The Brier Roses 
The Persian Yellow (Austrian Rose). Perfectly hardy; flowers double and 
full, deep golden yellow in color; blooming very freely in June. The finest 
hardy yellow Rose grown. This Rose requires careful pruning. Remove 
the weakly wood altogether, and shorten the shoots left for flowering only 
a few inches. 
Sweetbriers. No Roses are more beautiful, useful, or more neglected than 
the Brier. In the old-fashioned gardens Sweetbriers were extensively 
planted, and we strongly recommend, not only the type Rubiginosa, with 
its fragrant foliage and bright pink flowers in June, but the wonderful 
Penzance hybrids in their lovely shades of deep rose, dark crimson, fawn, 
peach, blush and pure white. They are all of excellent habit and can be 
used in the shrubbery equally as well as in the garden. 
Anemone 
(The Windflowers ) 
These are very desirable fall-flowering plants, thriving best 
in well-drained soils, preferably in rich, sandy loams. The 
Japonica varieties are well suited 
for garden work, and excellent 
for either sunny or shady situa¬ 
tions in the rock-garden or along 
the woodland’s edge. They 
are excellent cover-plants and 
should be largely used. 
Larkspur 
(. Delphinium ) 
Free - flowering 
border plants, 
producing showy 
spikes of flowers 
from June until 
frost, though care 
should be taken to 
cut out the spikes as 
soon as they have flow¬ 
ered, and not allow 
them to seed. They do well 
in any ordinary garden soil, 
but thrive best when the 
soil is rich. 
Japanese Anemones are at their best in late aulumn
