Polyantha or Baby Roses 
This class of roses contains some roses 
like Cecil Brunner which is used mostly 
for the single buds but most of them are 
of the bedding type like the last three in 
our list. These are often used in a manner 
similar to Geranium and Salvia, owing to 
their hardiness and almost continuous 
bloom. They are best planted 15 to 18 
inches apart in groups or borders, al¬ 
though single bushes are also very effec¬ 
tive. 
CECIL BRUNNER. A perfectly shaped 
rose of great charm. The buds are exquis¬ 
itely formed and are especially suited for 
corsage bouquets. Light pink shading to 
yellow at the base of the petals. Each, 50c. 
GOLDEN SALMON. A recent novelty, and 
one of the most attractive Polyanthas yet 
introduced. The flowers are large, semi¬ 
double, thickly clustered and long flower¬ 
ing season. Color a beautiful red salmon 
overlaid with a sheen of orange and gold, 
the light eye daintily conspicuous. Ea. 50c. 
KAREN PAULSON. This new rose is one 
of the most brilliant of all the bedding 
roses. Bud medium size, globular, the

ing period lasts from June to late fall in

hardy and resistant to effects of bright 
sun so noticeable in some tea rnu hybrid 
tea roses. Each, 70c. 
TIP TOP (Baby Doll). Miniature flowers 
of wonderful form and produced in great

bedding purposes. Very free blooming.

or pergolas. The roses listed below are 
selected to meet these needs.
