rose, seldom more than 6 inches high. 
Covered with sweet scented, double pink 
roses, from % to 1 inch across, from May 
to Oct. This is the true plant, propagated 
from stock imported from Europe. Very 
hardy, making it invaluable for alpine 
garden work. 35c and 50c each. 
ROSMARINUS officinalis—An excellent ever- 
green shrub-like plant for dry places in 
the rockery or border. Spikes of leafy, 
grey and green, aromatic foliage, with 
small clusters of lilac flowers. Should 
be pruned back each year. 35c and 50c

6 inches. 50c each. 

ROSA ROULETTI 
SALIX *anglorum—aA tiny, prostrate shrub 
with small glossy leaves. The flowers 
and seed heads stand well above the 
leaves and give the plant a touch of in- 
dividuality which compensates for lack 
of showy flowers. This is one of the more 
rare Salix, never having been offered to 
the public before. Light shade and mois- 
ture during the summer months. $1.50 
each, 
bocki—A rare species, remaining very 
dwarf if grown in pots or tubs, or hav- 
_ing its roots confined in some way in 
the garden, seldom more than 18 to 24 
inches high when mature. But it does 
attain a height if from 5 to 6 feet if 
planted in good soil in the garden. Full 
sun or very light shade, and produces its 
attractive catkins in autumn before the 
leaves fall. 75c and $1.00 each. 
*brachycarpa — Another dwarf Willow of- 
fered for the first time. In its native 
habitat, (the Gaspe’ Peninsula of East- 
ern Quebec Province) seldom exceeds 
12 inches in height, but may grow taller 
with us in the garden. Both sides of the 
leaves are covered by dense, silky hairs, 
which gives the plant a silvery-gray cast. 
When the tiny seeds with their long 
thistle-down hairs burst from the cap- 
sule, tuffs of cotton seem to have miracu- 
lously appeared on the plant. Culture 
same as for S. anglorum. $1.50 each.

in one spot, high up in the White Moun- 
tains of New Hampshire. Not difficult
