Old-Fashioned Roses 
VERY grown man and woman cherishes some memory of the fragrant, unsophisti- 
E cated charm of the Roses of long ago. Even the most unsentimental gardener 
has an uneasy feeling that something precious may have disappeared with the 
old-time Roses, for surely flowers so beloved centuries ago must have been worthy of 
affection and regard, as much asthe songs they inspired and the memories they have left. 
Regardless of their sentimental value they have many sterling qualities, not the 
least of which is their genuine old-rose perfume ofttimes rare in modqrn Roses. What 
if their flowers do not have the regularity, the finish, the texture, or the perfections as 
we call it of the modern bloom? The limits of beauty extend beyond the boundaries of 
modern taste. 
Planted in mixed borders simulating old-fashioned gardens, they may be given a 
place apart from the Rose Garden where they may flower among the wallflowers, the 
daffodils, and the primroses, blending their fragrance with the lilies and pinks and all 
the delightful odds and ends which make the true charm of the garden.

Che French Rose 
Rosa gallica 
A century ago the only hardy 
garden Roses were a few groups of 
once-blooming types and the most 
popular of them were the Gallicas, 
or so-called French Roses. 
The flowers are beautiful in a dis- 
tinctly different way and most of 
them are fragrant. We have re- 
tained the varieties which are so un- 
usual they should be in every Rose- 
lover’s garden. 
These Roses are $2.00 each, unless 
otherwise noted, less quantity dis-
