Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses—Newer varieties 
♦ ^ Hoses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. They are of dwarf habit and bloom so freely 
as to cover tne entire plant with bloom all through summer and fall. The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edg- 
VL r bor ^ ers t “ e - v are hardy. Let us tell you something about these miniature Roses. While Europe has appreci- 
ated these Roses for years, America is just beginning to wake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and any 
one who attempts to handle Roses without including this class will bump into something real hard. They are useful, 
either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge effects. Completely hide the plant with bloom from early till late. 
BABY ELEGANCE (Hobbies, 1913) — An elegant new 
“Baby Rose.’’ Has single flowers of a beautiful lilac- 
rose color shading to Irish Elegance-yellow. Long stem 
and free bloomer. 
BABY 1' ARBENKONIGIN — This is a new baby Rose bear¬ 
ing flowers that in color are same as Farbenkonigin or 
Queen of Colors. Clear pink. 
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN (Welter, 1911)—This Rose was 
formerly named “Louise Welter.’’ Its llowers are large 
and so much like “Tausendschoen" that it has been re- 
christened- “Baby Tausendschoen.’’ It is a bush form of 
the “Climbing Tausendschoen’’ or “Thousand Beauties,’’ 
having all the charm in the variablo coloring in its 
flowers .that its parent has, being firm white, delicately 
flushed pink, changing to deep rosy-carmine. This is a 
splendid Rose. Try it. 
BETSY VAN NES (Turbat & Co., 1914)-: — Color bright pure 
red, without other shades. A strong grower bearing 
large double flowers that keep their bright red color 
until the flower drops. 
BONNIE BELLE (Hobbies, 1913)—Enormous trusses of 
dark cherry-red llowers. Unusually long buds for a 
Polyantha. Worthy of trial. 
CORONET (Wm. Paul, 1912)—Yellow shaded with rose. 
Very fine and effective and quite distinct. 
DEW'DROP (Hobbies, 1913)—Cherry-red; lasts a long 
time, grows easy. A very double Rose. 
ELLEN POULSON (Poulson, 1912) — Dark brilliant pink, 
large and full, sweetly scented. Vigorous bushy habit, 
most floriferous. Very line. 
ERNA TESCHENDORFF (Teschendorff, 1911) —A sport 
from “Madame Norbert Levavasseur,’’ which it resem¬ 
bles with regard to habit of growth and foliage, etc. 
The flowers are of a deep crimson color, liushed with 
carmine, resembling the dazzling color of “Gruss an 
Teplitz.’’ This variety does not lose its color in the 
hottest sun and has no purple shades. It has received 
many awards on the continent, and is said to be the 
darkest Polyantha in existence. It is much sought after 
in America to bloom in pots during the winter and for 
Easter time. 
GEORGE ELGER (Turbat & Co., 1913)—A lovely little 
gulden-yellow polyantha Rose, with a good admixture 
of Tea blood; like all of its class, it is free in growth, 
free in bloom, with small, glossy foliage produced in 
profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow buds open 
into pretty little •symmetrical Roses. Will prove a very 
popular corsage variety; is grown in quantity now for 
this purpose. 
GLOJLRE DES MARCHES—A free-blooming baby Rose of 
a clear red color; extra. 
JEANNY SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1913)—Delicate 
Carnation-white, of regular, perfect form, produced in

ing and beautiful Rose.

large trusses of from thirty to fifty llowers, of a light 
pink color, shaded golden yellow. Extra fine.

ters of 100 to 150 flowers from May till November.

Extra. 
POMPON DE LYON (Dubreuil, 1913)—Bright carmine- 
rose, of regular form, produced in large clusters. Growth 
robust and branching. Very free flowering. Extra fine. 
RODHATTE (Little Red Riding Hood) (Poulson, 1912) — 
Clear cherry-red, shaded deep crimson, with a lustrous 
finish, comes in immense clusters. Very vigorous and 
free-flowering. Fine for massing. The growth resem¬ 
bles the Hybrid Teas. 
WHITE MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER (—, 1914) 
—This is identical with the pink form of that famous 
Rose, “Mademoiselle Cecile Brunner," known to the 
cut-flower trade as the “Baby Pink Rose.” This variety 
is destined to become as famous for use in floral work 
of all kinds as its parent. See description of Mademoi¬ 
selle Cecile Brunner. 
Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses 
Standard Varieties including the Hybrid Polyanthas. They are Hardy. 
AGATHE—Golden-orange, shaded with saffron or coppery- 
yellow. Fine. 
ANNA MULLER (Schmidt, 1907) — This Rose is very much 
the same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the 
color of its flowers, which are a shiny, brilliant pink 
produced in the greatest profusion in large clusters. It 
is a splendid companion to the other excellent members 
of this family. This is the original pink Baby Rambler. 
BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR 
(Levavasseur, 1903) — This is the original Baby Rambler, 
oaddy of them all. It is in bloom all the time, flowers 
in large clusters of brightest crimson. It grows to a 
height of eighteen inches and hides the plant with its 
bloom. A most wonderful Rose. 
CATHERINE ZEIMET, or WHITE BABY RAMBLER 
(Lambert, 1901)—This is surely a beauty and a great 
addition to the Baby Ramblers. Grows to a height of 
twenty inches and produces double pure white flowers 
in abundance. It has a fragrance similar to Hyacinths, 
of free, compact growth and very attractive. It produces 
a sheet of white bloom that is certainly a sight worth 
seeing. 
NOTE—The above three Roses, "Anna Muller," "Baby 
Rambler" and "Catherine Zeimet" are the original 
pink, red and white Baby Ramblers in the order 
named. They are hard to beat. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890) (H. 
Poly.) — Known the world over as one of the very best 
of all bedding Roses. The only rival of “Hermosa" as 
a bedder and market pot plant. The color effect is beau¬ 
tiful ivory-white, shading towards the center to bright 
silvery-pink. Everybody’s Rose. 
JESSIE (Merryweather, 1909)—This new Baby Rambler Is 
an ideal Rose for massing, bedding or for pot culture. 
The flowers, which are produced in huge clusters, are of 
a bright cherry-crimson color which does not fade. 
Superb. The best of all the Baby Ramblers for pot 
culture. 
LE PONCEAU (Hemeray-Aubert, 1910)—Dark red, blooms 
in large clusters. A choice variety. 
MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER (Ducher, 1880) 
(H. Poly.)—This is the popular Baby Pink Rose. In the 
past year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popu¬ 
larity. It always was a popular outdoor Rose on the 
Pacific Coast, but recently even in the effete East and 
everywhere in America they are planting it simply by 
the thousands for cut flowers. It has become quite the 
rage. It makes a handsome miniature Rose, coming in 
sprays of three to five buds, and combines in beautiful 
effect with so many other flowers in all kinds of floral 
work. Every grower should try some of these—not 
only in the greenhouse but in his garden. It is a very 
prolific bloomer and if carefully protected in the winter 
should be a money maker, both outdoors and under 
glass. The bud and flower are both handsome. Color 
blush, shaded light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. 
MARIE PAVIE (Alegatiere, 1888)—Of good size; very 
full and double; borne in large clusters; color white, 
flushed with carmine; delightfully perfumed; a great 
bloomer. 
MRS. WILLIAM H. CUTBUSH (Levavasseur, 1907)—One 
of the very finest types of the Baby Rambler Roses. It 
produces in constant profusion throughout the entire 
summer its pleasing delicate pink blooms in large 
trusses; also extra fine for pot culture. 
MOSELLA (Lambert, 1895) (H. P.)—Bears large flowers 
for this class; center of flower chrome-yellow; edges of 
petals shading out to creamy-white. Fine bedding Rose.
