BABY RAMBLER OR POLYANTHA ROSES 
These rather small, bushy plants are the most truly ever- 
blooming of all roses. The bloom is borne in heavy clusters 
throughout the summer until frost. The size of the bush 
makes it especially adaptable to home yard plantings. 
Require careful covering for winter.

CAPTAIN HAYWARD. The scarlet crimson flowers are of splendid form. Very large 
and fragrant. Blooms over quite a long period on a big, strong plant.

son. The flowers are very double, slightly fragrant. Requires severe pruning.

strong grower with a long blooming period.

to give them the required attention will be more than repaid by the graceful beauty of 
these plants. Require winter covering.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. The flowers are produced in great trusses, often thirty or forty 
in a cluster, appearing like large bouquets. The roses are small, semi-double, and 
of a bright crimson color.

pendulous sprays. The fragrant flowers do not fade in color.

color they are flesh pink, deeper at the center. Splendid for cutting, very fragrant. 
Dark glossy foliage.

ters. A vigorous grower. Has largely replaced the Crimson Rambler.

large, semi-double pink flowers. The plant is extremely vigorous, making a growth of 10 feet or more each 
year. One of the most useful and effective. 
TAUSENDSCHOEN or THOUSAND BEAUTY. Prettily ruffled large flowers of shades of creamy white and 
changing to bright rose-pink. A healthy grower. 
WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS. The flowers are rather small, very double of pure creamy white. Blooms

HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
1st. Dig a hole so large the roots won’t 
be cramped. 
2nd. Place plant depth shown. Fill hole 
nearly to top with rich soil. Water thor¬ 
oughly to firmly settle soil. 
3rd. Trim plant to about 7 or 8 inches 
in height as picture shows. 
4th. Cover entire top of the plant with 
a mound of loose soil about 9 inches high. 
5th. In about two weeks pull a little 
of the loose soil away to observe if buds 
are bursting open. If buds are opening, 
carefully pull away the mound of loose 
soil. If buds are still dormant leave the 
mound of soil until buds are observed to 
burst open, then remove mound. 
WINTER COVERING—Cover for winter 
this same way and over the mound place 
about a foot of marsh hay, then a layer 
of building paper.

very fragrant. Hybrid Perpetual Roses are more hardy than the Hybrid Tea class. 
They are not, however, as profuse bloomers. Winter covering is necessary.
