T Hardy Memorial Rose Wichuraiana) 
Creeps on the ground like Ivy: dark green leaves. 
Numberless satiny white flowers, with golden yellow 
discs. 
Hardy as grass and will grow in sun or shade. 
with a golden yellow disc, five to six inches in circumference, and have the strong 
fragrance of the Banksia Hoses. 'Die contrast between the satiny white of the petals 
and the golden yellow disc is sharp and pleasing, and is one of the distinctive charms 
of the beautiful Hardy Memorial Rose, and they fairly cover the entire plant when 
in bloom, a mass of great snowflakes with the rich, dark green showing here and there. 
But its use is not confined to Cemeteries .—Planted in the ltoso garden, alone or among 
other Boses, and trained upright to a stake, it may be had from three to six feet 
high, as desired, and it will send sprays of flowers drooping downward, making the 
prettiest sight imaginable. It lias been largely used throughout the famous park 
system of Boston for covering rocky slopes, embankments and such places as it was 
desirable to cover quickly with verdure. It quickly adapts itself to all conditions of 
growth, whether barren soil, rocky ledge, fertile garden, shady nook or sun-kissed 
slope, and no more fitting place can be found for it than running through the grass. 
NOTE THE REDUCED PRICES FOR THIS SEASON. 
Extra largo plants, 40c. each, 3 for SI.00, 7 for $2.00, 12 for $3.00; smaller plants, 
20c each, 3 for 50c., 7 for $1.00, 12 for $1.50. 
As a guide to buyers wo would say that two of the extra large plants or three of the 
smaller size will cover a grave. Twelve plants of either size will cover an ordinary 
plot, but the largo plants will do it more rapidly and give more flowers the first year. 
COR USE IN CEMETERIES.—It, is difficult to conceive anything more appropriate, 
beautiful and enduring for covering graves and plots in cemeteries than the Hardy 
Memorial Rose. It creeps along the ground almost as closely as an Ivy, growing 
ten feet in one season and forming a dense mat of very dark green, lustrous foliage. 
THE FLOWERS are produced in lavish profusion, in clusters, on the ends of the short 
side branches, after the June Boses are past, from the first week in July throughout 
the month, and sparingly for the rest of the season. They are single, pure white,

A NEW FEATURE. 
(• 
In addition to what we say of this fine Rose, we 
call particular attention hero to its Climbing 1 
Habit. Wc only made a passing allusion to this 
feature last year, hut emphasize it now in the above 
illustration. Mr. Wm. Falconer called particular 
attention to this feature in '‘Gardening,” and our 
illustration is designed from the photograph of a 
plant he had growing. Trained over a gateway 
it forms a perfect bower, or it can bo trained 
to a fence or house with equal success. 
We sold nearly fifty thousand of the Memorial 
Rose last year, and liavo received numerous letters 
of commendation testifying to its usefulness and 
unique beauty. Park and Cemetery Superin¬ 
tendents throughout the country have bought it 
largely, and are intensely enthusiastic over it, tho 
strongest recommendation itcould possibly have.
