Polyantha Rose, Carillon 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
The varieties which belong to this class make heavy bushes 3 to 6 feet 
tall and bear a profusion of fine, bold flowers in early Summer and a few 
scanty blooms from then until Autumn when a fair second crop is produced. 
Hardier than Hybrid Teas. 
Prices: Dormant plants, 75c. each. Potted plants, $1.00 each

tifully pointed flowers of scarlet-crimson; intensely fragrant.

Ward—buff, salmon, and yellow. The large blooms are artistically nested

SHRUB ROSES 
Under this heading we are grouping those strong growing Roses that are 
quite unsuitable for Rose gardens and that are nevertheless invaluable for 
use as accents in mixed borders or for mass planting either with other shrubs 
or by themselves. The Rugosa varieties, at the end of the list, are especially 
recommended for seashore planting, where they are so often and so effec¬ 
tively used as windbreaks. 
Harison’s Yellow. The fine, old-fashioned bush Rose which grows in old 
farmyards and gardens all over New England. Thousands of bright 
yellow, semi-double flowers in long sprays adorn its spreading branches 
in early Summer. $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen 
Rosa Hugonis. An extremely decorative shrub Rose, producing an 
abundance of long, wide-spreading branches, each buried in a load of 
single, pale yellow flowers in very early Spring. One of the finest orna¬ 
mental shrubs. Strong plants. 75c. each, $7.50 per dozen 
Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Huge plants of astonishing vigor, with soft,

hardy, and heavily branched, bearing clusters of small, fringed, bright 
scarlet flowers throughout the season. 75c. each, $7.50 per dozen 
Pink Grootendorst. Exactly like F. J. Grootendorst, except that the 
flowers are clear flesh-pink. 75c. each, $7.50 per dozen

Siberia. The large, single, crepe-textured flowers are bright rosy-red, 
unceasingly produced throughout the entire season. A very handsome 
shrub as a border plant. 60c. each, $6.00 per dozen 
Rosa Rugosa Alba. Identical in plant habit with the above, but the 
flowers are pure white 75c. each, $7.50 per dozen 
POLYANTHA or CLUSTER ROSES 
These little bush Roses are so admirable for flower garden planting— 
regardless of whether other Roses are grown or not—that a real mystery 
exists as to why they are not more widely known. They have splendid 
plant habit, great vigor and hardiness; they flower continuously from 
June until frost; and they are surprisingly disease-resistant. Plant them 
as individual specimens, in small groups, as colorful low hedges, or for mass 
color effects. We recommend them highly.

GROUND COVER ROSES 
These are varieties of low trailing habit that are invaluable for covering 
waste ground, old stone walls, outcropping ledges or embankments. They 
are even more beautiful than Climbers when used with artistry and under¬ 
standing. Thousands of people would use them if they knew about them.

clusters of semi-double, deep grenadine-pink blooms on low, arching
