POLYANTHA, or BABY RAMBLER ROSES—Standard Varieties — Concluded 
similar to Hyacinths, of free, compact growth and very at¬ 
tractive. 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 SOU PERT (Soupert & Netting, 1890.) (H. Poly.) 
— Known the world over as one of the very best of all bed¬ 
ding 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. Every¬ 
body's Rose. 
LE PONCEAU (Hemeray-Aubert, 1910.) — Dark red, blooms 
in large clusters. A choice variety 
MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER (Ducher, 1S80.) (H. 
Poly.)—This is the popular Baby Pink Rose. In the past 
year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popularity. It 
always was a popular outdoor Rose on tho 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 imma¬ 
ture Rose coming in sprays of three to five buds, and com¬ 
bines 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; distiuct and desirable. 
MOSELLA (Lambert, 1895.) (H. Poly.)—Bears large flowers 
for this class; center of flower chrome-yellow; edges of 
petals shading out to creamy-white. A tine 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 ex¬ 
tra fine for pot culture. 
MARIE PAVIE (Alegatiere, 1888.)—Of good size; very full and 
double; borne in large clusters; white flushed with carmine; 
delightfully perfumed; a great bloomer. 
PAQUERETTE (Guillot, 1870.)—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.) Xankeen-yellow with orange 
center; very novel and beautiful. This Rose is dividing 
honors with “Mile. Cecile Brunner” as a cut flower, being 
planted very largely for this purpose. A charming minia¬ 
ture Rose. 
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. Tho 
color is the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful car¬ 
mine-pink. For ourselves, we are very fond of this Rose. 
PRINCESS MARIE ADELAIDE (Soupert, 1890.)—A grand 
Baby Rambler Rose. Flowers of good size. The color is a 
bright pink, flushed with yellow; extra. 
SCHNEEWITCHEN, SNOW WITCH (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. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES—NEWER VARIETIES 
The first Hybrid Perpetuals were grown from crosses between Hybrid China and Tea Scented Roses with Galliea and Bour¬ 
bon Roses. This is a beautiful class and cannot be too highly recommended, including, as it does, many of the hardiest early 
and late flowering kinds, and nearly all of the superb rich crimson red and pink varieties which make such pleasing contrasts to 
the yellow and white Teas. These are hardy. 
CORONATION (Hugh Dickson. 1913.)—The flowers, which are 
freely produced, are of immense size. Color shading from 
flesh to bright shrimp-pink. This is undoubtedly much the 
largest Rose yet raised. Awarded the gold medal of the 
National Rose Society, silver medal of the Belfast show, and 
first prize of the Metropolitan show. Regent's Park, London. 
DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND (Alex. Dickson, 1912.)—A 
strikingly distinct and beautiful Rose of decided merit, 
possessing great value for garden decoration. The blooms 
are freely produced, are large and full, conical in shape, 
building up into a large flower which possesses a delicious 
Sweetbriar perfume. Color delicate rose-pink with lemon 
shading on the white base; charming. 
GEORGE DICKSON (Alex. Dickson. 1912.)—The introducers of 
this new Rose say: “This is the best Rose ever raised by 
us. We make this statement advisedly and with a full 
sense of our responsibility. The Rose is named after the sen¬ 
ior member of our firm, who is now approaching his 
eightieth birthday. We are quite satisfied that within two 
years George Dickson will be the most popular exhibition 
Rose in existence. As near as we can describe it, the color 
is a velvety black crimson, the back of the petal being 
heavily veined with deep pure crimson-maroon. The petals 
are of splendid shape; of magnificent substance; delight¬ 
fully smooth, and built to make the form of flower perfec¬ 
tion. We have regularly had blooms of the highest exhi¬ 
bition standard quite five inches across. It has wonderful 
lasting qualities, not only as to the retention of its color, 
but also in its shape and freshness. Awarded the gold 
medal of the National Rose Society of England, besides many 
other first awards at various shows in England and Ireland.” 
HEINRICH MUNCH (Hinner, 1912.)—Soft pink, very large 
and full; vigorous, fine for forcing in pots and for garden 
culture. Took the sweepstakes prize at the Boskoop Rose 
Exhibition in .Tune, 1913. This is claimed by many to be the 
pink Frau Karl Druschki. 
KING GEORGE V (Hugh Dickson, 1912.)—What Mr. Dickson 
himself says of this Rose: “The flower is very large and 
very full, opening freely; beautifully shaped; much re¬ 
sembling ‘Madame Jules Gravereaux' in build of flower and 
petal. The petals are very abundant and nicely arranged. 
The color is quite unique amongst Hybrid Teas, being rich 
blackish-crimson, with deep velvety violet flush, a striking 
and brilliant color, not burning in the sun nor turning blue, 
as so many of our very dark Roses do. It is very free flow¬ 
ering and perpetual, and delights in a warm sun. The per¬ 
fume is strong and very pleasing. This is one of the finest 
novelties which we have ever sent out and has elicited uni¬ 
versal admiration wherever shown. Awarded the gold medal 
of the Festival of Empire, Crystal Palace, London, June 29, 
1911.” With us this Rose is a pure Hybrid Perpetual. 
PINK FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. or GEORGE ARENDS (Hin¬ 
ner, 1910.)—This is the wonderful "Pink Druschki.” Do 
not confound it with the much inferior sort “Heinrich 
Munch,” which Is being offered in some quarters as “Pink 
Druschki.” This Rose we predict will have as large a fol¬ 
lowing and be as widely planted in a very few years as the 
now famous “White Druschki.” We have looked it over in 
the field and grown it in pots for the market, and we abso¬ 
lutely cannot detect a single fault in it or about it. Tho 
growth and make-up of the plants is superb, while the deli¬ 
cate pink color is unapproachable. Thank you, Mr. Hinner. 
You have enriched our Rose collection for all time. You 
know what some of you have missed by delaying so long In 
getting acquainted with “Frau Karl Druschki.” Do not re¬ 
pent this mistake with “George Arends.”

must take rank as one of the best of the Hybrid Perpetuals.
