Polyantha or 77 Baby 77 Roses 
For constant bloom and bright color in the garden, Polyanthas should be more widely used. 
As permanent bedding plants in masses they are unsurpassed and less expensive than annuals, 
such as geraniums. The low-growing varieties may be used for edging along paths and walks, 
or as a foreground to tall Roses and shrubs. All of the varieties we offer are very hardy 
and truly everblooming. We have grouped them under two headings: those blooming with large- 
flowered clusters, and those with small-flowered clusters. 
Price of Polyanthas: 75 cts. each, less discounts according to quantities ordered.
