“A MODEL OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM” 
Another interesting creation of our landscape department. This otherwise ordinary back yard has been transformed into 
an “Outdoor Living Room.” Properly screened-in from the adjoining properties, it insures calm seclusion for the home. 
The many Peonies and hundreds of Roses used in this garden provide color from June to October. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES (June-July Roses) 
They are not, as their name might imply, perpetual bloomers, but produce 
one great burst of bloom in June and July. Like the Hybrid Teas, they prefer 
a good rich clay loam soil. (See page 28 for complete cultural directions.) 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. Rose-pink flowers of 
beautiful form; double, fragrant. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI (Snow Queen). 
Best known of all pure white Roses. Large 
sized blooms, double, perfect in form, fra- 
grant, and free flowering. 
J. B. CLARK. Double flowers of light red. 
PAUL NEYRON. Dark lilac-rose; double and 
fragrant. 
ROSA RUGOSA RUBRA (Red) 
This Rose originated in the Orient. It is 
very hardy, a vigorous grower and is not trou- 
bled by insects. Grows 3 to 4 feet high. It 
has thick, leathery, wrinkled leaves, and the 
pinkish red flowers in June and July are follow- 
ed by scarlet fruits or haws, which~are very 
colorful in the fall. It is mostly used in land- 
scape work. 
Hugonis 
AUSTRIAN 
BRIER ROSES 
and Related Types 
A yellow-flowered early blooming 
species that add variety and charm to 
the landscape. Mostly used as bushes 
in, or as part of, a shrub planting; 
sometimes in the foundation planting, 
or again, in the shrub border. They 
are all very hardy and require little 
if any pruning. Grow 4 to 6 feet 
high. 
AUSTRIAN COPPER. The 
single flowers are intense 
coppery red on one side and 
bright golden yellow on the 
under side. Very hardy and 
vigorous growing, blooming 
in early June. 
HARRISON’S YELLOW. The 
lovely old-fashioned yellow 
Rose of our grandmother’s 
garden. It grows into an open 
bush with long canes and 
golden yellow, semi-double 
flowers blooming in early 
June. Fragrant. 
HUGONIS (Golden Rose of 
China). Hugonis takes first 
place among the single flow 
ered early sorts. Just before 
Bridal Wreath season it is 
completely covered with 
large, clear yellow flowers 
profusely borne along the 
slender arching branches, 
making a striking display. It 
is a vigorous grower, de- 
pendable, and a _ first-class 
yellow flowering shrub. Ex- 
cellent for planting in groups 
in the shrub border, in the 
foundation planting, or as a 
single specimen.

PRAIRIE or Shrub Roses 
These Roses of native origin are hardy and need no winter 
protection. The varieties listed below have attractive single 
pink flowers ranging from 114 to 2 inches in size. These are 
followed by red fruits or haws in the fall, giving a colorful 
winter effect. Some varieties have foliage with special charac- 
teristics of fragrance, summer color and fall coloring. They 
grow from 3 to 5 feet high. Their period of bloom lasts 
for 3 to 4 weeks in June and July after most other shrubs 
are through, making them very useful in extending and adding 
additional variety and color to the landscape planting. They 
are also used for naturalizing on hillsides, as bank covers, 
for parks, cemeteries, and other public grounds. They grow 
easily and require practically no pruning and attention in 
after years. 
BLANDA (Meadow Rose). Strong growing Rose, 3 to § 
feet high, with thornless branches of reddish purple color. 
Soft pink flowers. Red fruit pods in the fall. Will grow 
on poor and sandy soil. 
LUCIDA (Virginia Rose). Blooms for 4 to 6 weeks, with 
pink flowers. Upright grower 4 to 6 feet high. Its reddish 
stems and shiny red fruits are attractive all winter long. 
SETIGERA (Prairie Rose). Characterized by its long, arch- 
ing branches which grow from 5 to 8 feet long and bend 
over to the ground. The display of pink flowers in July 
is gorgeous and comes at a time when most spring and 
early summer shrubs are out of bloom.
