
pact trusses of bright rose flowers very abun¬ 
dantly produced, plants rarely exceed 18 inches 
in height. 
Else Poulsen. A beautiful tone of pure rose pink, 
large flowers very freely produced, grows 24-30 
inches in height. 
Golden Salmon. (William Cutbush & Son, 1926.) 
This beautiful variety has caused something of a 
sensation. The color is novel, being brilliant gold¬ 
en orange scarlet, always flowering. 
Gruss an Aachen. Different from all other Polyan- 
thas on account of the remarkable size of the 
flowers which are often mistaken for Hybrid 
Teas. Buds are orange red and yellow, when fully 
open the very double flowers are a charming com¬ 
bination of light pink and salmon yellow. A won¬ 
derful fall bloomer. 
Kirsten Poulsen. A grand companion to Else Poul¬ 
sen of same height but the large single flowers 
are bright scarlet with remarkable lasting prop¬ 
erties. 
Lady Reading. The habit is similar to that of 
Ellen Poulsen but the flowers are bright red and 
possess some fragrance. 
Mme. Cecile Brunner. (Ducher, 1881.) Popularly 
known as the “Sweetheart Rose,” delightful for 
boutonnieres.
