foliage weaknesses we propagate only two, the healthiest of these very tiny roses. 
ROSA ROULETTI—Of rich pink, blooming constantly and heavily on a wee plant that 
starts to bloom when it is about two inches high, and which reaches a maximum height 
of about six inches. Rouletti is perfectly fitted for rock gardens and for most unusual 
and satisfactory edgings for the rose bed or perennial border.......------------------------- $0.50 
OAKINGTON RUBY—Ruby red, with blooms a trifle larger than Rouletti, blooming 
heavily and constantly; this makes a “big’’ bush about ten inches high and as much 
through, compact and graceful __-_-.--.-------e----ceeceenses ese stenr nc cen tore em nec rccrecc $ .60 
HYBRID PERPETUALS AND OLD ROSES 
Rose growers in cold difficult rose climates need hybrid perpetuals and can use many 
of them to greatest advantage. It is true that the average Hybrid Tea rose can be grown 
in very cold climates if it is hilled up in winter with earth to the height of eight inches 
or a foot, and the mound kept frozen all winter. However, the hardy hybrid perpetuals 
need of course less care in general, and some of them produce blooms of the finest Hybrid 
Tea quality. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY—I propagate this famous rose for the sentiment connected with 
it, and for the intense rich fragrance. However, only under greenhouse conditions is 
it the wonderful rose of which the name calls up pictures, Plant it in partial shade,
