SPE, 
Rosa alba. York Rose. Large, flat, pure, white 
blooms with yellow centers, varying from single 
to semi-double. The tissue-like petals of this 
lovely old Rose are quite distinct, as is the gray- 
green wood and glaucous foliage. This historical 
Rose is always a “must have” for collectors of 
old Roses. Tall growth. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
R. Ecae (R. Primula). (Turkestan.) Pale yellowish 
flowers, 1 to 11% inches across, borne freely 
along the erect leafy branches very early in the 
season. Prickly stems 4 to 5 feet tall, with finely 
divided foliage which, when wet, emits a strong 
odor of formic acid. Its shiny dark green leaves 
and red thorns on the branches make it very 
attractive the whole year round. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
R. Eglanteria (R. rubiginosa). Eglantine; Sweet- 
brier. Bright pink flowers in small clusters.

blooms, 2 to 3 inches across. The color of the 
flowers is not only unlike that of any other Rose,

sometimes sees in old needlework and impossible 
to describe. Strong grower. Beautiful foliage.
