BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. Rambler. (1925.) 10-15 feet. 
For us, its light, flexible canes have proved an exceptionally fine ground- 
cover. Here on our country road in only half sun, this sparkling dark-red 
rambler enlivens our driveway for a long spring season, following with 
intermittant bloom until December. Excellent as climber or pillar—the 
“calico print” rose with the old-time flavor. 1.50 
BLOOMFIELD DAINTY. Semi-Climber. (1924.) 8 - 10 feet. 
Similar in flowering and growth habit to Bloomfield Courage, except its 
profuse clusters of 4 inch semi-double flowers are of deep canary-yellow, 
with that happy faculty of shedding cleanly when finished. Excellent for 
all purposes—its handsome foliage and adaptable canes make a fine 
ground cover, or will run happily on a fence. 1.50 
BONTSILENE. Tea. (1835.) 4-5 feet. (Boan-See-len.) 
Created by Mons. Hardy in 1835, one-time keeper of the Luxembourg 
Gardens in Paris (to whom we are also deeply indebted for the lovely 
damask, ‘Mme. Hardy”). Produces abundantly and constantly, well- 
formed, large, double blooms in lively rose-pink. To attest the remarkable 
health of this variety, there is a Bon Silene in Thomasville, Georgia, which 
is 90 years old! Like to plant one for your posterity? 1.50 
BRIDESMAID. Tea. (1893.) 4-5 feet. 
Well-formed buds cpen to globular blooms of clear, soft pink, with tea fra- 
grance. Very vigorous and generous throughout the season. One of the 
most famous tea roses. | er Bs 
CARDINAL de RICHELIEU. Gallica. 6 - 8 feet. (1840.) (du Reesh-lyew.) 
Fine, large bushy shrub. Our original catalogue description was unfair 
to his grace, as he is no "blue rose” but comes out spring-dressed in 
voluminous robes of rich dark violet and maroon. A rose garden without 
the famous Cardinal lacks that ceriain eminence, which only he can 
give. 2.00 
CASTILIAN. (Rose of Castile.) 4-5 feet. 
One of the oldest roses known to history, truly ancient. Flower is large, 
double, soft deep pink, entrancingly fragrant with true attar of roses. 
Worthy an honored place in every old-fashioned garden . . . charming!

CATHERINE MERMET. Tea. (1869.) 3 - 4 feet. 
Outstanding among our several Tea Roses, not only for the fine form 
and delicate flesh-pink coloring, but for the long, strong cutting stems and 
abounding good health of the plants. Remember these tea roses NEVER 
stop blooming. 1.50 
tt | The limits of beauty extend beyond the boundaries of modern taste. The 
Old Roses have an eloquence of their own which speaks compellingly to all who love 
the Rose, who know its history, and appreciate what it means to humanity.”
