MARSHALL P. WILDER. H. Perpetual. (1855.) 5 - 6 feet. 
Rates with Henry Nevard, in this writer's estimation, as tops in heavily 
scented dark red Hybrid Perpetuals—-We still like the enthusiastic words 
of Neville Miller, Palmerton, Pa., which follow—'Planted near our front 
steps beside a plant of Peace, Marshall P. Wilder calls forth more favorable com- 
ments from visitors than the modern rose. Intense red with a satin finish, accent- 
uated by wavy petals; blooms come from the top and sides. The perfume is Damask 
with just enough Gallica to lend interest. Foliage, in size and color, exactly sets 
off the flowers. A classic among all Hybrid Perpetuals.” jaa) 
MAX GRAF. H. Rugosa. (1919.) 20 - 25 feet. 
Because of its handsome, long-lasting rugose foliage, and extreme hardi- 
ness, still near the top popularity as a ground cover, and can be trained 
to grace a fence. Prospers in sun or shade. Superabundant spring bloom 
of charming, single, pink flowers with golden centers.

MenaMiAlly, HH. Bracteata, (1918.) 15 - 25 feet. 
This is one of the outstanding “characters” in rosedom . .. abandoned 
by most commercial growers for its cantankerousness in the nursery, but 
still in constantly increasing demand. First saw Mermaid at the seashore 
where it was doing excellent service as a large, glossy-leafed “lawn.” 
‘Equally efficient on a fence or over a building. Hardy except in severe 
climates. Its 5 inch “soft yellow, dewey-eyed single flowers” continue 
all season—wild-rose fragrance. 
Commercially, we would be glad to discontinue, except for the "weeping 
and gnashing of teeth” from the many who just won't live without Mermaid.

MME. ERNEST CALVAT. Bourbon. 6 - 8 feet. 
A bushy, dark foliaged plant, which blooms abundantly in spring and 
autumn. Globular, many petalled flowers, somewhat like a large Souv. 
Malmaison, except a deeper pink, with darker shadings . . . perfume 
rich and heavy. A rarity from England ... unlikely to be found in any 
other American catalog. (Supply limited) 2.00 
MLLE. FRANZISKA KRUGER. Tea. (1880.) 4-5 feet. 
Hardier than the average Tea rose and recommended for trial in climates 
not considered generally suited for this type. A large, double, shapely 
flower in soft pink and copper tones .. . heavy fragrance. A really per- 
petual bloomer. Long famous. 2.00 
‘How deeply with beauty is beauty overlaid! The ground covered with crystals, 
the crystals with mosses and lichens and low-spreading grasses and flowers .. . 
these with larger plants, leaf over leaf, with ever-changing color; the broad palm 
of the firs outspread over these; the azure dome over all like a bellflower, and star 
above star.” —JOoHN Muir
