Old-fashioned Roses, continued 
The Damask Rose 
Rosa Damascena 
The Damask Roses are very hardy 
and make robust growth, clothed with 
large, rough, light green Jeaves. Their 
owers 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.

of 10% on any 25 or more Roses

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 Geallicas, 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 $2.00 each, unless otherwise 
noted, less quantity discount of 10% on 
any 25 or more Roses 
BELLE ISIS. (Parmentier.) Small double 
flowers of pale flesh-pink. A dainty Rose 
from long ago. 
BOULE DE NANTEUIL. Large, very double, 
deep pink to red, outside of petals silvery pink. 
CAPTAIN WILLIAMS. Very double; medium- 
sized; good dark red. 
CARDINAL DE RICHELIEU. (Laffay, 1840.) 
Very dark, double flowers of medium size and 
extremely handsome and rich in coloring. In 
some lights the deeper violet tones are almost 
blue, and in others they are purple verging to 
velvety black. 
COMTE DE NANTEUIL. 
Very double; dark red. 
COUPE D’HEBE. (Laffay, 1840.) From deep 
rose-pink to pale tones; full cupped flower; 
very fragrant. Vigorous growth. A very 
distinct and famous old Rose. 
DESIREE PARMENTIER. A large loose flower 
which is quite flat. Color is between light red 
and deep pink. Its most unusual form and 
spectacular color combination always draws 
the attention of lovers of Old-fashioned Roses. 
DUC DE GUICHE. Large, double flowers of a 
curious orchid shade. An oddity of great 
interest. 
DUMORTIER. Very double; light red with 
silvery reflexes. Most attractive and distinct. 
This historical French Rose is always prized 
for its fresh, brilliant colormg. 
GEORGES VIBERT. (Robert, 1853.) One of 
the most striking variegated Roses—bright 
purplish red broken by white streaks and 
stripes. 
GROS PROVINS PANACHE. Some of the 
flowers are violet streaked with white, others 
are white streaked with violet. One rare and 
very desirable Rose. Supply exhausted 
until fall 1946. 
HYPATHIA. Large, open-centered flowers of 
bright rose-pink spotted white and with a 
whitish center. 
JEANNETTE. (Descemet.) Double flowers of 
bright light red, fading gradually to light 
rose-pink. An attractive variety. While the 
French term this a “light red,” it is really a 
gorgeous combination of vermilion and old- 
rose-pink, very similar to the popular Hybrid 
Tea, Margaret McGredy. Jeannette is worthy 
of a place in every collection of Old-fashioned 
Roses. 
LA RUBANEE. (Vibert, 1845.) This, one of the 
most popular of the old varieties, we find 
identical to those we receive from time to 
time under the name of Village Maid, Pan- 
achée Double and Perle des Panachées. It is 
one of the famous striped Roses. Rose and 
purple veinings on a white background. 
MARIE TUDOR. Described in old catalogues 
as cherry-red or cerise, but the variety we have 
under this name is salmon-pink, blotched with 
rose. 
(Quetier, 1852.)

flowers of white and lilac, changing to pale pink. 
MME. D’HEBRAY. (Pradel, 1857.) The

pink and lilac. A very beautiful variety likely 
to turn pure white.

sized, very double flowers of pale blush-pink, 
striped with red and crimson. Resembles a 
scarlet bizarre carnation. 
PEPITA. (Moreau fils.) Lilac-pink or violet- 
red striped white. Varies.

white, striped pink. One of the most interesting 
of the small-flowered Gallicas showing the 
typical striping on a white background. 
PRESIDENT DE SEZE. (Mme. Hébert.) 
Lilac-red, shaded violet-orchid—most unusual 
color found m no other Rose. 
PRESIDENT DUTAILLY. (Dubreuil, 1888.) 
Purple-crimson flowers of large size heavily 
shaded with magenta; deep cupped form and 
very fragrant.

Roses and, in fact, there is Gallica blood in 
most every modern hybrid Rose. Large, 
single, dark pink flowers on erect bushes 244 
to 3 feet tall. Cut them for home decoration, 
arrange them in a Jow bowl, and you have a 
“Teplica” of the finest paintings by the old 
masters. $1.50 each. 
ROSA GALLICA CONDITORUM. (West- 
ern Asia.) Rather large, tawny pink flowers 
of intense fragrance. Hardy and very free 
flowering. The petals of this Rose are used 
for condiments in the Orient. Fruits are 
slender, miniature red pears. $1.50 each. 
ROSA MUNDI. (Vibert, 1875.) Rather large, 
semi-double flowers of white or pale pink, 
broadly striped red and dark rose. Some petals 
may be all white, others all red, some half 
white and half red, some evenly striped. Alto- 
gether they form one of the loveliest color com- 
binations, making this one of our most striking 
Roses. This is the Rose that is usually sold as 
York and Lancaster. $1.50 each. 
TRICOLORE DE FLANDRE. (Van Houtte, 
1846.) The double, well-shaped flowers are 
lilac-white, striped with light red, purple, 
and crimson. A fragrant and very highly 
regarded variety.

touches of rhodamine-purple. The flowers are 
usually in pairs.

able for Railway Express delivery. 
Visit the Nursery to see the Roses growing 
and blooming in large pots for late trans- 
planting. The hundreds of varieties we grow 
may be viewed in a comparatively small area 
instead of walking through miles of dusty 
nursery rows. All Roses now potted were in 
the Nursery for two years. 
The varieties available are practically all 
those listed in the Everblooming Hybrid Tea, 
Floribunda, Polyantha, and Climbing Rose 
classes but no others.

All are in 6-in. Clay Pots. Add 35 cts. to 
the each price, e. ¢., a $1.25 dormant Rose 
will cost $1.60. Specimens in 9-in. pots
