Roses 
“A garden without Roses would be sadly deficient.” So my last catalogue introduced my Rose Section, 
and so I yet believe. But, like many other hardy plants, the Roses were affected by the new Plant Exclusion 
Act, and it has left some of us unprepared to meet the demand for Roses as we would like to meet it. I 
hope sometime again to offer all the old favorites, and the good new things, but for the present I must refer 
you to the reliable growers of our country, who have made a specialty of this universal favorite. However, 
I am able to offer the best of the climbing and trailing roses, in good plants. 
The trailing Wichuraiana hybrids, with their slender branches, 20 to 30 feet in length, covered with almost 
evergreen, glossy foliage, and with a mass of blooms in almost every shade known among Roses, may be 
used most effectively for completely covering sloping banks, terraces, or rocky places. Tney may also be 
used staked, as pillar Roses, or to cover pergolas and verandas. 
The stiff-growing, upright Ramblers or Polyantha Roses may be used for covering old walls, fences, 
pergolas, or any unsightly spot where they may be allowed to grow wild at will. 
These classes are perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. Insect pests and fungous diseases may be 
controlled by spraying frequently with bordeaux-arsenate of lead mixture, at the rate of 8 ounces to 5 
gallons of water, applied with any sprayer or with whisk-broom to the under side of the leaves. 
Wichuraiana Hybrids, 
Multifloras, Etc. 
These should not be cut back, as the bloom is pro¬ 
duced on the long canes of the previous season's 
growth. Simply cut out entirely the old, worn-out 
shoots, leaving the strong young canes. Hardy in 
the Middle States without protection. 
AMERICAN PILLAR. Mult. Large, single

handsome foliage and is hardy enough to be grown 
anywhere without protection. $1 each, $9 for 10.

Polyanthas, or Baby Ramblers 
These produce clusters of small flowers, the 
counterpart of the climbing ramblers, except that 
they make very dwarf, busny plants. They bloom 
continuously throughout the summer, making a fine 
display when planted in masses; entirely hardy.
