Old-fashioned Roses, continued 
Che Hamask Rose 
Rosa Damascena 
continued 
MME. HARDY. (Hardy, 1832.) This is the 
much-sought-for pure white Damask Rose. 
It is cup-shaped, large and full, and bears 
heavily in spreading clusters. We consider it 
the most beautiful and fragrant of the white 
Old-fashioned Roses. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
PROFESSEUR EMILE PERROT. (Turbat, 
1931.) A delicate soft pmk, very fragrant 
Damask Rose brought to France from Persia 
by Professeur Perrot. Grown in great quan- 
tities for the perfume industry. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00. 
ROSA DAMASCENA. The original Rose of 
Damascus. Yields double rose-pink blooms 
with 18 or more petals. When fully open, the 
golden stamens add to its Joveliness. Pleasingly 
nt deliciously fragrant. $2.00 each; 3 for 
5.00. 
YORK AND LANCASTER. Semi-double; ir- 
regular, fragrant bloom of pale pink or white 
with a few occasional solid reddish pink petals 
on the same flower. Rather long pale green 
branches of diffuse habit. Frequently con- 
fused with the striped Rosa Mundi, which is 
far more spectacular. We have the true 
York and Lancaster. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
ROSE, PATRICIA MACOUN 
It has often been stated by Mr. Bobbink that 
here we have a Rose of rare beauty that some 
day may rival in popularity many of the better- 
known flowering shrubs. The pure white blooms 
are about 2 inches across and open gracefully to 
show the golden yellow stamens which illuminate 
the clusters of as many as thirty buds. It grows 
to about 6 feet and while not exactly self-sup- 
porting as, for instance, Deutzia or Philadelphus, 
is easily trained as a pillar or against a light 
trellis. Here in northern New Jersey it is very 
hardy and robust and even in cold parts of 
Canada it never freezes back hard enough to 
prevent its ability to produce a 6-foot shrub 
clothed in its chaste white and gold every May 
and early June. The glossy foliage gives the 
final finesse and refinement to this gem. The 
present supply is good but limited; m years to 
come we shall grow many, many more. $2 00 
each; 3 for $5.00.

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 pmk, paling at the edges soon after 
opening. The name “Cabbage” is suggested 
by the incurved globular form—not the size. 
The blooms are no larger than a small Hybrid 
Tea flower. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
KONIGIN VON DANEMARK. (Booth Bros., 
1898.) Flowers medium size, very full, fra- 
grant, flesh-pink with darker center. Vigorous. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00.

flower of velvety cerise with garnet reflexes. 
Very distinct and shows the true Cabbage 
Rose formation. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
PROLIFERA OF REDOUTE. Resembles the 
old Cabbage Rose, except that its sepals are 
Jonger and more fringed. Often bears another 
flower in the center of the blossom. A curiosity. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
RED PROVENCE. (Old.) Clear rose-pink 
flowers, deeper in center. These are of large 
size, cupped in form, and are very fragrant.

rose-pink; Jarge and full, with raised center. 
Vigorous growth. The Rose of the old Dutch 
painters of still life. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
VARIEGATA DI BOLOGNA.  (Bonfiglioli, 
1909.) This is the Iargest of all striped Roses 
and shows the pure white background with 
purplish red veinings on each petal. Plant 
makes a spectacular pillar or Jarge, vigorous 
shrub. The blooms are the true Jarge, double, 
globular, Cabbage Rose type. $2.00 each; 3 
for $5.00. 
VIERGE DE CLERY. (Baron Veillard, 1888.) 
Snow-white blooms of large size; exceedingly 
fragrant. Considered the best white Cabbage 
Rose in existence. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 

DWARF FAIRY ROSES 
These charming little Roses, sometimes called 
“Miniatures,” seldom grow more than a foot 
high. Though small and dainty, they are com- 
) paratively hardy, even in cold climates. They 
should never be planted right mm among other 
everblooming Roses, although they do make nice 
edging plants for the small Rose-garden. 
OAKINGTON RUBY. Deep crimson buds 
opening to ruby-red—lovely, non-fading color 
with no white center. This is a lovely red 
Fairy Rose. Potted plants. 75 cts. each. 
POMPON DE PARIS (Pompon Ancien). 
The plants are small; buds pomted; flowers a 
deep pink. Potted plants. 75 cts. each.
