Let us tell you something about these miniature Roses. 
While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, Amer- 
ica is just beginning to wake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and anyone who-attempts to handle Roses without in-

effects. 
BABY ELEGANCE (Hobbies, 1913.)—An elegant new “Baby 
Rose.” Has single flowers of a beautiful lilae-rose color 
shading to Irish Elegance-yellow. Long stem and free 
bloomer. 
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN (Welter, 1911.) This Rose was 
formerly named “Louise Welter.” Its flowers are large and 
so much like Tausendschoen, that it has been rechristened 
“Baby Tausendschoen." It is a bush form of the “Climbing 
Tausendschoen" or “Thousand Beauties," having all the 
charm in the variable coloring in its flowers that its parent 
has, being firm white, delicately flushed pink, changing to 
deep rosy-carmine. This is a splendid Rose. Try it. 
BONNIE BELLE (Hobbies, 1913.) —Enormous trusses of dark 
cherry-red flowers. Unusually long buds for a Polyantha. 
Worthy of trial. 
CORONET (Wm. Paul, 1912.)—Yellow shaded with rose. Very 
fine and effective and quite distinct. 
DEWDROP (Hobbies, 1913.)—Cherry-red; lasts a long time, 
grows easy. А very double Rose. 
ELLEN POULSON (Poulson, 1912.) —Dark brilliant pink, large 
and full, sweetly scented. Vigorous bushy habit, most flor- 
iferous. Very fine. 
ERNA TESCHENDORFF (Teschendorff, 1911.)—A sport from 
“Madame Norbert Levavasseur,” which it resembles with re- 
gard to habit of growth and foliage, etc. The flowers are 
of a deep crimson color, flushed with carmine, resembling 
the dazzling color of “Gruss an Teplitz." This variety does 
not lose its color in the hottest sun and has по purple 
Shades. It has received many awards on the continent, and 
is said to be the darkest Polyantha in existence. It is 
much sought after in America to bloom in pots during the 
winter and for Easter time. 
GEORGE ELGER (Turbat & Co., 1913.)— Golden-yellow buds 
opening to a deep clear yellow; growth upright. Very free 
flowering. Fine for massing and pot culture. This is the 
first yellow Polyantha and should become as famous аз 
Mlle. Cecile Brunner. 
They are useful, either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge 
They completely hide the plant with bloom from early till late. 
JEANNY SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1913.) —Delicate Car- 
nation-white, of regular perfect form, produced in large, 
compact clusters. Very free flowering. A charming and 
beautiful Rose. 
JESSIE (Merryweather, 1909.)— This new Baby Rambler is an 
ideal Rose for massing, bedding or for pot culture, The 
flowe which are produced in huge clusters, are of a bright 
cherry-crimson color which does not fade. Superb, The 
best of all the Baby Ramblers for pot culture, 
MEADOW SWEET (Hobbies, 1913.)—Salmon-rose, streaked 
with flashy orange threads; semi-double. Very fragrant. 
ORLEANS (Levavasseur, 1910.)—The showiest and prettiest of 
all the Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty Rose is 
of beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bouquet of deep 
сегїзе or Geranium-pink with distinct showy center of pure 
white; florets not crowded but of beautiful arrangement, mak- 
ing as a whole a charming combination that cannot be 
beaten. The color is irresistible. The plant grows like a 
weed and the flowers are nearly *'immortelle" in their last- 
ing qualities. We believe that they will outlast almost any 
other Rose in existence with their stiff paper-like texture. 
This pretty Rose has taken Europe by storm and will make 
a sensation as soon as known in this country. Awarded 
gold medal. 
POMPON DE LYON (Dubreuil, 1913.) —Bright carmine-rose, 
of regular form, produced in large clusters. Growth robust 
and branching. Very free flowering. Extra fine. 
RODHATTE (Poulson, 1912.) (Little Red Riding Hood.)—Clear 
cherry-red, shaded deep crimson, with a lustrous finish, 
comes in immense clusters. Very vigorous and free flowering. 
Fine for massing. The growth resembles the Hybrid Teas. 
WHITE MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER ( ‚ 1914.) 
—This is identical with the pink form of that famous 
Rose, “Mademoiselle Cecile Brunner," known to the cut- 
flower trade as the “Baby Pink Rose." This variety is 
destined to become as famous for use in floral work of all 
ud as its parent. See description of Mademoiselle Cecile 
runner. 
Polyantha, or 
Baby Rambler Roses 
Standard Varieties including the Hybrid Polyanthas. 
They are Hardy. 
ANNA MULLER (Schmidt, 1907.)—'This Rose is very 
much the same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, except 
in the color of its flowers, which are a shiny, bril- 
liant pink. produced in the greatest profusion in large 
clusters. It is a splendid companion to the other 
excellent members of this family. This is the orig- 
inal pink Baby Rambler. 
BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR 
(Levavasseur, 1903.) — This is the original Baby 
Rambler, daddy of them all. It is in bloom all the 
time, flowers in large clusters of brightest crimson. 
It grows to a height of eighteen inches and hides the 
plant with its bloom. А most wonderful Rose. 
CATHERINE ZEIMET, or WHITE BABY RAMBLER 
(Lambert, 1901.)— This is surely a beauty and a 
great agdition to the Baby Ramblers. Grows to a 
height of twenty inches and produces double pure 
white flowers in abundance. It has a fragrance sim- 
ilar to Hyacinths, of free, compact growth and very 
attractive. It produces a sheet of white bloom that 
is certainly a sight worth seeing. 
NOTE — The above three Roses, “Аппа Muller," 
“Baby Rambler’ and “Catherine Zeimet,” are the 
original pink, red and white Baby Ramblers in the 
order named. They are hard to beat. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890.) (Н. 
Poly.)—Known the world over as one of the very best 
of all bedding Roses. The only rival of ''Hermosa'^ 
as a bedder and market pot plant. The color effect 
is beautiful ivory-white, shading towards the center 
to bright silvery-pink. Everybody’s Rose. 
LE PONCEAU (Hemeray-Aubert, 1910.) —Dark red, 
blooms in large clusters. A choice variety. 
Catherine Zeimet.
