MOSS ROSE (17th Century) — (See 
illustration on front page) —No 
other old fashioned rose is richer in 
its association value and the deli¬ 
ciously fragrant moss-covered buds 
have no equal! Tremendously resis¬ 
tant to disease and drouth; does well 
on sunny banks in poor soil; a rose 
that asks for little and gives much! 
We offer the Old Pink, Old Red 
and Old White; also the newer 
Golden Moss. Any kind, each 
$1.00; one each of all 4 kinds 
for $3.5 0.

MRS. JOHN LAING ( 1887)— One 
of the best of the hardy hybrid 
perpetual roses; vigorous grower; 
bears very large, very double, frag¬ 
rant, soft pink flowers on thick long 
stems, continuously. 
Papa Gontier, an old favorite Tea Rose, pink and 
crimson. 
OLD BLUSH (1796)— The China rose 
of which Moore wrote his immortal 
"Last Rose of Summer.” No other 
rose, old or new, is quite such a free and continuous bloomer. Double, fragrant, pink flowers; 
clean habits; no disease. Grows to shrub proportions. Only one-year plants available this season. 
PAPA GONTIER (1883) T —Early, profuse and continuous bloomer with fairly double pink 
flowers with crimson reverse. 
PAUL NEYRON (1869) —Probably the largest flowering rose; enormous blooms, extremely 
double, very lasting, deliciously fragrant, of a clear pink borne singly on long, strong stems; 
rich foliage and vigorous growth. 
RUGOSA— A very old species rose introduced in 1874, with rough and heavy dark green foliage 
that is quite disease resistant, and of shrubby growth. Very large, single, fragrant, pink flowers 
are borne throughout the season followed by huge, round, bright scarlet hips. Well worth a 
place in any garden; grows in any soil.

^he Old fashioned tyairy ,r Rgse^ 
The Old Fashioned Fairy Rose, sometimes sold under the name of Rouletti, is another dwarf 
rose, most desirable for the open garden as well as indoors, and very easily grown. Except during 
frost it is seldom out of bloom. Its tiny, double pink or red flowers are fragrant and about an inch 
wide, borne on wiry upright stems. The foliage is attractive and the plant resists disease and pests re¬ 
markably well. The plant grows to a height of about 12 inches. 
This little rose came from the island of Mauritius more than a century ago and although little 
known in America has for long been a favorite in England. 
STRONG SMALL PLANTS —From pots, that will quickly attain full size, (about 10 inches 
high), in the open garden to bloom in a short time, by mail prepaid, each 5 0 cents.
