Polyantha Roses 
W ITHIN recent years, so many improvements have been made in this class that many of the 
varieties no longer resemble the old Baby Ramblers and we have been forced to subdivide 
this class. The small-flowered varieties may be used for low edgings and mass plantings, 
the large-flowered varieties for hedges and large mass effects. Both kinds are indispensable where 
constant summer bloom is required in the garden. One may choose heights of 12 inches to 4 feet in 
an unlimited range of colors with the assurance that they will outflower all other Rose types with 
less care and attention. 
In this class will also be found what have recently been publicized as “Floribunda Roses.” They 
are mainly strong-growing super-Polyanthas and these we have indicated by a dot (•). 
Prune lightly, with an occasional thinning out of old wood. Tall-growing varieties we have indi¬ 
cated by H. These are also good for hedges. All others are low bedding varieties. 
All of these Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10 of any one variety, unless otherwise noted. 
Those priced at $1 each are $9 for 10 of any one variety 
We grow many additional varieties in this class. Ask for list
