TWELVE BEST SORTS 
COMPRISING 
The “POLAR” Collection 
T HE “Polar” collection of twelve hardy Roses, named below, are 
unequaled in their class, combining the greatest variety of form, 
richness of color and freedom of bloom which it is possible to 
get in that number. The first and second sizes will bloom this year, 
and the third will mako fine plants for next season’s flowering. Where 
twelve sorts are wanted, we believe it would be impossible to improve 
on this selection, and even if more are wanted a larger number of col- 
lections could be obtained with the best results. Want of space alone pre¬ 
vents us from Illustrating each one, and where all are so good It was diffi¬ 
cult to select for illustrating. 
American Beauty. No1 - In “American Beauty” we have a hardy Rose 
of the largest size, having the ever-blooming qualities 
of the Tea Rose, with the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Rose, conse¬ 
quently equally valuable for winter or summer flowering. In color it is a 
deep, brilliant pink, shaded toward the centre with rich carmine crimson. 
(See cut.) This should be protected far north in winter. 
Coquette des Blanches. No - 2 - Tlie bc8t ancl freest-blooming of the 
hardy white Roses. It is a finely formed, pure 
white variety, but occasionally shows light blush when first opening. (See cut.)

~ Rose. (See cut and special description, page 138.) 
Anna de Diesbach. No - 4 - (Oloire de Paris.) Dark rich pink; immense size; one 
of the finest hardy Roses. (See cut.) 
DinSmOfe. No - 5 - This fine variety possesses all the desirable qualities of a bed¬ 
ding Rose—good color, fine form, a profuse bloomer, and stands the 
rigor of our Northern winters without protection. The flowers are large, double and 
deep crimson. Flowers as freely as the Monthly Roses. (See cut.) 
Jubilee. No - 6 - The grandest hardy dark red Rose yet offered. (See cut and special 
description, page 125.)
