BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. Rambler. (1925.) 10 - 15 feet. 
For us, its light, flexible canes have proved an exceptionally fine oro 
cover. Here on our country road in only half sun, this sparkling dark-red 
rambler enlivens our driveway for a long spring season, following with 
intermittant bloom until December. Excellent as climber or pillar—the 
“calico print’’ rose with the old-time flavor. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
BLOOMFIELD DAINTY. Semi-climber. (1924.) 8 - 10 feet.

in the wavey petals. Excellent for all purposes—a fine ground cover, will 
run happily on a fence or what have you. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50

CAMAIEUX. (Gallica.) 4 feet. | 
G. S. Thomas, England, to whom we are indebted for our start. of this, and 
many of the old roses in our collection—has this to say of Camaieux— 
“Superlative quality. The glory of the striped kinds! Strong growth, with shapely, 
semi-double flowers of a most startling and beautiful effect. They are blush pink, 
heavily striped and splashed with vivid crimson, turning with age to a remarkable 
violet-grey. Very fragrant.” Spring bloomer. The C. W., Hon. Secretary and 
Mr. Thomas are all agreed on this one! Sorry, supply limited this first year.

CARDINAL de RICHELIEU. Gallica. 6 - 8 feet. (1840.) (du Reesh-lyew.) 
Fine, large bushy shrub. Our original catalogue description was unfair 
to his grace, as he is no “blue rose” but comes out spring-dressed in 
voluminous robes of rich dark violet and maroon. A rose garden without 
the famous Cardinal lacks that certain eminence, which only he can 
give. 2.00
