OLD RED MOSS—"Resplendent and Undaunted.” 
MME. LOUIS LEVEQUE. (1898.) 4-5 feet. 
“*Sieglende of the Mosses—the most utterly feminine of roses.’ Thank you again, 
Hortense Wild, and I hope there is plenty of room on your windy hillside 
for all the gift roses your charming comments will bring you when spring 
comes to Cary, Illinois. 
Another of our lovely Messes which repeats its spring bloom—the large, 
double, cupped flowers are a soft lilac-pink, unlike any of the others, diffi- 
cult to describe. ‘Feminine’ yes, sans rouge and lipstick. 
PINK MOSS. (Ancient) 4-5 feet. ewan coon. 0C 
The oldest of the Mosses, brought to England from Holland about 1596. 
Blooms lavishly, covering the plant, from spring to late summer. Great, 
great-grandmother certainly should preside over your old-fashioned 
roses. “Fashion may have changed,” over the years, but beauty is still 
beauty. 3 for 4.50 each 1.75 
RED MOSS. (Ancient.) 5-6 feet. 
Probably the best of the carmine-reds . . . blooming profusely well into 
mid-summer—’‘resplendent and undaunted whatever the weather.” 
I planted Red Moss in the background with blue-bells, and blue del phiniums in 
the foreground. The colors were charming together, each softening and comple- 
menting the other.”—Mrs. Mildred Couden, Indianapolis. 
SALET. (1854.) 45 feet. (Sa-lay.) ese ge ees 
Pink is the prevailing color in Moss Roses, but comes in many shades and 
variations. Salet is in the rose tones, well mossed, opening large and 
wide. yes
