All Rose prices in this catalogue are for 
2-year, No. 1 field-grown, dormant Roses. 
KING BOREAS. (The Brownells, 1940.) Pure 
yellow. Here we have a real yellow Flori- 
bunda Rose, tried and tested for seven years. 
With its vigorous, healthy plant habits, there 
is no question about its ability to produce 
dozens of blooms at a time, continuously from 
June to November. Whether borne singly or 
in candelabra clusters, the individual buds and 
flowers are almost perfect in form, with plenty 
of substance and petalage to make them last 
long either on the plant, as cut-flowers, or as 
boutonnieres. The size of the blooms varies 
from 2 to 31% inches across, so there are always 
many for every purpose. Even the foliage is 
beautiful and almost holly-like. $1.75 each; 
3 for $5.00. 
(Nonin, 1924.) Red. Large, 
semi-double, light cherry-crimson. $1.25 each; 
3 for $3.35. 
(Finch, 1923.) Pink. 
Opening color is clear pink changing to blush, 
then white, so that a cluster shows all stages. 
Strong bushy plants 21% to 3 feet. Blooms con- 
tinuously. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.35.

SALMON SPRAY. (P. Grant, 1923.) Rich 
salmon-pink, reverse of petals carmine. Tall- 
growing; long-stemmed sprays. Makes a

each; 3 for $3.35. 
SUMMER SNOW. (C. H. Perkins, 1939.) 
Pat. 416. Pure white flowers borne in large 
clusters. Very neat and low-growing and an

Small-Flowered POLYANTHA ROSES 
Quantity discount of 10% from the each rate on any 50 Roses or more 
The individual flowers in this class are smaller, though very often the clusters are 
PLANTING DISTANCE: Average 15 inches. 
HEIGHT: Average 15 to 18 inches. 
PRUNING: Prune lightly to desired height, removing old cluster heads and thin 
out dead wood, 
as large as Floribundas; heights in general are lower so these make good edging 
plants or low mass plantings. All Polyanthas are as nearly everblooming as Roses can 
be. They live and bloom year after year with comparatively little attention. 
CECILE BRUNNER. (Vve. Ducher, 1881.) 
CHATILLON ROSE. (Nonin, 1923.) Bright 
CAMEO. (de Ruiter, 1932.) Salmon. A distinct 
shade of shell-pink and salmon, with a glow of 
gold. A compromise between the pink and the 
orange-salmon Roses. Positively one of the 
best in this class. $1.15 each; 3 for $3.00. 
CAROL ANN. (A. Kluis, 1940.) Pat. 707. 
Salmon-orange. Globe-shaped flowers in large 
clusters; does not discolor or fade in the hottest 
sun. The plants seldom attain a height of over 
1 foot. Heretofore most of the so-called low- 
growing Polyanthas attained too much height 
when fully matured but here is one that really 
stays low and produces abundant bloom at the 
same time. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.35. 
Blush. The “Sweetheart Rose.” Small, ex- 
quisitely formed bud and flower of light pink 
with yellow base. The grace and delicacy of 
this Rose is unsurpassed. It is the perfect Rose 
for nosegays and corsages; also splendid for 
borders and massing. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
pink, semi-double blooms touched with orange. 
Enormous clusters of bloom on nice plants of 
medium height. $1.15 each; 3 for $3.00. 
ELLEN POULSEN. (D. T. Poulsen, 1912.) 
Pink. Large, compact clusters borne profusely 
on a dwarf, bushy plant 15 to 18 inches high.

for $3.00. 
GOLDEN SALMON SUPERIOR. (WW. Cut- 
bush & Son, 1926.) Bright orange-scarlet buds 
and newly opened flowers which quickly turn 
to bright blazing orange. Growth is vigorous 
and bushy. $1.15 each; 3 for $3.00. 
MARGO KOSTER. (Koster, 1935.) Light 
orange, slightly flushed pink. The individual 
flowers are globe-shaped like the ranunculus. 
Seldom grows over a foot. Ideal for edging. 
$1.25 each; 3 for $3.35.

anthas. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.35.

$3.00. ; 
PINKIE. (H. C. Swim.) Pat. 712. Pink. A 
little pink “baby” Rose. Winner of a 1948 
All-America Rose Selection award. Each 
rounded compact plant (18-24 inches) is 
smothered with the beautiful pink blooms 
throughout the entire season. The slender 
little buds have a perfection of form not here- 
tofore found im this class. Unsurpassed for 
low borders. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
SUNSHINE. Orange. The small but full- 
petaled blooms open golden orange, later 
overlaid with a soft pink sheen. Plants are 
dwarf growing to about a foot. Its pleasing 
and penetrating fragrance Is especially note- 
worthy—a few blooms will scent the room. 
$1.50 each, 3 for $4.00. 
» TRIOMPHE ORLEANAIS. (Peauger, 1912.) 
Bright cherry-red, long-lasting, almost fade- 
less, large flowers borne in clusters. Plant has 
glossy green foliage. It is the finest cherry-red 
Polyantha for border and hedge planting. 
$1.15 each; 3 for $3.00. 
YVONNE RABIER. (Turbat, 1910.) Very 
close to the ideal white Polyantha because of 
excellent bushy habit and bright green, glossy 
foliage; highly disease resistant. $1.15 each;
