BOURBON AND NOISETTE ROSES 
The Bourbons are closely related to the Chinas. Some bloom 
continuously, but a few are once-blooming. Prune like China 
Roses, leaving old wood on climbing kinds. 
The Noisette group comprises some of the most beautiful 
Roses in the world. They grow most vigorously and produce a. 
wealth of lovely, fragrant bloom. Contrary to what is sometimes 
stated, the Noisette Roses are hardy with ordinary winter pro¬ 
tection, such as we recommend for the Hybrid Teas. 
These Roses are $1.50 each, except where otherwise noted
