O'Ld.-^Tashloned. J0.O5Q5 
Under this heading we have grouped the Moss Roses, the Cabbage Roses, the Damask Roses, 
the Fairy Roses, and the French Roses, which are, in many cases, the parents of our modern Roses. 
Many are almost forgotten, but a feeling of loss has crept into the consciousness of all who love 
Roses. Friends of this firm have known for a long time of our interest in Old-fashioned Roses. We 
have not propagated these Roses extensively, but we have a sufficient number to supply the collecting 
interest. We herewith offer the most popular and also finest varieties, but can supply many other 
varieties which are listed in our special booklet, Old-fashioned Roses, mailed free upon request. 
The French Rose • Rosa gallica 
Nobody knows when the French Rose was first brought into gardens. It is a native of all Europe. 
The outstanding characteristic of this group of Roses is their tendency to produce striped, mottled, and 
spotted flowers. The old authorities tell us that the French Roses should be thinned out in the spring 
and that the shoots should be pruned back to four or five eyes in order to obtain the finest flowers. 
These French Roses are $2.50 each, $20 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted. 
Varieties priced at $1 each are $9 for 10 of any one variety
