ROSES 
The Rose has been aptly termed the "Queen of Flowers.’’ Among all the flowering shrubs, 
there is nothing that can compare with the rose. The great variety of color, shape and size of 
flowers, the diversity and character of the foliage and ravishing perfumes give it a wider range 
for decoration than any other single group of plants. When we add to these qualifications ease 
of culture, quick and ample response in blossoms, it is not to be wondered at. In nearly all 
collections of flowering and ornamental shrubs it occupies a first place.

again in the autumn. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. This cherry red rose is a 
favorite the world over. Very visorous grower. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI (White American Beauty, 
Snow Queen). Really an ever-blooming variety, 
bearing a heavy crop of blossoms in June and from 
then, every month, until frost. The long pointed, egg- 
shaped buds open loosely into blossoms of pure 
white. Perfectly hardy and prolific both North and 
South. 
GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. The favorite old 
"Jack’’ Rose, known and loved everywhere. Blos¬ 
soms of a rich, velvety crimson with large petals. 
Blooms freely and grows well anywhere. Hardy.

yellow flowers in such profusion it is a mass of color. 
One of the few absolutely hardy yellow roses. 
Blossoms in spring only.

are large and delightfully fragrant. Blooms profusely 
from June until Autumn. 
PAUL NEYRON (Peony Rose). The largest rose of all.

well shaped, double and very fragrant. Plant is erect 
in habit and a strong, heavy grower, blooming re¬ 
peatedly during the season. 
PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. One of the darkest 
red roses—almost black. Buds are well formed and 
the open, fragrant flowers double enough to make it 
one of the most attractive "blacks. ’’ Sometimes referred 
to as "Black Beauty.’’ 
ULRICH BRUNNER (Hardy American Beauty). A 
bright cherry red rose of striking beauty. The flowers 
are unusually large. Hardy and vigorous in growth,

The plant is strong and sturdy, with luxuriant foliage, 
and blooms continuously until late in fall. 
DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. The old standby with 
exquisite buds of rich saffron-yellow tinged with 
orange. Flowers open semi-double turning to soft 
creamy yellow as they age.
