A very hardy Rose, 4 to 6 feet high, 
with shining leaves which have a re¬ 
freshing fragrance, and many small, 
pink, single flowers. Fruit orange- 
crimson, quite showy. Fine for hedges. 
Field-grown, 50 cts. each, $5.00 per

ROSA rugosa These Japan Roses 
are very hardy, rapid growers, attaining a height of 5 or G feet, rendering them available 
for impenetrable, ornamental hedges, for which purpose they are unexcelled. The foliage is 
rather thick in texture, and of the most glossy, luxuriant green. Flowers are large, single 
and most perfect in form, followed by large, bright red or golden apples. 50 cts. each, $5.00 
per doz. 
WICHURAIANA (New Japan Creeping Rose). A low, trailing species, its stems creep¬ 
ing on the earth as closely as an ivy, and forming a dense mat of very dark green, lustrous 
foliage. It is a rapid grower. The flowers are rather small, pure white, with golden yellow 
stamens. It is perfectly hardy, and very desirable for creeping over walls or covering un¬ 
sightly places. 50 cts. each, $5.00 per doz. 
Climbing Roses 
Baltimore Belle. White, very double flowers in large clusters. The buds are slightly 
tinged with pink. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
Crimson Rambler (The Hardy Japan Climbing Rose). This Rose was introduced in 
1893, and has proved a decided novelty. It is a vigorous grower, making in some cases 
shoots 15 feet long in a season. The flowers are small, but grow in large, glowing crimson 
bunches, measuring from 6 to 9 inches from base to tip; 300 blooms have been counted on 
one shoot. The flowers remain a long time in fine condition. Seems to be well adapted to 
the entire country; should be in every collection. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
Dorothy Perkins. Resembling Crimson Rambler in mode of growth; the flowers are 
double and of a beautiful shell-pink color; quite hardy. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
