MICHELL’S 
CLUSTER ROSES 
LARGE-FLOWERING 
POLYANTHA or 
FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Dormant plants: Each, $1.50; 3 for 
$4.00; 12 for $15.00, except Ming Toy— 
each, $2.00; 3 for $5.25; 12 for $20.00. 
CECILE BRUNNER. Charming light 
pink flowers shading into yellow at 
the base. Dainty in size and lovely 
in color. It is the perfect Rose for 
nosegays and corsages, also splendid 
for borders and massing. 
CHEERIO. Superb in every respect. 
A Rose of outstanding merit whether 
used for mass planting in beds or 
borders, or to give an individual ac- 
cent here or there in the garden, 
carrying a superabundance of bril- 
liant double flowers gracefully ar- 
ranged. The flower petals are clear 
mallow-pink shading to Tyrian rose 
at the base with the reverse or out- 
side a luminous rose-madder that 
creates an effective color balance. 
FLORADORA. Plant Patent pending. 
For scintillating brilliance this new 
Rose surpasses all others. The color 
is bright cinnabar with shades of 
searlet and Geranium-red. It can 
only be matched by the most bril- 
liant Azaleas which bloom for two 
weeks in the spring while the vivid, 
exciting blooms of this new Rose are 
borne continuously for five months 
in the year. 
GLORIA MUNDI. The most brilliant 
orange-scarlet imaginable. Never 
fades. Showy, well-formed, double. 
MING TOY. New Polyantha Rose. 
Beauty of detail brings forth all 
the fine qualities and loveliness 
centered in the new Polyantha 
Rose, “Ming Toy.” The fifty or 
more petals are so precisely placed 
that the high-centered, brilliant 
rose colors may be fairly com- 
pared with the finest Camellias in 
form. The rugged plants abound 
with health, which accounts for the 
tremendous energy displayed in 
the constant production of Roses. 
This energy is manifested in the 
cut sprays as well as the plants. 
Close observation of its habits and 
character lead us to believe that 
Ming Toy will be found paramount 
among all Polyanthas. Each, 
$2.00; 3 for $5.25; 12 for $20.00. 
ROSENELFE. Graceful clusters of dain- 
ty La-France-pink flowers superbly 
suited for cutting and table decora- 
tion. The handsomely shaped small 
buds or open blooms lend themselves 
perfectly to any kind of decoration. 
In the garden they never fail to draw 
attention. Color holds up well in hot- 
test sun. Rosenelfe is a fine grower, 
has excellent foliage. One of the best 
in this group. 
SPRINGTIME. A Rose that will thrill 
you with its exquisite pink shade of 
apple blossom with lighter center. 
Forms elegant impressive flower 
sprays, composed of semi-double cup- 
shaped blooms. Superb for cutting. 
WHITE FINCH. The fine clusters of 
flowers are pure white. Especially 
valuable for contrasts such as in com- 
bination with Ming Toy or Floradora.

HARDY CLIMBING and 
RAMBLER ROSES 
As ornamental plants for covering 
verandas, porches, side walls, pillars, 
fences, etc., these are unequalled, call- 
ing forth more admiration than any- 
thing else that can be used. The large- 
flowered varieties require no pruning 
beyond the removal of very old and 
wornout canes, and the thinning out of 
weak growth. Canes becoming too long 
may be shortened. 
The Ramblers, or  small-flowered 
cluster type, should have the old canes 
removed at the base as soon as they 
finish blooming, training the new canes 
into place for next year’s bloom. 
Dormant plants, except where noted: 
Each, $2.00; 3 of one variety, $5.50. 
BLAZE. Pat. No. 10. Scarlet-crimson 
blooms. 
DOUBLOONS. Pat. No. 152. Here is a 
gloriously lovely climbing yellow 
Rose, noted for hardiness and vigor- 
ous, healthy growth, and furnished 
with dark green leathery foliage. The 
shapely buds open to large firm- 
textured blooms of _ saffron-yellow 
with clean, spicy fragrance. 
MARY WALLACE. Large pink flowers 
with a luminous’ sheen; strong 
growth. 
NEW DAWN. Pat No. 1. Blush-pink 
with delightful fragrance. Blooms 
continuously from early June until 
frost. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. No other 
Rose in any class can compare with 
it for brilliancy of color, which is a 
vivid scarlet, that is maintained with- 
out burning or bleaching until the 
petals fall. 
SILVER MOON. Midseason white. 
Great silvery white, semi-double 
blooms, with a foil of dark leathery 
foliage.
