Rosedam's Worst Prolifie Creation 
Few people realize the value of these exceedingly fine Roses. They will 
succeed where no others will, both in poor soil and partial shade. They are 
extremely hardy and do not require winter banking. They are always in 
blossom, and may be used any place—in shrub borders, in mass planting, as 
accent in a Hybrid Tea Rose bed. In fact, they are one of the most versatile 
and useable plants offered in our catalog. Grow 2 to 2¥ feet high. 
As we definitely believe in mass plantings of these, we are offering the two 
non-patented varieties at prices we are sure will enable anyone to afford a 
generous group. 
Lafayette Improved. A strong, sturdy grower bearing great numbers of rosy- 
ted blooms in clusters. Always in bloom. Always a show. 
Triomphe de Orleanais. Myriads of small, double, brilliant red flowers borne in 
huge clusters on sturdy stems to 2 feet tall. It seems they never finish bloom- 
ing as they will sometimes show their brilliant color through the snow in late 
November and early December. 
Prices on these two outstanding varieties: $1.00 each; $2.50 for any 3: 
$7.50 for any 10. 


LaFayette 
Improved 
In addition to these older varieties, we are offering the following new 
PATENTED FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Betty Prior. (Plant Patent No. 340.) Great clusters of red buds open lively red, 
gradually changing to a delicate shell-pink. A rugged grower, always in 
bloom. 
Donald Prior. (Plant Patent No. 337.) Many clusters of brilliant, wine-red flowers. 
Buds are marvelous for cutting. Lustrous, dark green foliage. 
Permanent Wave. (Plant Patent No. 107.) The deep rose-pink flowers are borne 
profusely and open from artistic buds of a lovely carmine color. Each flower 
is beautifully waved and crinkled. Dark purplish foliage; sturdy, compact 
plants. 
Pinocchio. (Plant Patent No. 484.) The word ‘’everblooming” is hardly adequate 
for, this lovely little Rose. The 24-inch plants are always aglow with lovely 
doutle flowers. Rich salmon touched with gold in the bud, opening slowly to 
clear, soft pink exhibition blooms very much like miniature Hybrid Teas. The 
exotic fruity fragrance is delightful during the long life of the cut blooms. Foli- 
age is rich, dark green and highly resistant to disease. 
Summer Snow. (Plant Patent No. 417.) Beautiful clusters of snow-white flowers. 
The most prolific of all white Floribundas. Tall growing and very hardy; 
blooms up to frost. Very useful for accenting. Fragrant. 
Prices above 5 varieties: $1.25 each; $3.30 for 3 (of 1 kind).

GOLDEN ROSE OF CHINA 
Here is an old-time favorite that, we fear, has been 
much neglected by the average planter. We can 
think of no Rose or shrub that will give as much 
continuous satisfaction as the Golden Rose of China. 
The plant itself is beautiful the year around and when 
it is enhanced by glorious display of bright golden 
flowers in the springtime, it is a sight to behold. 
In the fall it “pays off again” with a fine display 
of coral-red seedpods or “hips.” This beautiful plant 
should be in every garden—as a background for 
the Rose bed, in the shrub border, or best of all, 
set out as a specimen by itself. It will grow to 6 
feet tall and 7- or 8-ft. spread, or it may be kept to 
smaller size with judicious pruning. We know of no 
plant that gives so much for so little, both in original 
cost and in care. Sturdy, 2-year plants, $1.25 each; 
Golderitoasiok Ching’ $3.45 for 3. Permanent Wave
