BORDER ROSES AND ROSES FOR MASSING, ETC. 
Cluster flowered polyanthas have numerous uses; as borders, massed groups and beds, 
for spotting among shrubbery, and last but not least for flower arrangements ranging all 
the way from the great handsome clusters of those such as Orange Triumph and Hythe 
Cluster to the miniature perfection of Baby Alberic, etc, Among the roses listed on the 
following page will also be found the majority of your corsage roses. 
Most polyantha roses are designed for massed effect of color, or for spotting among 
shrubbery for a bright color note, and are effective only when massed, in groups of not 
less than six plants. 
BABY ALBERIC—The finest white double polyantha, with perfectly pointed snowy buds 
opening slowly into extremely lasting very double blossoms of show form in miniature.

KAREN POULSEN—This is the best single red poly by far, all angles considered. It is 
just the thing to spot amongst the shrubs, about three in a place, for red color all 
summer long, and because of this use I cannot refuse to sell three, though I ask that 
you do not buy less than six for any other purpose. Also, this is the best single red 
rose, as Vesuvius gets muddy in the warm weather. $1.00 each up to 6. Six for $5.50 
MARY GUTHRIE—This dainty rose can be classed either as a single or a polyantha, 
with big waved unfading blooms of a clear deep pink almost covering the plant con- 
stantly. Extremely healthy, this top border rose is the only pink polyantha to hold its 
beautiful color. Can be planted anywhere and will be satisfactory._.......... Six for $5.50 
NIGGER BOY 
For years an intensive search has been carried on for the perfect polyantha, designed 
to be used as a border rose or a rose for massing; a cluster flowered, extremely heavy 
blooming rose, preferably of compact growth, with completely healthy foliage. A plant 
so foolproof it could be planted in beds or masses to bloom continually, with an absolute 
minimum of spraying, shearing, or grooming. 
Hybridizers all over the world, especially Kordes in Germany, and Poulsen in Den- 
mark, searched and worked continually for the perfect polyantha. A great flood, many 
of them patented, have come on the market recently, ranging all the way from terrible to 
good. Large blooms were particularly striven for. Kordes always announced that his 
latest creation had at least 4-inch blooms, which always turned out to be 2-inch blooms 
when grown in this country.
