POLYANTHA ROSES.... 
The Polyanthas are the hardest workers of the Rose 
family; they start blooming very early in the season and keep 
right at it until frost stops them—real tireless workers. 
Our collection does not contain any of the very tall varie¬ 
ties but does include the finest of the very dwarf varieties 
and the best of those of medium height. 
The plants are bushy in growth and profuse in bloom, so 
that for solid beds of color they are unexcelled. The low- 
growing varieties like Eblouissant make fine edging plants 
for beds of Hybrid Teas and for a colorful hedge that never 
becomes tiresome. Polyantha Roses are the answer to the 
garden-maker’s prayer.

PLANTING IN AUTUMN IS ADVISED 
All advantages of growth favor Roses planted as soon 
as possible after the first of November. The ground at 
this season is still warm; this encourages root-growth. In 
the spring, the ground is cold and the atmosphere warm, 
encouraging top-growth. The result is that Roses in large 
numbers wither and die in hot weather. By all means, 
plant them in late November and through December.
