VARIEGATA di BOLOGNA—A distinct rose personality. 
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 stop in their tracks all garden 
visitors . . . well, nearly all. 3 for 4.50 “eqcr iss 
VEILCHENBLAU. (Violet-blue.) Rambler. (1909.) 15 feet. (Vile- 
shen-blow.) A profuse, spring-blooming rambler producing great clusters 
of small cupped flowers, starting violet-pink, then passing pleasantly thru 
shades of magneta, to slate-blue. For us, most attractive in all stages 
(except death.) This is the ‘Blue Rose’’ which aroused considerable ire 
last year, thru the publicity of an over-zealous promoter. A beautiful and — 
unique climbing rose to those who harbor no pet aversions for blue tones 
in the Queen of Flowers. 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. 1st) 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. Un- 
questionably the best of our Musk hybrids. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 —
