SPLENDENS. R. Gallica Splendens. 4 - 5 feet. 
A lusty, handsome plant, providing a fine background for the large, 
graceful, semi-double flowers, of a striking brilliant red... heavily 
scented. We are now growing in larger quantities as we like this rose, 
and so will you! | 1.79 
STELLA POLARIS. H. Rugosa. (1900.) 3-4 feet. * 
Blooms abundantly throughout the season, and its large silvery- white 
single blooms are followed by an exceptionally handsome crop of big 
orange hips. For them alone, is well worth the price. 2.00 
ODUNDAY BEST. Cli. H. Perpetual. (1924.) 810 feet, 
Rates three mentions of twelve lines each in friend Roy Hennessey’s... er 
... entertaining catalog, plus an enthusiastic approval by ‘’Hon. Secre- 
tary,’’ who likes these large, single, red blooms with the white centers... 
and reminds me they keep right on coming all season. Laughs at Jack 
Frost as far down as zero. 
“The petals are ruffled and twirly like the circular skirted dresses little girls wore 
to Sunday School around 1924.”—Mrs. Mildred Couden, Indianapolis. 2.00 
THUSNELDA. H. Rugosa. (1889.) 4-5 feet. 
Blooms all season. Another of our favorite rugosas—the large, semi- 
double soft-pink blooms are very beautiful indeed, against the rich-green, 
ribbed foliage ... anda fragrance to delight the connoisseur! 1a 
ULRICH BRUNNER. H. Perpetual. (1882.) 5-6 feet. 
Stout fellow, is Ulrich and shrugs his big shoulders at pests and diseases. 
Somewhere back in his uncertain ancestry hovers the shadow of Paul 
Neyron, obviously a gay dog in his heyday. Blooms are very large, of 
magnificent petal, characteristically cupped, with those fiery deep car- 
mine tones peculiar to the type. The fragrance might awaken a flutter 
even in Elizabeth Arden and or “Charles of the Ritz.” AS 
VANGUARD. H. Rugosa. (1932.) 6-8 feet. 
Certainly has an interesting geneology—R. Wichuraiana x R. rugosa alba 
x El Dorado (copper orange H. T.), and the characteristics of all three are 
clearly shown in this handsome shrub rose. If you are a lover of the 
_ orange-salmon tones in roses, with a background of glossy foliage such as 
- is seldom excelled in a rese plant, then Vanguard is for you. Sorry, no, it 
blooms in spring only, but what a bloom! 15 
VARIEGATA DI BOLOGNA. Centifolia. (1909.) © 6-8 feet. 
‘The exclamation point of the rose-garden!” says Hortense Wild. Fat buds 
in clusters of 3-5, open to great, cupped, many-petalled blooms—white 
tinged pale pink, with well-defined magenta stripes, and a really “ravish- 
ing” fragrance. Blooms early and late. 
This is a distinct rose personality! There are other striped roses, of 
- course, but not like this one! Guaranteed to eae in their tracks all garden
