While the flood of new polyanthas has been deluging the rose buying world the 
perfect polyantha was quietly produced in Australia in 1931 and released in 1933— 
Nigger Boy. This remarkable rose is NOT a polyantha in lineage, but a H. T. It is a 
freak mutation in hybrid Teas with every desirable polyantha quality. It came forth 
unheralded, as did the splendid Golden Dawn, also from Australia, and was lost in the 
shuffle of new varieties until I imported it from England. 
NIGGER BOY—The perfect polyantha, has a low, compact, densely foliaged plant 18 
to 20 inches high, and as u is perfectly healthy plant is covered 
continually with masses of WOT ED GEE. Please do not order less than six

Crimson Glories, you cannot judge from single plants...............----------------- Six for $8.00 
ORANGE TRIUMPH—This is not orange, but a clear gleaming coral; the bright clus- 
tered double blooms backed by burnished foliage make it enormously decorative, both 
in the garden and when cut. The graceful trusses combine in delightful flower ar- 
rangements. The plant is extremely healthy, compact in form, low growing. 6 for $5.00 
PERLE D’OR—This is the tiny yellow rose often called the yellow Cecil Brunner. How- 
ever, the pointed little buds are not a true yellow, but that color tinged with salmon

CLIMBING ROSES 
Climbing sports of bush varieties of roses usually are larger flowered and have better 
color than the bush roses from which they sported. In the descriptions below the prefix 
Cl. denotes that the rose in question is a sport of the bush of same name. 
Climbing sports do not start to climb until conditions suit them, sometimes never, if 
you do not keep them extremely wet all summer. Explanation of the vagaries of their 
‘performance will be found in ‘“Hennessey on Roses.” 
AMERICAN PILLAR—This famed rose blossoms with immense clusters of single rich 
carmine pink blooms with a white eye, on a strong growing plant with glossy leathery 
foliage. Extremely abundant bloom coming usually in late June, followed by red hips
