Old-fashioned Roses, continned 
Che French Rose 
Rosa gallica 
A century ago the only hardy garden 
Roses were a few groups of once-blooming 
types and probably 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; also the plants are healthy 
and hardy. 
We have retained a few varieties which 
are so splendid that they should be in 
every Rose-lover’s garden. 
These Roses are $2 each, unless otherwise 
noted, less quantity discount on page 22

flowers of white and lilac, changing to pale pink.

binations, making this one of our most striking 
Roses. This is the Rose that is usually sold as DAMASCENA 
York and Lancaster. $1.25 each.

Rosa damascena 
The Damask Roses are very hardy 
and make robust growth, clothed with 
large, rough, light green leaves. ‘Their 
flowers are very freely produced and are 
generally borne in trusses of three or 
more. The fame of their powerful fra- 
grance is second only to that of the 
Cabbage and the Moss Roses.

which will be used to complete the orders without 
delay through correspondence.
