A Sensational New Rose 
HANSEN’S THORNLESS ~ 
A Rose Without Thorns! 
Prof. N. E. Hansen is working with thousands of rose seed- 
lings and is attracting nation wide attention for his efforts 
toward producing lovely, hardy roses without thorns. 
His Thornless Rose we offer here is really thornless! Not only 
on the main stems, but on the branches as well. The plant is 
of sturdy upright growth with attractive foliage, which makes 
it desirable as a shrub, and it is perfectly hardy as it will stand 
fifty degrees below zero without protection. 
The flowers are of a delicate pink color and very fragrant. 
The bright red seed pods clinging to the red twigs, against the 
white snow in winter is very ornamental.

ALIKA ROSE 
Most Vivid Cerise Hardy Rose Known 
Alika has in its pedigree some of Rosa Gallica, which is considered one 
of the most intense of all reds. It is exceptionally hardy and it has been 
known to grow with excellent success in some of the worst soils and climates 
of our western prairies. This new Rose makes a most excellent addition to 
any rose planting, it is sturdy and strong growing and blooms over a very 
long season. 

Flowers are of good size and quite double, fragrant and lovely and al- 
together entrancing. Its long stems are almost thornless and so make an ex- 
cellent cut-flower for bouquets of beauty in your home. 
Alika is a recent introduction of Dr. N. E. Hansen and its demand has 
grown faster than its supply, but this year, for the first time we have to offer 
a fair supply of nice strong and well-branched 2-year-old plants which should 
all bloom for you this coming season.
