variety are heavily mossed, and the color 
of the open flowers is a lovely purple-pink 
shaded with salmon. 
Cramoisi Veloute. Large, double blooms 
of dark scarlet. Buds are only slightly 
mossed but open flowers are beautiful. 
Crested Moss. This Rose was found grow- 
Ing on a convent wall in Friburg, Switzer- 
land, in 1827. It has been called Cristata 
and Chapeau de Napoleon. Although it 
Is not a true Moss, the calyx of the bloom 
is so remarkably fringed and frilled that 
It cannot be assigned to any other class. 
The flowers are large, full, and bright rose- 
pink. A very desirable and popular 
variety. 75 cts. each. 
Delille. (Robert, 1852.) Semi-double blooms 
of blush-white. Beautifully mossed buds. 
Our plants furnish repeat bloom about 
the middle of July.

flowers of camellia form and mature 
salmon-pink. 





Eugene Verdier. (E. Verdier, 1872.)

fine form and sweet fragrance. Light red 
with a deeper center. Vigorous plants 
with tea-like foliage. 
Gloire des Mousseux. (Laffay, 1852.) 
Old authorities claimed this to be finest 
of all Mosses. The buds are splendidly 
mossed and the imbricated pink flowers are 
very lovely. Plants are vigorous and pro- 
ductive.

vigorous Moss at least 41% feet tall with 
an abundance of heavily mossed buds and 
lovely crimson flowers.

which have survived. 75 cts. each.

1854.) Large, flat, semi-double flowers of 
clear pink, edged with silver. A tall, 
vigorous grower; very free flowering. 
Accepted and admired as a favorite Moss 
Rose. 
Malvina. (V. Verdier, 1841.) The date is 
probably wrong because this variety is 
described in Mrs. Gore’s Manual of 1838 
as bearing clusters of large, well-formed 
very double flowers, resembling a China 
Rose, of a handsome, pale pink shade 
tinted lighter at the edges. Later authori- 
ties call the flower lilac or ‘“‘roseate.” 
Ours is pink. 
Mousseux Ancien. The delicate pink flowers 
are shaded darker toward center. The 
sepals are beautifully mossed. One of the 
finest of the Old Mosses and worthy of a 
place in your garden. 
Nuits d’Young. (Laffay, 1845, 1851, 1854.)

writers described In many different ways:

most black; purple-chestnut, almost 
violet; purple-maroon; purple-red, 
a sullied shade; deep velvety purple; 
deep purple. 
Old Pink Moss (Common or Old 
Moss; Communis). This is the 
original old Moss Rose which came 
to England from Holland about 1596. 
It is still one of the finest varieties; 
large, globular, pale rose-pink flowers. 
75 cts. each. 
Salet. (Robert, 1854.) One of the 
Perpetual-flowering Mosses which

special care. The flowers are rosy 
pink with blush edges. The autumn 
bloom is unusually good. 75 cts. each.
