SHADINGS—Cont’d 
Margaret McGredy — The extraordinary 
vividness of this scarlet-orange color stands out 
in the garden like a torch. The symmetrical 
blooms are cup-shaped and double, with an excel¬ 
lent circular arrangement of the petals, and they 
are produced with astonishing freedom through¬ 
out the entire season. Its sturdy growth, de¬ 
lightful perfume, and remarkable blend of colors 
is everything that could be desired. 
Talisman —It is the most remarkable piece .of 
coloring that we know in any Rose; a combina¬ 
tion of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow, and 
deep pink or old rose. The outside of the petals 
is bright yellow, gold, and pink; as the flower 
develops and the petals unfold, they become 
bright apricot, gold, deep rose-pink or old rose. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
This is a class of the hardier perpetuals or 
everblooming Roses, as a rule the flowers running 
larger than the Hybrid Teas. You can not make 
a mistake in purchasing either the Hybrid 
Perpetuals or the Hybrid Teas. If given proper 
winter protection, they are hardy anywhere in 
South Dakota. 
American Beauty —Generally conceded to be 
the most grandly beautiful Rose in size, form, and 
color. Rich red, passing tocrimson, very delicately 
veined and shaded and surpassingly fragrant. 
Frau Karl Druschki —This brilliant white 
type Rose has become renowned as the very 
highest type of its class and the best snow-white 
Rose ever introduced. It is an extraordinarily 
strong grower, branching freely, and has the 
vigor and hardiness of an oak. Large, heavy 
foliage and magnificent flowers that are pro¬ 
duced with great freedom on long, stiff stems. 
The color is marvelously white, without a tinge 
of yellow or any other shade. Hardy everywhere. 
General Jacqueminot —A rich, velvety crim¬ 
son, changing to a dark scarlet crimson, some¬ 
times called the Black Rose. Best known of all 
Hybrid Perpetuals, and is without rival in fra¬ 
grance and richness of color. An old favorite and 
one of the best known Roses under cultivation. 
Gurney’s Pink Neyron —One of the finest 
hardy Roses ever grown. It blooms unceasingly 
from June to November, on uniformly long, stiff, 
-thornless stems, cup-shaped flowers 4 to 6 
inches across. Color is a bright ruddy pink. 
BUSH ROSES 
English Sweetbrler— This is the true Eglan¬ 
tine and highly valued for the spicy fragrance of 
the young foliage. The pink flowers come only in 
June but the fragrance of the foliage is with the 
plant always. Used in quantity for hedge plant¬ 
ing, and equally good for single specimens. 
Red Japanese Rose (Rugosa Rubra) —Came 
from Japan. Flowers beautiful, bright rosy- 
crimson and single, succeeded by large berries of 
rich rosy-red, which last on bushes until well into 
winter. Noted for its delightful pungent f ragrance. 
Persian Yellow —Deep, golden-yellow, semi¬ 
double; very fine, hardy. 
R. Hugonis (Native of Western China)—This 
Chinese Rose gives us the only dependable 
yellow shrub rose. The long arching branches are 
closely set with lovely single flowers very early in 
the season, sometimes before June 1st in this 
latitude. The blooms are approximately 1 y 2 
inches across and of clear bright yellow which 
does not fade to white. The foliage is pale green, 
finely divided, persistent, and on curiously 
thorned red stems. The plantis dependably hardy. 
Conrad Ferdinand Meyer —Early flowering 
hybrid combining the ornamental qualities of its 
Rugosa foliage with the blossoms, beauty, and 
perfume of the Hybrid Perpetuals. Flowers 
large, cup-shaped, double, delicate silvery-pink. 
Blooms throughout season. 
Hansa Rugosa —The description of the Con¬ 
rad Ferdinand Meyer may well apply to this with 
the exception of the color. The flowers are 
crimson and especially fine. 
Roses like a fairly heavy soil, and, like a girl — lots of attention 
BABY RAMBLER OR 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
The Baby Rambler Roses are dwarf or semi¬ 
dwarf Rose bushes producing immense quantities 
of flowers from June until frost. Avery hardy 
class and require but little winter protection 
to bring them through in good condition. We are 
offering the two-year heavy plants, dormant. 
Golden Salmon —Bright orange-salmon flow¬ 
ers in huge clusters. Growth is vigorous and 
bushy. First really orange Polyantha. Makes a 
splendid display planted in masses. 
Ideal — Dark velvety crimson outdoors, bril¬ 
liant scarlet under glass, a prospective Christ¬ 
mas-red Rose. Compact and bushy with glossv 
leathery leaves and shapely trusses. Orleans 
type, sport from Edith Cavell. 
Miss Edith Cavell — Color brilliant scarlet, 
overlaid with deep, velvety crimson or maroon. 
The blooms are single and come in great open 
clusters all season. The most attractive red 
Polyantha Rose in existence. 
White Baby Rambler —Pure snow-white 
double blooms in profuse clusters, making a 
sheet of white color, with a fragrance similar to 
Hyacinths. A compact, bushy grower of dwarf 
habit; foliage dark, glossy and finely cut; ever¬ 
blooming and hardy. 
F. J. Grootendorst —This hybrid is unlike 
any other Rugosa in having the beauty and free¬ 
dom of bloom of the Baby Ramblers, but with 
the rugged foliage and hardiness of the Rugosa. 
In luxuriance of bloom, and in sturdiness, this 
Rose has fairly leaped into the greatest popu¬ 
larity. It is the grandest of the red flowered 
Baby Ramblers, and blooms continuously all 
summer. Splendid for low hedges or edgings. 
CLIMBING OR PILLAR ROSES 
Crimson Rambler —The famous crimson- 
cluster climber, so extremely effective when 
grown on pillars and trellises. Makes shoots 8 
to 10 feet long in a season. Flowers are pro¬ 
duced, from ground to tip, in large pyramidal 
clusters of thirty to forty. 
Paul's Scarlet Climber —No other rose in 
any class can compare with this for brilliancy of 
color which is maintained until the petals fall. 
The flowers, a vivid scarlet are of good size semi¬ 
double, very freely produced in clusters of from 
3 to 20 flowers each on much branched canes, the 
plants being literally covered from top to bottom 
with bloom. Strong climbing habit and hardy. 
One of the most popular climbing roses. 
Pink Dorothy Perkins —Clear shell pink with 
flowers borne in clusters; full and double. This 
is without question one of the very finest of all 
climbing roses. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelln — (Spanish Beau¬ 
ty) Pearl-pink. Early. A plant of this “Queen 
of the Climbing Rosea” in full bloom is one 
of the most beautiful sights we have ever 
seen. Long-pointed! buds of crimson open to 
great, urn-shaped) flowers of iridescent pearl- 
pink, with splashes of ruby-carmine on the 
outside of petals. Deliciously fragrant blooms are 
produc ed so lavishly that they almost hide plant.
