Rose Species 
and ©ddities 
Rosa alba. York Rose. Large, flat, pure, white 
blooms with yellow centers, varying from single 
to semi-double. The tissue-like petals of this

green wood and glaucous foliage. This historical 
Rose is always a “‘must have’ for collectors of 
old Roses. Tall growth. $2.25 each; 3 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
R. Ecae (R. Primula). (Turkestan.) Pale yellowish 
flowers, 1 to 114 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 or more, $2.00 each.

blooms, 2 to 3 ches across. The color of the

warm, velvety, reddish terra-cotta, a color one 
sometimes sees in old needlework and impossible 
to describe. Strong grower. Beautiful foliage.

Gallicas, Damasks, Cabbage and Scotch Roses 
Every grown man and woman cherishes some memory of the 
fragrant, unsophisticated charm of the Roses of long ago. Plant 
and treat them as low-growing shrubs attaining a height of 3 to 5 
feet, regulated by yearly pruning or ‘‘thinning out.’’ Or they may 
be set together as specimens to liven what may otherwise be a dull 
shrubbery border in June. 
For $15.00 
(Regular value $18.25)

Rose perfume. They also lend them- 
selves to the most colorful and har-
