ROSA MUNDI. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00 
BOULE DE NANTEUIL. Large; very double; 
deep pink, outside petals silvery pink. $2.25 
each; 3 for $6.00. 
CARDINAL DE RICHELIEU. (Laffay, 1840.) 
Very dark, double flowers of medium size and 
extremely handsome and rich in coloring. In 
some lights the deeper violet tones are almost 
blue, and in others they are purple verging to 
velvety black. Supply limited. $2.25 each; 3 
for $6.00. 
COUPE D’HEBE. (Laffay, 1840.) From deep 
rose-pink to pale tones; full cupped flower; 
very fragrant. Vigorous growth. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
DESIREE PARMENTIER. A large, loose 
flower which is quite flat. Color is between 
light red and deep pink. Its spectacular color 
combination always draws the attention of 
lovers of Old-fashioned Roses. $2.25 each; 3 
for $6.00. 
DUC DE GUICHE. Large, double flowers of a 
curious orchid shade. An oddity of great 
interest. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
DUMORTIER. Very double; light red with 
silvery reflexes. Most attractive and distinct. 
This historical French Rose is always prized 
for its fresh, brilliant coloring. $2.25 each; 3 
for $6.00. 
The Damask Rose 
The Damask Roses are very hardy and 
make robust growth, clothed with large, 
rough, light green leaves. Their flowers are 
very freely produced and are generally 
borne in trusses of three or more. The fame 
of their powerful fragrance is second only 
to that of the Cabbage and the Moss Roses. 
DAMAS OFFICINALIS. Large; very double; 
pink. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
KAZANLIK (Rosa damascena trigintipetala). 
Southeastern Europe. A semi-double form 
of the Rosa damascena grown in the Balkans for 
the production of attar of roses. 3 to 4 feet. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
KING GEORGE IV. (Rivers, 1830.) Loosely 
double, cupped flowers of dark vivid crimson. 
Grows like a Hybrid Perpetual and blooms in 
June. A “must” for all collectors of Old- 
fashioned Roses. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
MAIDEN’S BLUSH. (Kew, 1797.) Unques- 
tionably one of the loveliest of all the old 
Roses. There is a freshness about its rosy 
white color, shaded to a fine salmon-pink at 
the base, that is not equaled in any other va- 
riety. The petals of the semi-double flowers 
are most artistically arranged. Another at- 
tribute is its pronounced fragrance and sweet 
perfume. Maiden’s Blush is probably a hy- 
brid of Rosa alba (York Rose) and therefore 
rather difficult to classify. We are probably 
correct in calling tt one of the old Damasks, 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
East Rutherford, N. J. 
Che French Rose 
Rosa gallica 
A century ago the only hardy garden 
Roses were a few groups of once-blooming 
types and probably the most popular of them 
were the Gallicas, or so-called French Roses. 
The flowers are beautiful in a distinctly 
different way and most of them are fragrant; 
also the plants are healthy and hardy. 
GEORGES VIBERT. (Robert, 1853.) One of 
the most striking variegated Roses—bright 
purplish red broken by white streaks and 
stripes. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
GROS PROVINS PANACHE. Some of the 
flowers are violet streaked with white, others 
are white streaked with violet. One rare and 
very desirable Rose. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
JEANNETTE. (Descemet.) Double flowers of 
bright light red, fading gradually to light 
rose-pink, An attractive variety. While the 
French term this a “light red,” it is really a 
gorgeous combination of vermilion and old- 
rose-pink, very similar to the popular Hybrid 
Tea, Margaret McGredy. $2.25 each; 3 for 
$6.00. 
LA RUBANEE. (Vibert, 1845.) This ts one 
of the most popular of the old varieties. We 
find it identical to those we receive from time 
to time under the name of Village Maid, Pan- 
achée Double and Perle des Panachées. Rose 
and purple veinings on a white background. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
MARIE TUDOR. Described in old catalogue 
as cherry-red or cerise, but the variety we have 
under this name is salmon-pink, marbled with 
rose, and is really one of the most distinct 
varieties in the Gallica class. $2.25 each; 3 for 
$6.00. 
CEILLET PARFAIT. (Foulard, 1841.) Meditum- 
sized, very double flowers of pale blush-pink, 
striped with red and crimson. Resembles a 
scarlet bizarre carnation. $2.25 each; 3 for

Lilac-red, shaded violet-orchid—most unusual 
color found in no other Rose. $2.25 each; 3 for 
$6.00. 
Rosa PDamascena 
MARIE LOUISE. Medium-sized double flowers 
of rich deep pink. They are intensely fragrant. 
Bushy, shrubby growth. One of the most 
desirable of the Damask family. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
MME. HARDY. (Hardy, 1832.) This is the 
much-sought-for pure white Damask Rose. 
It is cup-shaped, large and full, and bears 
heavily 1n spreading clusters. We consider it 
the most beautiful and fragrant of the white 
Old-fashioned Roses. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
PROFESSEUR EMILE PERROT. (Turbat, 
1931.) A delicate soft pink, very fragrant 
Damask Rose brought to France from Persia 
by Professeur Perrot. Grown in great quan- 
tities for the perfume industry. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
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 loveliness. Pleasingly 
and deliciously fragrant. $2.25 each; 3 for | 
$6.00. 
YORK AND LANCASTER. Semi-double; 
small and irregular, fragrant bloom of pale 
pink or white with a few occasional solid red- 
dish pink petals on the same flower. Rather 
long pale green branches of diffuse habit.

Mundi, which is far more spectacular. How- 
ever, we have the true York and Lancaster. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00.

to 3 feet tall. Cut them for home decoration, 
arrange them in a low bowl, and you have a 
“Teplica” of the finest paintings by the old 
masters. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
ROSA MUNDI. (Vibert, 1875.) Rather large, 
semi-double flowers of white or pale pink, 
broadly striped red and dark rose. Some petals 
may be all white, others all red, some half 
white and half red, some evenly striped. This 
is the Rose usually sold as York and Lancaster.
