POLYANTHA OR “BABY RAMBLER” 
ROBES 
This class of roses is steadily growing in favor 
owing to their constant flowering qualities and hardi¬ 
ness, varieties like Else Poulsen and Karen Poulsen 
are splendid for hedges but all are admirable for 
bedding. The name “Floribunda” has been recently 
applied to certain of the stronger growers but as the 
entire family are really equally free flowering, the 
new title should be applied to all or none. The name 
“Baby Rambler” often used is rather inappropriate 
for roses which do not “ramble” at all. 
Anne Poulsen. (Polyantha.) (Poulsen, 1935.) Large 
semi-double scarlet-crimson flowers which are fra¬ 
grant, produced all summer, plants are husky with 
splendid foliage. The finest of the Poulsen roses. 
75 cents. 
Betty Prior. (Prior, 1935.) An improved form of the 
very popular Else Poulsen. Outside of petals dark 
carmine, inside several shades lighter, vigorous 
grower. $1.00. 
Cameo. (De Ruiter, 1932.) Shell pink and salmon 
with a golden glow, a lovely variety. 
Chatillon Rose. Vivid light salmon pink, large heads 
of semi-double flowers. 
Donald Prior. (Prior, 1934.) Semi-double cup-shaped 
flowers, bright scarlet in color flushed crimson. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
Else Poulsen. One of Poulsens grandest introduc¬ 
tions, semi-double bright pink flowers in large 
trusses a constant bloomer. 
Golden Salmon. Of a lovely golden salmon color. 
Gruss an Aachen. Different from all other Polyanthas 
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 combination 
of light pink and salmon yellow. A wonderful 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 becomming snow white when open. 
75 cents. 
Karen Poulsen. (Poulsen, 1933.) The most brilliant 
of all the Poulsen roses, flowers are single, large 
and a brilliant scarlet in color, an ever bloomer. 
Kirsten Poulsen. A grand companion to Else Poulsen, 
brilliant scarlet flowers in large trusses. 
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. 75 cents. 
World’s Fair. (Kordes, 1930.) This splendid variety 
we tried last year and found it excellent in every 
way. It received the highest award amongst the 
Polyanthas in Americas in 1939. The bushy plants 
are smothered with clusters of large velvety black¬ 
ish scarlet blooms which are quite fragrant and the 
petals circle a mass of golden stamens. $1.00 each, 
$10.00 doz.
