ROSE SPECIES 
The efforts made by eminent rosarians during the 
past decade to popularize the Wild Roses are now bear¬ 
ing fruit. When planted in appropriate situations, there 
is nothing in the entire floral kingdom that will so per¬ 
manently beautify and dignify an estate or park. There 
is a wide variation in the form of the plants of Wild 
Roses. 
There are dwarf, trailing, and rambling species, vary¬ 
ing from 1 to 15 feet or more in height, and it can be 
truly said that, given suitable situations, they accom¬ 
plish marvelous transformations in the aspect of rocky 
banks, shrubberies, waste lands, and other half-wild 
vistas. Rose Species are not suitable for small gardens, 
which must always remain the undisputed empire of the 
Hybrid Teas, the Polyanthas, the Hybrid Perpetuals, 
and the other garden Roses. In addition to the follow¬ 
ing we can supply many other species which will be 
found listed in our Catalogue of Roses, Herbaceous 
Plants and Vines. Sent on application. 
Rosa blanda. Soft pink flowers, 2 inches across, fol¬ 
lowed by bright red hips. It spreads freely and does 
well in damp situations. Canes 4 to 6 feet tall are 
brilliant red and practically thornless. 60 cts. each. 
R. Carolina. Single, bright rose-pink flowers, 2 inches 
across. Vigorous, 3 to 4-foot shrub. 60 cts. each. 
R. humilis. Clear pink floweis, 2 to 2 34 inches across. 
Very spiny 3 to 6-foot stems with low, spreading 
habit. Grows well in shady situations. 60 cts. each. 
R. rubrifolia (R. ferruginea). Red-leaved Rose. In¬ 
tensely deep pink, starry flowers in small clusters, 
freely produced, followed by red fruits. Remarkable 
for its bluish red foliage and stems, which make it 
very desirable for breaking up solid evergreen plant¬ 
ings. Rambling in habit, but grows into a self-sup¬ 
porting bush. $1 each. 
R. setigera. Prairie Rose. Bears large, bright pink 
flowers in clusters during July and August. A hand¬ 
some shrub growing 6 to 8 feet high with grayish 
foliage. Very hardy. 60 cts. each. 
R. Wichuraiana. Large clusters of pure white flowers 
freely produced. A valuable trailer, every branch 
lying flat, covering banks with dense mats of shining, 
almost evergreen foliage. One of the parents of our 
modern Ramblers. Very desirable for cemetery plots 
and portions of rock-gardens. 60 cts. each. 
SOPHORA viciifolia. Vetchleaf Sophora. A most a1> 
tractive shrub with leaves like the vetch, and violet- 
blue pea-shaped flowers in clusters like a wisteria. 
1J/2 to 2 ft., $1 each, $8.50 for 10. 
SORBARIA Aitchisoni. Kashmir False-Spirea. The 
contrast between the brilliant red stems and the 
bright green foliage is very attractive, as also are 
the spikes of white flowers appearing in late summer. 
3 to 4 ft., 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10. 
SPIRAEA 
These accommodating shrubs, which seem to thrive 
under almost any conditions, scarcely need any recom¬ 
mendation to American gardeners. Bloom profusely 
in early spring; effective when planted in masses.

S. arguta. Garland Spirea. Feathery foliage and very 
profuse, pure white flowers in early May. Dwarf.
