Old-Fashioned Roses, continued 
Che Damask Rose 
Rosa Pamascena 
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.

regular, fragrant bloom of pale pink or white 
with a few occasional solid reddish pink petals 
on the same flower. Rather long pale green

the true York and Lancaster. $2.00 each. 
Che Cabbage Rose 
Rosa centifolia 
The Cabbage or Provence Rose has 
been grown in gardens for so many 
centuries that nobody knows where or 
when it originated. It is probably the 
most fragrant of all Roses and has been 
grown in certain favorable climates in 
Europe for ages to manufacture rose- 
water and attar of roses.

CABBAGE (Rosa centifolia). This is the original 
Provence Rose, with double, nodding flowers 
of light pink, paling at the edges soon after

by the incurved globular form—not the size. 
The blooms are no larger than a small Hybrid 
Tea flower. $1.50 each.

1898.) Flowers medium size, very full, fra- 
grant, flesh-pink with darker center. Vigorous.

Rose formation. $2.00 each.

old Cabbage Rose, except that its sepals are 
longer and more fringed. Often bears another 
flower in the center of the blossom. A curiosity.

shrub. The blooms are the true large, double, 
globular, Cabbage Rose type. $2.00 each.

Special Introductory Offer of Ol-F ashioned Roses 
In order to popularize these Gems of the Rose world, beloved 
by all collectors who already grow them, we have chosen these 
eight outstanding varieties in the four main classes. Their blooms 
typify the characteristic form, color, fragrance, and foliage of the 
very best in Old-fashioned Roses. 
Plant and treat them as low-growing shrubs attaining a 
height of 3 to 5 feet regulated by yearly pruning or “thinning 
out.” They may be set together in a “collection corner” or 
planted as specimens to liven what may otherwise be a dull 
shrubbery border.
