The year’s at the spring, 
And day’s at the morn; 
Morning’s at seven 
The hillside’s dew-pearled; 
The lark’s on the wing 
The snail’s on the thorn; 
God's in his heaven 
All’s right with the world.

Mousseaux Ancien. (Ancient.) Garden Notes—‘Better formed than 
the average Moss Rose, with unusual fern-green foliage. I like it!” And Roy Shepherd 
says—"Here’s a real Moss! Deep pink in the center, with lighter edges—lI rate very 
good!” With the approval of two such authorities, (pardon our ego) it should be 
worthy of your special note. iD 
Pink Moss. (ancient) The charming mother of all the Mosses, brought 
to England from Holland about 1596. Easily the most popular Moss Rose, and we 
have never yet grown enough of them. It blooms generously over a very long early 
season, repeating more moderately through summer and fall. 1.50 
Red Moss. (Ancient.) Not “red” as we understand the meaning of the 
word, but deep live carmine. With us, the most prolific of any, and recommended to 
those who are at all dubious about success with Moss Roses. 1.50 
Salet. (1854.) | Another good rosy-pink, heavily mossed—opening large 
and wide. Appears even more vigorous than the others—very bushy, profuse spring 
bloom, repeating more moderately in fall. Roy Shepherd says—‘Among the most 
valuable of the pink mosses.” 1.75 
Yellow Moss. GEO 525) Definitely yellow and a necessary addition to 
any Moss rose collection. Has all the good habits, vigour and fine Moss fragrance 
of its companions. 
We hasten to change last year’s term “ancient” to proper date of introduction. 
One of our good correspondents, calling attention to the error, inquired acidly—“If 
we consider 1932 ancient, how old would we consider him!” 1.50
