Small Flowered Cluster Roses 
(Polyantha Roses) Growing about 12 to 18 inches high 
The Polyantha or Baby Roses are very popular for 
edging and for bedding purposes. The plants grow into 
shapely, compact bushes about 12 to 18 inches 
high and they are covered with a great mass of flow- 
ers from early in the season until severe frost de- 
stroys their beauty. The blooms, though small, are 
very effective, as they are arranged in showy trusses 
that accentuate their rich and beautiful coloring.

This is one of the best of the new form, and is greatly 
admired by visitors. The flowers are shaped like 
Ronunculus blooms, an entirely new form in Roses. The 
incurving petals produce perfectly charming globe- 
shaped flowers when grown in large clusters. The color 
is salmon-orange and does not discolor or fade in the 
hottest sun. Plants medium height and excellent for 
edgings.

Dominant color of this lovely Ranunculus-shaped flower 
is salmon with rich shadings of orange and pink. The 
small, globe-shaped blooms occur in large clusters and 
are semi-double. The plant grows not over 18 inches 
s i high and therefore is a very fine variety to be used as 
Cameo an edging around Hybrid Tea Rose beds. Carroll Ann

Charlie Me Carthy 
(Plant Patent Applied For) 
A Rare, White, Prolific Flowering Cluster Rose 
Charlie McMarthy is a lovely novelty in Roses. All of the 
lively qualities pertaining to Charlie are exemplified in the 
Rose. His scintillating wit is expressed in the foliage—fresh 
and sparkling. And like his steady stream of answers, the 
bushes are profuse with an unending show of flowers. 
Though the plants grow old, they never grow up—rarely 
exceeding 18 inches in height. The creamy white minia- 
ture buds expand into pure white flowers approximately an 
inch in diameter. 
The bushes are unique and novel in form, being globular 
or rounded like a freshly clipped Boxwood. The luxuriant 
foliage, so bright that it has the appearance of having been 
shellacked or polished, lends to the plants a snappy, tailored 
effect that is seen in no other Rose. 
From spring until fall, all through the season, the plants 
are literally smothered in a glistening white snowbank of 
Roses. Like its namesake, the new Rose Charlie McCarthy, 
immaculately dressed, can always be depended upon for a 
top-flight performance.
