SINGLE ROSES. 
With the increasing appreciation for single flowers, 
the Single Roses are beginning to claim the attention 
that their merits deserve. They are the native plants 
from which the gardener’s art has produced such won¬ 
derful variation, and they are much more vigorous 
and healthy in growth than the double varieties. 
ROSA RXJGOSA. A valuable new species from 
Japan, with thick, shining foliage that is free from 
insect and mildew attacks. It thrives well on any 
soil, and in the salt spray near the ocean. Large

ROSA Setig’era (Prairie Rose). A valuable single 
pink climber, the parent of Baltimore Belle and 
[ Prairie Queen. Fine for planting in shrubberies, 
natural hedge rows, or to brighten swampy 
thickets. Flowers later than others, in July. 
ROSA Nitida. A tall wild Rose, with deep pink 
flowers. 
Sweetbrier, An old favorite, with delicate pink 
blossoms, borne in profusion. The foliage emits 
a spicy fragrance that perfumes the air in damp 
weather. The bright fruit makes the bush attrac¬ 
tive after the flowers are gone. A good hedge 
plant. We can supply it in quantity. We are 
testing the new varieties of this species, known 
as Lord Penzance Hybrid Sweetbriers. 
Memorial Rose {/?osa Wichtiraiana, Trail¬ 
ing Rose). A distinct plant in all respects. It 
trails thickly along the ground, over rocks or em¬ 
bankments, growing 10 to 15 feel in a season, and 
may be used as a carpet plant under taller shrubs. 
It makes a good climber when trained up. The 
foliage is as beautiful as that of the Rugosa, being 
small, thick and lustrous; flowers single, creamy 
white, with golden stamens, and the fragrance of 
the Tea Rose. Excellent as a cut-flower. Blooms 
in July, after most others are gone.

tiusses of brignt crimson flowers. Verv distinct and 
beautiful.
