CHAPEAU de NAPOLEON—The Moss rose of grandmother's garden. 
©Varieties 
ALFRED de DALMAS. (1855.) 3 feet. 
“Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives us great pleasure to offer for the first 
time,’’ Alfred de Dalmas, a truly ever-blooming Moss Rose,—From April to 
frost never without flowers! A more compact and lower-growing plant 
than most of the Mosses. Appears completely free of mildew and any and 
all diseases. The double cupped blooms are a delicate blush pink, almost 
white in full sun—fragrant and altogether charming]! 
August 1954."Ever-blooming is right! Has never stopped. Has that shining, 
crystalline color never found in modern roses.” Neville Miller, Palmerton, Pa.

COMTESSE de MURINAIS. (1843.) 5 - 6 feet. 
We consider the Comtesse finer in bloom and plant habit than its better- 
known offspring Blanche Moreau. Grows upright . . . luxuriant foliage. 
The pale pink buds open to well-formed, large double flowers of a “crystal- 
line shining white.’ Highly perfumed. 3 for 4.50 each 1.75 
CRESTED MOSS. (Chapeau de Napoleon.) (1827.) 4-5 feet. 
All hail Queen of the ‘’Favorite Six.’’ Included by more rosarians en their 
list of old favorites than any other rose variety. Each bud has a ruffled 
fringe or crest from which the lovely pink flower emerges—''an instance of 
rose magic.’ This is probably your Moss Rose of childhood memories 
in ‘Grandmother's Garden” .. . Says Lois Spencer, Chicago,— 
“I do not know exactly why I choose this among the Mosses for one of my favor- 
ite six old roses, as each Moss that I have ever grown has held some particular 
fascination. But this has such a cock-sure manner of growth, with such fresh, 
clear blooms, and the calyx formation is so unusual, I find myself taking many 
detours in the garden just to look at the Crested Moss again and again.”
