SPECIAL ROSE GARDEN OFFERS 
Roses should be planted by themselves in as much mass 
as you can afford. Keep varieties together. To do this 
leave 3 to 4 feet between each or, if your planting can 
be large, plant each variety in its separate bed. 
The Twelve Bush Garden $19.75 
Three Whites: One each of K. A. Victoria, Sleigh Bells, 
McGredy’s Ivory, Three Reds: One each of Mirandy, 
Charlotte Armstrong, Crimson Glory. Three Yellows: One 
each of Peace, Sutter’s Gold and Lowell Thomas. Three 
Pinks: One each of Countess Vandal, Mission Bells, Tally- 
ho. Plant the above in groups of three in a plot 12 x 4 
feet, keeping the plants about 2 feet apart. (Bought 
individually these roses would cost $23.00.) 
The Sixteen Bush Garden $28.50 
The above plus the white, Blanche Mallerin; the red 
prize winner, Chrysler Imperial; the prize-winning pink,

(Bought individually these roses would cost $33.00.) 
Forty-eight Bush Garden in Four Varieties $99.50 
This, frankly, is a challenging suggestion to those who 
hold beauty and uniqueness of planting highly. Few 
people have the nerve to plant boldly by variety in 
mass, but those who do will possess a rose garden of 
unusual merit because it is so simple in concept. The 
roses chosen for this exciting planting are the best in their 
color class, all prize winners. Twelve Blanche Mallerin 
(white); twelve Chrysler Imperial (Red); twelve Helen 
Traubel (Pink); and twelve Peace (Yellow). It may take 
quite a while to decide to do this, but when you do, you'll 
never regret it. (Bought in dozen lots these roses would 
cost $116.00.)

CLIMBING ROSES 
After testing climbers a long time we’ve narrowed the 
list to these four. They are profuse bloomers and are 
hardy everywhere. (In extreme cold climates the canes 
should be protected lightly.) 
Silver Moon Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Large (4.5 inch) semi-double white cupped flowers with 
golden centers. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
We have dropped Blaze, an everblooming sport of 
Paul’s Scarlet, because it isn’t everblooming anymore 
and what is left is no longer as vigorous as its great 
parent. This scarlet, semi-double is grown on its own 
root which eliminates trouble with suckers. 
New Dawn Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Soft pink flowers in bloom continuously. 
Gold Rush Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
Vigorous golden-yellow climber.

flowers in April. Foliage is good in summer. Prefers light

border. 
Reptans Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Light blue flowers in April and May. 6-8 inches high.

ant flowers in June and July, then bushes out with decora- 
tive foliage. It grows anywhere in full sun, in any soil. 
Use in groups of three in the foreground. 
Avalanche Each $1.10, Three $2.90, Doz. $8.75

THYMUS (Decorative Thyme) 
(See Herbs for culinary variety.) 
These are easily grown, form dense mats ideal for spaces 
between flagstones. Require full sun and that is about 
all. We sell large mats that can be divided into 10-15 
plants. These are perfect, low growing covers for hot and 
dry places.

reddish-purple flowers in late June. Evergreen leaves

Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Also known as lemon thyme because of its distinct lemon 
fragrance. Citriodorous grows from 6 to 8 inches high and 
is covered with small rosy blooms in June. Like all decora- 
tive Thymes it needs full sun. It makes a delightful dwarf 
border for an informal path. Needs light straw protec- 
tion in winter to keep stems from drying out.
