FOR PERMANENTLY EDGING WALKS OR FLOWER BEDS 
In this class are different varieties of Polyanthas, such as the Baby 
Rambler types, the small-flowered or Standard Polyanthas and the 
large-flowering kinds, such as the famous, constant-blooming Clothilde 
Soupert, Marie Pavie and Snowstorm. All are suitable for bordering 
paths where a continuous show of bloom is desired, but for edging 
flower-beds the bright-blooming, dwarf-growing Baby Rambler types 
(shown in this column) are the most desirable. We grow them in quan¬ 
tity to meet the large demand there is for them—and will be glad to 
quote special prices by the dozen or hundred as desired.
