I N SUITABLE situations—the shrub border, dry and rocky banks, neglected parts of 
the garden, or as lawn specimens—nothing will so beautify such localities as these 
wild Roses. The fragile beauty of their flowers is exquisite and their red, pink, and 
black fruits, borne in fall, are highly decorative. There are dwarf, trailing, and rambling 
sorts—the growths of different kinds vary in length from 1 to 15 feet—making them 
suitable for almost any location or purpose. 
The expense of collecting, propagating, and keeping these Roses true is great. We 
ask buyers to spread their selection of sorts over as wide a range as possible, so that we 
can continue to keep all these beauties in cultivation for American gardens. 
While most of the species we have are field-grown, some few varieties are in pots. 
All Species Roses, $1 each, $9 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted. Those
