FHliniature Roses 
All of these Roses are $1.00 each; 3 of a kind for $2.50 
The three rate holds for three of one 
variety. All our Miniature Roses are sent to 
you in 3 or 4-inch pots. 
These charming little Roses, sometimes 
called “Miniatures,” seldom grow more than 
a foot high. Though small and dainty, 
they are comparatively hardy. They should 
never be p.anted right in among other 
everblooming Roses, although they do make 
nice edging plants for the small Rose garden. 
They are at home among the smaller rock- 
garden and alpine plants in a favored or 
sheltered location. They do not thrive as 
house plants but do well in a small green- 
house.

SCOTCH ROSES 
China, Bengal, Bourbon 
and Noisette Roses 
Most of these are the original ‘“Everbloom- 
ing” or Monthly Roses. The old-fashioned 
Chinas and Teas are low and bushy in 
growth, similar to the more modern Hybrid 
Teas. Thought at one time to be tender for 
northern states, they have proved to be as 
hardy as any of our Roses. 
BIRDIE BLYE. Bengal. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 
1904.) Pink, fragrant flowers, produced in 
diffuse clusters. A fairly large bush, quite 
hardy, and everblooming. $2.25 each; 3 for 
$6.00. 
HERMOSA. China. (Marcheseau, 1840.) Pink. 
Medium-sized, soft pink, double flowers. 
Good healthy, bushy plants up to 2 feet. This 
is a favorite of three generations. Truly ever- 
blooming. 35 petals. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
Supply temporarily exhausted. 
LOUIS PHILIPPE. China. Red. Medium 
size, double, globular, deep scarlet-red flowers. 
Bushy and profuse bloomer growing to about 
2 feet. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
MARECHAL NIEL. Noisette. (Pradel, 1864.) 
Yellow. Lovely buds and flowers of deep 
golden yellow, double and extremely fragrant. 
Since it is not hardy in the North we have 
grown a quantity of large, trained, green- 
house-grown pot-plants for use in a conserva- 
tory or cool greenhouse at $3.50 each. Also 
dormant plants for outdoor planting in mild 
southern climates. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.75. 
MUTABILIS (Rosa mutabilis). China. This 
unusual species gives flowers of several colors 
on the one plant. Large, single flowers of rose- 
pink, yellow, buff, and orange are produced all 
summer. Bushy plant 2 to 3 feet high. Very 
scarce. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
SOUVENIR DE LA MALMAISON. Bourbon. 
(Beluze, 1843.) Blush. Pale flesh-colored 
flowers emitting a haunting fragrance. Plant 
dwarf and bushy, 2 feet high. $2.25 each; 3 
for $6.00. Supply temporarily exhausted. 
/ @ THE GREEN ROSE (Rosa chinensis viridiflora). 
China. Green. The flower 
formation consists of a 
“tuft” of green sepals, with 
no colored petals at all; 
hence the name of this 
most unusual variety. 
Grows as a vigorous, 3 to 
4-foot bush. $3.00 each; 3 
for $8.00.
