DEPENDABLE GARDEN ROSES 
By all means have Roses in your garden—Roses to cut and bring indoors where they may be enjoyed more intimately 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Ordinary garden conditions, a 
soil that will grow good vegetables, and reasonable care will pro¬ 
duce surprisingly good blossoms from June until heavy frosts. 
No flower approaches the Rose in continuity of bloom or has its 
appeal as a cut flower. Many new varieties have been added in 
recent years, increasing the color-range and at the same time 
making it possible to select varieties that can be grown without 
too much cultural attention. The beginner, however, will do 
well to consult one of the many good books available, such as 
“How to Grow Roses,” and join the American Rose Society. 
Multiflora Japonica is the best rootstock; it produces strong, 
fibrous root-systems and is thoroughly at home under our New 
England conditions. With few exceptions, our plants are grown 
on this stock.

without let-up from June until late Octo¬ 
ber. Awarded numerous distinctions, 
including the A. R. S. Gold Medal at the 
Hartford Test Garden, which means it is 
tops for New England gardens. In our 
opinion Crimson Glory is the best crimson 
Rose so far developed. $1.25 each, $12.50 
per doz. 
Dicksons Red. Plant Patent No. 376. A

Roses and with a delightful mellow fra¬ 
grance. A good, upright plant. $1.25 
each, $12.50 per doz. 
Eclipse. Plant Patent No. 172. A really good 
★ yellow Rose. Not too double when open, 
but it produces quantities of exquisite 
long, shapely, neat buds, just the right 
size for a button-hole Rose and, of course, 
excellent for any cut-flower usage. Hardier 
than the average, this fine, golden yellow 
Rose is also the most prolific. At its best 
in autumn. $1 each, $2.50 for 3. 
Eternal Youth. Plant Patent No. 332. There 
is sparkle to this big, soft pink Rose, and 
the plant is a vigorous, profuse bloomer. 
A touch of old-fashioned fragrance and 
splendid keeping qualities make this a 
really desirable Rose for cutting. $1.25 
each, $12.50 per doz. 
Flambeau. Plant Patent No. 374. Here is a 
Rose for those with a penchant for cut- 
flower arrangement, for which the long, 
pointed, neat buds and nicely formed 
glowing scarlet flowers are perfect. A 
distinct and delightfully fragrant Rose, for 
which we are grateful to the late Dr. 
Nicolas. $1 each. 
Gloaming. Plant Patent No. 137. Salmon- 
orange in the bud; luminous pink suffused

fragrant Rose. Excellent for cutting. $1

Rose. $1 each. 
Hector Deane. Plant Patent No. 361. This 
splendid free-flowering Rose is, we think, 
about the best of the year’s introductions.

continuous flowering. Very satisfactory in 
growth. Color is a rosy crimson in the bud, 
opening passes to a soft orange-yellow at 
the base. Exceptionally fine. $1.50 each. 
McGredy’s Pride. Plant Patent No. 339. 
Cadmium-yellow flushed pink in the open 
flower, orange and salmon-pink in the bud 
stage. This brilliantly colored sort has all 
the good growing qualities of a perfect 
garden Rose. $1.25 each.

yellow, flushed with faint scarlet on open¬ 
ing; pure deep golden yellow when open. 
Reasonably free and vigorous. $1.25 each. 
McGredy’s Triumph. Plant Patent No. 190. 
Immense, fragrant blooms, geranium-red 
in color, flushed scarlet-orange. In addition 
to its brilliant color, it is remarkable also 
for unusual freedom in flowering, and its 
strong, vigorous growth. $1.25 each, 
$3 for 3. 
Mme. Cochet-Cochet. Plant Patent No. 129.

introduction. Long, pointed, coppery 
pink buds, flushed with a tint of orange, 
open to perfectly formed, 4V£-inch, fra¬ 
grant blooms. Strong branching plant 
carries many buds and flowers to a stem. 
Hardier than average. Best possible 
criterion is that it was awarded the A. R. S. 
Gold Medal at the Hartford Rose-Gardens. 
$1 each, $2.50 for 3.

★and coppery yellow tones are in this lovely

R. M. S. Queen Mary. Plant Patent No. 249. 
The outstanding Rose introduction of its 
year. In spite of the many fine Roses in the 
salmon-pink shades, this latest addition is 
really distinct. It is a glorious rich salmon- 
pink with soft orange-pink tints at the 
petal base. The long-pointed buds open 
into very large flowers which hold their 
lovely form for a long period, and are just 
as attractive when fully developed. Good 
growing habit. Awarded five gold medals 
within two years, and other important 
awards too numerous to mention. There 
is no question as to the impression this 
Rose has made. $1.25 each, $3 for 3.
