1895) — (C. T.) The blooms are double to the center, of the 
largest size, and come In immense bouquets of from five to 
ten blooms on a single branch, and the effect throughout the 
blooming season is a perfect sheet of color. The color, ruby- 
red suffused with golden-yellow, is a happy combination. 
REINE MARIE HENRIETTE (Levet, 1878) — (C. T.) Deep 
cherry-red. This Rose takes the lead as a climber from New 
Orleans to Philadelphia. 
REVE d'OR, or GOLDEN CHAIN (Ducher, 1869) — (N.) Buff- 
yellow, very free bloomer, very pretty. Strong grower; will 
do well in any situation.

flower. Extra flue. 
STRIPED MARIE HENRIETTE (Madame Driout) (Thiriat.

deep orange-yellow: medium size, but extremely showy and 
distinct; very attractive. 
ZELIA PRADEL (Pradel, 1861)—(N.) Lemon-yellow, chang- 
‘ ing to creamy-white; very fine. 
Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses —Newer Varieties 
A class of miniature Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. They are of dwarf habit and bloom so freely as to cover 
the entire, plant with bloom all through summer and fall. The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they 
are hardy. Let us tell you something about these miniature Roses. While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, Amer¬ 
ica is just beginning to wake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and any one who attempts to handle Roses without in¬ 
cluding 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 FARBENKONIGIN— This is a new baby Rose bearing 
flowers that in color are same as Farbenkonigin or Queen of 
Colors. Clear pink. 
DEWDROP (Hobbies, 1913)—Cherry-red; lasts a long time, 
grows easy. A very double Rose. 
EUGENIE LAMESCH (Lambert, 1900)—Orange-yellow, passing 
to clear yellow, shaded rose; produced in large clusters. 
Fine. 
GEORGE ELGER (Turbat & Co., 1913)—A lovely little golden- 
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 lit¬ 
tle pointed yellow buds open into pretty little symmetrical 
Roses. Will prove a very popular corsage variety; is grown 
in quantity now for this purpose. 
TIP TOP. “Baby Doll” (Lambert, 1915)—This delightful 
little “Sweetheart” Rose is a wonder. The color is abso¬ 
lutely new, and quite startling in its brilliancy, golden-yel¬ 
low tipped with clear, bright cerise. The foliage is narrow, 
long and sharply pointed, a deep glossy green — a very beau¬ 
tiful setting for the lovely little doll-roses, a bench of “Baby 
Doll” being an even parterre of delicious color. 
Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses 
Standard Varieties including the Hybrid Polyanthas. They are Hardy. 
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 com¬ 
panion to the other excellent members of this family. This 
is the original pink Baby Rambler. 
BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR (Levavas- 
seur, 1903)—This is the original Baby Rambler, daddy of 
them all. It is in bloom all the time, flowers in large clus¬ 
ters of brightest crimson. It grows to a height of eighteen 
inches and hides the plant with its bloom. A most wonder¬ 
ful Rose. 
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN (Welter, 1911) — This Rose was 
formerly named “Louise Welter.” Its flowers are large and 
so much like “Tausendschoen” that it has been rechristened 
“Baby Tausendschoen.” It is a bush form of the “Climbing 
Tausendschoen” or “Thousand Beauties,” having all the 
charms in the variable 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. 
CATHERINE ZEIMET, or‘WHITE BABY RAMBLER (Lambert, 
1T>01)—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. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890) — (IT. 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 beautiful ivory-white, shading 
towards the center to bright silvery-pink. Everybody's Rose. 
ELLEN POULSON (Poulson, 1912)—Dark brilliant pink, large 
and full, sweetly scented. Vigorous bushy habit, most flor- 
iferous. Very fine. 
ERNA TESCHENDORFF (Teschendorff. 1911)—A sport from 
“Madame Norbert Levavasseur,” which it resembles with re¬ 
gard to habit of growth and foliage, etc. The flowers are 
of a deep crimson color, flushed 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. 
JESSIE (Merrvweather, 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 PONCHEAU (Hemeray-Aubert, 1910)—Dark red, blooms in 
large clusters. A choice variety. 
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. 
MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER (Ducher. 1880) — (II. 
Poly.) This is the popular Baby Pink or “Sweetheart 
Rose. In the past year or two this Rose has fairly jumped 
into popularity. 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. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully pro¬ 
tected 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. 
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. 
MRS. WILLIAM H. CUTBUSH (Levavasseur, 1907)— One of 
the very finest types of the Baby Rambler Roses. It pro¬ 
duces in constant profusion throughout the entire summer 
its pleasing delicate pink blooms in large trusses; also extra 
fine for pot culture. 
MAMAN TURBAT (Levavasseur. 1914)—Strong grower; large 
trusses, of from thirty to fifty flowers; light pink color, 
shaded golden-yellow. 
ORLEANS (Levavasseur, 1910)—The showiest and prettiest of 
all the Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty Rose 
is of beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bouquet of deep 
cerise or Geranium-pink with distinct showy center of pure 
white*; florets not crowded but of beautiful arrangement, 
making as a whole a charming combination that cannot be 
beaten. The color is irresistible. The plant grows like a 
weed and the flowers are nearly “immortelle” in their lasting 
qualities. We believe that they will outlast almost any other 
Rose in existence with their stiff paper-like texture. This 
pretty Rose has taken Europe by storm and has made a sen¬ 
sation. Awarded gold medal. 
PAQUERETTE (Guillot, 1876)—This is one among the very 
first Baby Rambler Roses sent out. The flowers are very 
double and pure white. This Rose has many favorites. 
PERLE d’OR (Dubreuil, 1883) Nankeen-yellow with orange 
center; very novel and beautiful. This Rose is dividing 
honors with “Mile. Cecilc Brunner” as a cut flower, being 
planted very largely for this purpose. Charming miniature 
Rose. j 
PRIMULA (Soupert, 1900)—Considered by many to be the 
most popular of the Baby Rambler Roses. Grows to a height, 
of two feet Very hardy. Always in bloom. The color is 
the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful carmine-pink. 
For ourselves, we are very fond of this Rose. 
PRINCESS MARIE ADELAIDE (Soupert, 1896)- A grand Baby 
Rambler Rose. Flowers of good size. The color is a bright 
pink, flushed with yellow ; extra. 
SCHNEEWITCHEN, SN(JW WHITE (Lambert, 1901) -An ideal 
sort for garden culture, having a round, compact habit, with 
very full trusses of evenly disposed flowers, which are per¬ 
fect in form and semi-double. Color glistening ivory-white, 
with golden stamens, extra.
