MOSS ROSES (Rosa centifolia muscosa ) 
T HESE hardy old favorites of the gardens of our grandmothers are in the same class 
as the little-known Cabbage Rose, which was based on the Caucasian species, Rosa 
centifolia. The flower is surrounded by a mossy excrescence which gives it distinc¬ 
tion and beauty, and the blooms are exceedingly fragrant, when produced in June. 
All Moss Roses are 75 cts. each, $6. 
BARON DE WASSENER. (V. Verdier, 1854.) 
The showy, cupped blooms are light crimson. A

PROVENCE OR CABBAGE ROSES (Rosa centifolia) 
Probably these old, old Roses include the sorts that existed when the Rose was called 
the “Queen of Flowers” first in Athens 2,600 years ago. They are ruggedly hardy and 
very fragrant, and a group of them in a corner of the Rose-garden or along a driveway 
will be likely to give much pleasure.
