Shrub Roses 
NEW SHRUB ROSES 
Eos Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The flowers are warm, glowing sunset-red in early stages becoming a 
lively red paling to white in the center. This charming sparkling range 
of tints reminds one of the colors displayed in the sky at dawn. Named 
for the Greek goddess. The dull dark green foliage forms a perfect foil 
for the semi-double flowers which are produced in masses. Ultimate 
height about 5 feet. 
Lipstick Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
A “shrub’’ Rose which will reach a height of 5 to 6 feet. It blooms 
continuously during the summer, forming large clusters of semi-double 
flowers. The color is a clear cerise with salmon shadings. This European 
variety certainly is a most interesting addition. There are so few tall 
growing Roses; it will be most welcome. 
Nevada Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
A superb new shrub Rose which grows about 3 to 4 feet tall. In spring 
it is covered with enormous nearly single flowers 5 inches across. The 
buds are soft pink gradually fading to snow-white. The superb beauty 
of the flower is enhanced by a large bunch of golden yellow anthers. 
The plant is well covered with a healthy trouble-free pale green foliage. 
Here is a superb novelty for the shrubbery border. 
Skyrocket Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
A real everblooming Shrub Rose producing enormous flower clusters 
throughout the entire season. Makes a magnificent display with its 
large clusters composed of medium-sized brilliant red blooms. Of sturdy, 
upright habit which makes it most desirable planted either by itself or 
in combination with various kinds of shrubs. A forerunner of a distinet 
new race. 
ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and 
ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, with- 
standing almost anything. 
They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems, and by their tough, 
curiously wrinkled or rugose foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges or 
shrubberies in seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very 
severe. Many are everbloomers. 
Some of the Hybrids do not have the true Rugosa foliage, but this does 
not mean that they are not as hardy. Nothing could be hardier than the 
Grootendorst types, yet their foliage does not appear to have much Rugosa 
in it. 
Those particularly good for hedges are marked with an *. 
Planting Distance: Hedges——11/ to 2 feet. Shrubs—3 to 4 feet.
