my 
VIOLETTEs ‘Rambler. (1921.) 10-15 feet: 
Offspring of the famed ‘’blue rose,” Veilchenblau, and different in that its 
flowers come and go unchanging—a velvety, pure deep-violet. Blooms 
abundantly in spring only. Can be trained to make a stunning pillar or 
will “clamber over the roof of a lath-house in one season” as it did for 
Mrs. Lila McCombs, California. 2.00 
WIND CHIMES. H. Musk. 15-20 feet. 
Has all the vigor, freedom from pests and diseases, mass bloom, and 
that special fragrance of its Musk ancestor, and then, unlike Father 
Moschata, goes right on repeating all this beauty throughout the season. 
In shade, the bloom clusters are deep-rosy pink, much lighter in full sun. 
Mrs. C. M. K. of San Marino will forgive us (please) if we print her 
comment—"'Wind Chimes continued blooming into December, followed by round 
fruits, held upright, which stayed orange for a long time but now (Feb. 1s?) are 
red and still firm like little door-knobs. The late blooms shone all alone in our 
denuded garden, like tiny pink stars.” 
We are now growing sufficient to encourage hedge planting with a 
continued low price. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
YORK & LANCASTER. 3- 4 feet 
Abundant spring bloom on a strong, bushy plant. ‘’The rose nor red nor | 
white but stolen of both,” says Shakespeare. In fact we have so many | 
“quotes” for this variety, we know not where to begin or leave off—for © 
no rose has had so much mention, and none a more interesting history. 
The sparkle of this gaily striped rose with its beautiful fern-green foliage | 
makes it very worth growing even without history or Shakespeare. (Pardon — 
me, bard.) | 
“Red Rose of Lancaster 
White Rose of York 
And the striped rose, the King’s rose 
Tells of old sorrows, 
Wars, Beauties forgotten 
And nod on their stalk.” | 
—MarGaRET STANLEY WRENCH 2.00

The catalog-writer desists temporarily for a ‘quiet smoke | 
under the Malmaison,” having described already, forty more | 
varieties than you will find in most rose catalogs, with — 
184 more to go! Alas and alack!
