HYBRID SWEETBRIERS 
T HE familiar Sweetbrier, or Eglantine, fragrant in its leaves and stems as well as its 
flowers, is a native Rose of England —Rosa rubiginosa. Some years ago, Lord 
Penzance, an English rosarian, made a number of hybrids with this English Sweet- 
brier and sent out a set of notably fine varieties. 
Most of these Sweetbriers are of rampant and vigorous growth, requiring abundant 
room. They have single or semi-double 
flowers which appear only at the time of 
spring bloom, but their foliage is excellent 
during the whole growing season, and these 
subjects are particularly useful for parks, 
along driveways and in shrubbery borders, 
where each plant can be allowed a wide 
spread for its growth and beauty. They 
are all completely hardy. 
All the Hybrid Sweetbriers are $1 each for strong 
field-grown plants
