Sunshine Is One of the Most fragrant of AH Roses 
POLYANTH AS 
W ITHIN recent years, so many improvements have been made 
in this class tiiat many of the varieties no longer resemble 
the old Baby Ramblers, and we have been forced to sub¬ 
divide tills class. 
Tile small-flowered varieties may be used for low edgings and 
mass plants; the large-flowered varieties for hedges and large mass 
effects. Both kinds are indispensable wliere constant summer bloom 
is required in the garden. One may choose heights of 1 to 4 feet in 
an unlimited range of colors with the assurance that tliey will out- 
flower 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 (•). 
Planting Distance: Average 15 inches. Dwarf types, 12 inches. 
Strong growers, 18 inches. 
Height: Average 24 inches. Dwarf types, 12 to 18 Inches. Strong 
growers, 30 to 40 inches. 
Pruning: For average and dwarf types prune lightly and thin 
out dead wood. Strong growers may be cut back to 4 to 6 eyes.
