Mrs. John Laing. (Bennett, 1887.) Immensely popu¬ 
lar, iblooms just as freely as the Hybrid Teas. 
Large, clear pink flowers, freely produced and 
shoots are thornless. 
Paul Neyron. (Levet, 1869.) Enormous flowers, dark 
lilac rose in color, very fragrant. 
Symphony. (Weigand, 1934, Patent No. 79.) An 
everblooming pink Frau Karl Druschki. The flowers 
are often 6 inches across and are blush pink open¬ 
ing to pale rose and deepening towards the centre. 
$1.25 each. 
Prince Camille de Rohan. (Eugene Verdier, 1861.) 
This darkest of all the H. P. roses is still indis¬ 
pensable. The color is dark crimson, shaded 
maroon with a gracious fragrance. Given some 
shade the beautiful flowers will not burn. 
S. M. Gustave V. (Nabonnaud, 1928.) An ever 
blooming hybrid perpetual, lovely pink color, vig¬ 
orous, fully double flowers and very fragrant.

ties 60 cents each, $6.00 dozen, $50.00 per 100. Six 
at dozen and 25 and 50 at 100 rate. 
POLYANTHA OR “BABY RAMBLER” 
ROSES 
The Polyantha roses are very persistent bloom¬ 
ers, being of dwarf or moderate habit, they are 
admirable for bedding and mass effects. While some¬ 
times used as edgings for beds of Hybrid Teas they 
are much better used alone. 
Anne Poulsen. (Polyantha.) (Poulsen, 1935.) Large 
semi-double scarlet-crimson flowers which are 
fragrant, produced all summer, plants are husky 
with splendid foliage. The finest of the Poulsen 
roses. $1.00 each. 
Cameo. (DeRuiter, 1932.) Shell pink and salmon 
with a golden glow, a real acquisition. 
Gruss an Aachen. Different from all other Polyan- 
thas on account of the remarkable size of the 
flowers which are often mistaken for Hybrid 
Teas. Buds are orange red and yellow, when fully 
open the very double flowers are a charming com¬ 
bination of light pink and salmon yellow. A won¬ 
derful fall bloomer. 
Gruss an Aachen, Pink. Like the type in form but 
the color is a pleasing pink. 
Gruss an Aachen, White. A fine novelty, buff yellow 
while in bud becoming snow white when open. 
$1.50 each. 
Lady Reading. The habit is similar to that of 
Ellen Poulsen but the flowers are bright red and 
possess some fragrance. 
Mme. Cecile Brunner. (Ducher, 1881.) Popularly 
known as the “Sweetheart Rose,” delightful for 
boutonnieres. 
Marie Pavie. Pure white of very nice form and free 
flowering. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch. Soft rosy pink. A glorified Mme. 
C. Brunner. 
Permanent Wave. (M. Leenders, 1932, Patent 107.) 
Of the large flowered hybrid polyantha type, rosy 
pink flowers in large clusters permanently waved 
from bud stage to finished flower, color rosy pink. 
A fine acquisition. $1.00 each. 
Pink Lafayette. A very charming variety with large 
clusters of showy pink flowers.
