THE CONARD~PYLE

a) tar Kose e Growers —

- Robert Pyle, Pres. Seige West |

A New Name for the Old Firm

HE CONARD & JONES COMPANY on January 1, 1925,

became THE CONARD-PYLE COMPANY. It has not moved

from West Grove, Pennsylvania, the very birthplace of the

American Rose-growing industry. The only change is in vastly
increased facilities and ability to grow better roses better, and to get
them in perfect condition to pleased customers.

Without recent change in ownership or management, the new-old
concern retains the name of its founder, Alfred F. Conard, who was its
pilot until he ‘‘crossed the bar.’ It also recognizes his successor,
Robert Pyle, the rose-grower, rose-lecturer and rose-author, who has
for a quarter of a century been progressively developing the service
and quality feature of this rapidly-expanding business.

Antoine Wintzer remains in The Conard-Pyle Company as Vice-
President. The first man in America to grow roses in quantity for a
catalogue business, a greater-than-Burbank with Cannas, his 77 years
of life have established him in the esteem of customers and associates.

The new-old firm, on the same but greatly extended acreage, is on
the main motor-way from Philadelphia to Baltimore and Washington,
and as well on the best through line from the west, via Harrisburg and
Wilmington, to Atlantic City. Write for route map; sketch below shows
location. The star sign over our own rose-garden indicates the place;

The Rose Garden at Our Office Door

STAR ‘ROSE SERVICE

HIS new and entirely different “Star Guide’’ or catalogue is
mtended not merely as a mail-order salesman, but to serve
an ideal vastly higher than that.

Through our Star Rose Service, as explained in the following
pages, it is hoped to make possible much greater and more delightful
success with Roses all over broad America. We believe the pleasures
and the benefits of outdoor Rose-growing may thus be brought to
thousands of roseless homes, to millions of men and women, boys and
girls. Far beyond the mere business end of it, and knowing that Roses
are the sweetest things God ever caused to grow from the ground, we
are thus striving to make available the wholesome and refreshing
touch that the Rose alone can give, through more Rose-gardens and
better Rose-gardens, in the home and in the community.

Toward these ends we have bent the best endeavors of an
organization built up with Roses, among Roses, for Roses and by
Roses for more than a quarter of a century.* It 1s this organization,
with its devoted personnel, its long experience, its unexcelled facili-
ties, that now sends out this new “Star Guide” as the basis of its “Star
Rose Service,” including an “insurance policy” or guarantee (see back
cover page) which takes the risk out of Rose-growing.

How can we do this? how can we assure Rose success? what is the
Star Rose Service?

At the véry beginning, through providing in the following pages

* What the National Bank of West Grove, Pa., says of us:

“To Whom it May Concern: It affords us pleasure to testify to the high standing and char-
acter of The Conard-Pyle Co. It is composed of practical, up-to-date nurserymen and Rose
specialists. In our opinion any statement they may make or any agreement into which they may
enter can be absolutely relied upon.’ A

* Ophelia H.T. Chaste, maidenly, sweetly formed, and richly scented, its
- pearly blooms swaying on graceful stems, Ophelia has been

worshipped for many years by all lovers of good Roses. It was, and is, one
of the most popular greenhouse sorts for cut-flowers, and has proved to be
an excellent Rose in the garden. The plant grows tall, not bushy, and often
throws up stout, branching canes bearing many flowers in long-stemmed
clusters. It Is a ‘dependable although not profuse bloomer, and the flowers
are almost always perfect. In hot weather they are apt to be creamy white,
while in cool autumn nights they develop rich tints of pink and shades of
gold. The plant is quite hardy. Stands second in the list of favorite
Roses as chosen by leading American experts. (See Star Index, page 8.)
It is greatly beloved and will continue to be a

favorite variety for many years. $1 each; 10 for $9;
$80 per 100.

12 Reliable Roses for $10

Of all the Roses in this catalogue, we have, with the aid of many other
experts, selected from various colors the following twelve to give the
greatest satisfaction over the widest area.

This set is, if possible, better than our former popular Reliable Set because
more painstakingly selected; see the top of the list on page 8. These
twelve will grow better together and produce a more pleasing variety than if
we had included, say, the high-growing Hybrid Perpetuals Frau Karl Druschki
and J. B. Clark, or even Jonkheer J. L. Mock and Mme. Butterfly which are
not greatly unlike Radiance and Ophelia.

If you have room for them why not plant an entire bed of each one of these
highly rated Roses.

Radiance. larpink Rosein America. Itstandsatthe top of thelist of 100
favorite varieties chosen by leading American experts (see page 8) because of its
exceptional liberality in blooming and its fine and lusty growth. The fragrant
flowers are large, globular but not compact, brilliant rose-pink, with lighter tints
on the inner surface of the petals. The shapely, big buds are borne on long stems
and open slowly. Wet weather sometimes interferes with the opening of the flowers.
The plant grows tall and bushy, throwing up bud after bud with the utmost
freedom. The foliage is disease-resistant, and the plant is one of the hardiest. This
Rose combines most of the qualities desirable. $1 each; 10 for $9; $80 per 100.

* Red Radiance. (illustrated in color on back cover.) Its big, bouncing
—————— blooms of cerise-red endear this Rose to all lovers of
the Queen of Flowers—so much so that within two years it has leaped from compara-
tive obscurity to fourth position in our Star-Index of 100 Best Roses (page 8).
It is a spendthrift bloomer, and the buds are particularly fine in the half-open state,
although the globular center has been known to ball. The flowers are quite good
for cutting, but also endure well in the garden and hold their color. The fra-
grance is sweet, and fairly strong. Growth is exceptionally fine, equaling, if not
better than, the famous Radiance of which our Red Radiance is the better one of
two sports. It is dependably hardy, and while not entirely immune, the foliage is
resistant to disease. $1 each; 10 for $9; $80 per 100.

STAR ROSE SERVICE (continued from page 3)

definitely helpful and unexaggerated information as to classes, colors,
varieties, uses, habits, and even deficiencies, of the Roses of which
we speak. This book, our catalogue, truly tells the Rose story.

Not only in words of truth is the story told, but the illustrations
also are closely accurate and authentic.

Further, two methods are used to provide safe guidance toward Rose success,
in so far as the catalogue is concerned. First, the varieties of most importance
are described quite fully and in larger type; second, there is a STAR INDEX
on page 8 listing 100 Everblooming preferred sorts, the preferment including,
after stx months of arduous study, a composite of experience and judgment prob-
ably more complete than any ever before presented.

This notable list has been compiled and evaluated through study of (a) all
known Rose awards in America and in Europe; (b) preferences expressed by our
customers and Rose friends both in letters and through the extent of their pur-
chases; (c) the various widespread referendum votes taken among members of
the American Rose Society; (d) our own carefully made field notes. (The mdex
on the inside back cover includes 234 varieties of Roses.)

But the best possible mformation as to what Roses are will not
of itself assure success. That largely depends upon the Rose plants
that are used. The whole basis of our Star Rose Service is the offering
in these pages of Star Rose plants as the best obtainable. It is upon this
rock that our success has been built and that our future depends.

These Star Roses are grown in the various selected varieties offered herein
with unusual care—the sort of care possible only in an organization with long
experience devoted to one end. This care is exerted not only upon the choice of
what Roses to grow, but how and where to grow them, so that they shall best
make good our guarantee and accomplish our ideals. Throughout the growing
season they are kept clean and are protected. When in the late fall they must be
dug so as to be available for shipping to Rose-hungry friends in all parts of
America, they are taken out of the ground so carefully as to retain all their roots
intact and thereafter handled so that they may retain all their vitality and vigor.

A Rose out of ground ts like a fish out of water, and few Roses can survive dried-
out roots. Star Roses are never permitted to dry out. Brought in from the fields
under shelter, they are carefully sorted, pruned, and stored, with roots kept m soil
(nature’s own way) with every precaution to keep the roots and tops in the pink
of condition. In our storage cellars heavy cork insulation and many tons of Ice,
when needed, help us to maintain the exact temperature which will prevent these
fine Roses from “getting excited” and starting growth before they should. (We
have yet to learn of a Rose-grower anywhere else going to so much effort and
expense In an endeavor to take the risk out of Rose-growing!)

This sedulous care follows the Rose to the very door-yard of the customer.
Instead of allowmg our Rose plants to be depleted of strength through winter
evaporation from the Iong growths which must be removed anyway before plant-
ing either in fall or spring; at large cost, we prune the Roses for planting before they
are stored, and conserve the vigor of the plants m so doing.

Every Star Rose is trade-marked, as any good article deserves to
be. The trade-mark is in the shape of a durable celluloid Star Iabel,
on the face of which is the name of the Rose, with our name and
address on the back. This neat, permanent, and inconspicuous label,
fastened on by weatherproof wire, is the sign and seal of a guaranteed

STAR ROSE SERVICE, continued

Star Rose, with the whole of our reputation and reliability back of
it. It should remain on the Rose.

Every improved method which will tend toward delivering to the
customer these fine Star plants in perfect condition ts followed. The
packing for shipment is elaborately careful, and is alike moisture-
conserving and frost-proof. We are proud of our packing and our
packages, and we find our customers also are proud of what they get
through them.

Further provision toward removing the risk of Rose-growing is found in the
succinct directions sent with each order telling how to handle the Roses when they
are received. Success too is promoted through the information and figures on
pages 10 and 11 showing various Rose forms, thus permitting the choice of those
best adapted to the particular place in mind.

We make choice easy not only by the Star Index to bush Roses on
page 8, but by grouping the Climbers on pages 58 to 69. The hardi-
est bush Roses for very cold climates are all together on pages 46 to 57.
The important “Baby Rambler” family is discussed on pages 44 and
45. The Tea Roses are on page 37, and the safest and best of the new
Roses are described on pages 38 to 43.

The most important section for the Jargest number of our Rose
friends includes the twenty-one pages—16 to 36—of the so-called
“Everblooming Roses.’ Within this important class there are sepa-
rations into color groups. The various shades of red appear on pages
16 to 21; the pink roses on 22 to 27; the white and tinted Roses on
pages 28 to 33; the yellow Roses on pages 34 to 36.

What About New Roses?

Not many of the newer Roses appear in that wonderful list on
page 8. Each year from 100 to 200 new Roses are mtroduced, over
80 per cent of them coming from Europe. A very small proportion
are enough better than existing sorts to make them really desirable.
It has seemed to us, therefore, better to assume the cost and the risk
of testing these new Roses ourselves, and to offer only those new
sorts (see pages 38 to 42) in the interest of our desire to take the risk
out of Rose-growing, which our own trials and the trials to which we
have access convince us are worth a place in these pages.

Our Research Department considers the new Roses of all the world, studies
them, compares them, and values them toward acceptance if worthy, or rejects
them in the absence of some notable advantage. We want every Rose furnished
anyone anywhere within the limits of our Star Rose Service not only to justify
our broadly-made guarantee, but to give pleasure and satisfaction through its
value, distinction and true service.

STAR INDEX 100 “BEST ROSES”

Until this publication, no attempt has ever been made, we believe, to do for the
amateur Rose-grower the service of study and rating that has helped the Iris-grower
and Peony “‘fan” to learn the comparative merits m the eyes of experts of his favorite
flower. Below follows the painstaking effort to give such accurate information for
Roses. The arrangement in order of preference reflects the judgment of no one person
or group, but is a composite, gathered throughout all America, from qualified amateurs
and experts. No important source of information has been omitted or misapplied.

* Duchess of Wellington. (Illustrated above.) The best yellow

Rose to date. In spite of the recent
avalanche of yellow varieties, good yellow Roses are rare, It will take a
mighty good one to dethrone this queenly old variety. Its lovely buds are
very long and pointed. They unfold slowly, changing from deep orange-
yellow to lemon and lighter shades. Half-open, there is nothing more
beautiful than its deep blooms of glowing yellow, but the open flower is de-
ficient in petals. The flowers are richly tea-scented, and freely produced, but
often hang their heads. The bush is a lusty grower, spreading wide, and
is unusually free from pests. It is often very hard to establish, but when it
is really at home, it is entirely hardy and can be depended upon. The less
it is pruned the better, particularly the lower, horizontal growths. Duchess
of Wellington is not perfect, but it is by far the finest, thoroughly tested
yellow Rose, and will be indispensable for many years. $1 each, 10 for $9,

$80 per 100.

OrpvER No. 4117 October 13, 1024

From the Duchess of Wellington bush which I ordered from you in the spring and planted
the 15th day of April we cut the 75th bloom yesterday and there are nine more buds that will
develop if frost does not come too soon. At one time in early September the bush had 27 buds

and all of them developed into fine Roses. This is the best record I have ever had for any
variety and any bush, and I believe it is a record for our Kansas climate.—Joun B. H.,
Newton, Kans.

Learn the Characteristics of Each Family of Rose Children
Before You Decide Upon Which Ones to Adopt

Landscape architects, the expert users of Roses, call for many different
types to fashion their garden pictures. The non-professional rose-planter
may add variety and novelty to the garden picture if he or she has knowl-
edge of each separate family and its traits. To help you, we indicate below
only a few of these families and the broader classifications. On page 12 are
some of the ways in which Roses may best be used. Each following para-
graph is numbered to correspond with illustrations at foot of pages 10 and 11.

1. Creeping Roses. (Wichuraiana.) See page 68.

The Wichuraiana Rose clings close to the ground. It throws out runners which
sucker and fasten themselves tightly, thus making them valuable on embankments,
as “‘a thing of beauty,” and also to prevent the soil from washing. Dorothy Perkins
and her sisters are Hybrids of Wichuraiana, and do not hug the ground so tightly as
do the mother Wichuraiana, Mrs. M. H. Walsh and Max Graf.

2. Baby Roses. (Polyanthas.) See pages 44 and 45.

Polyanthas, also called Baby Ramblers, even in the bush form which do not ramble
at all. They are remarkable for an almost constant display of bloom. Quantities of
small blossoms in clusters cover the bushes throughout a longer uninterrupted period
than almost any other Rose family. They are used as individual specimens, for low
hedges, for solid beds or for edging, and are unsurpassed for cemetery planting.

Ellen Poulsen, Lafayette and Gruss an Aachen have larger flowers than the other
Polyanthas.

3. Bush Roses.

We describe them here in two sizes: (a) and (b).

(a) SHORT. 15 to 30 inches. See pages 16 to 37.

Most of the Roses in the Tea and Hybrid Tea classes, like Ophelia, Radiance, and
the Roses in our Star Service Set (page 5).
(b) TALL. 3 to 4 feet or more. See pages 52 to 57.

Most of che Hybrid Perpetuals with larger and fewer a
flowers than the Hybrid Teas are in this Lot) cy
group, and some Hybrid ‘Teas, like IF]

Gruss an Teplitz. Among Hybrid Per- mn ARS)
petuals, Hugh Dickson, J. B. Clark and iN ASSO

4. Shrub-size Roses.

These Roses are too large to plant with other Roses in the Bush Rose beds. They
are best for use on the lawn, either in groups or as specimens, among the shrubbery.
The Rugosas, on page 49, make robust bushes, 3 to 4 feet through and 4 to 6
feet high. Some grow stronger than this. Their compactness and uniformity also
commend them for hedge uses. Harison’s Yellow (page 51) is in the shrub class, as is
the wonderful new Hugonis (shown on page 46); also the Moss Roses and Sweetbriar,
pages 50 and 51.

5. Pillar Roses.

This term is better known and more used abroad than in America. May Queen
and Ruby Queen Roses and others, including Tausendschén (page 65) and some too
large to be well-behaved Bush Roses, but not large enough to be vigorous climbers
are tied to a stake or support and called Pillar Roses. The stronger growing climbers,
like American Pillar (page 69), may be kept cut back and trained in this form.

6. Climbing Roses.

There is almost as much variety in Climbing Roses as in all
above five groups combined. The most valuable group of
Climbers are the hardy ones which bloom only during the spring
and early summer—the Multifloras and the Wichuraianas and
their Hybrids, bloom in clusters (see pages 60 to 69). Nearly
all of these grow to a great height (see cut, page 67). The
Wichuraiana family have most pliable branches which are
easily trained. The other large group of Climbers are less
hardy but bloom riotously in June and some during summer
and fall; they are climbing sports of the Teas, Hybrid Teas
and Polyanthas (see pages 58 and 59).

Hardiness of All Classes.

All Roses on pages 46 to 57,
also pages 60 to 69, are quite
hardy. Roses, pages 15 to 40 in-
clusive, need winter protection in
latitudes north of Philadelphia.
For winter protection, see Rose ays Z

with orders. »

“The success of the Rose in this country is very largely a question
of the selection of adaptable varieties.’,—DR. LIBERTY H. BAILEY

The preceding pages (10 and 11) will help you to avoid selecting those Roses not
well suited to your climate, and to a choice of the right ones for your locality. That
Is very important. Having received your Roses, do you yet realize in how many
different ways they may be used, what clever, original, and decorative arrangements
may be employed to make your home beautiful?

Let us note the climbing Roses, for example. It is
He Be difficult to Imagine a home with a square yard of sun-
ERE K>, touched ground that does not need at least one climbing
: Rose—indeed, one that covers the entire side of a house

may need only two cubic feet of soil to grow in.

(Please note the rose-embowered house on page 67.)

The tngenuity of our readers will conceive a greater

variety of uses than the few examples pictured on this
page. A more complete treatment of the subject will
be found in our book, “‘How to Grow Roses.” See

page 13.

A. For Trellis. For covering a trellis, select from
the climbers, pages 60 to 69, inclusive, and espe-
cially those on pages 62 to 64. A trellis may be made
of wood, wire, or other materials, and may be used
about the house, porch, or garden, or for a screen.

B. For an Archway. Use the same varieties as
for above. The archway is most effective over a
pathway or entrance.

C; Pergola. A pergola, like an open tunnel, made
up of a series of connected arches, should be covered

SPECIAL PURPOSE ROSES

SO MANY AMATEURS ARE GETTING INTERESTED in Rose Shows, in which
they compete for prizes, that we list here the varieties most suitable to grow for exhibi-
tion purposes. The fragrance of a Rose means more to many people than the form or
color, wherefore we help here also. In addition, we list the kinds most suitable for
hedges, pillars, growing as shrubs, growing under glass, and for covering embankments.

experts because of the extreme beauty of its well-formed flowers, alike
attractive in bud and bloom, and showing shades of salmon- pink, apricot and
orange almost impossible to describe. Plant vigorous where it is h: appy, and
with “good foliage, needing easily given protection from black-spot. It is a
somewhat temperamental Rose of varying performance, filling its friends with
unlimited enthusiasm where it does well, and evoking astonishment and
delight from those who are able to obtain only a few perfect blooms from it
each season. It is so remarkable for its brilliant color and beauty of form
that it is well worth any extra care which may be needed. It was awarded
the coveted Gold Medal at the Bagatelle Gardens in Paris in 1918, and is,
perhaps, the most popular Rose of American origin—next to Radiance.
Los Angeles has made perhaps the biggest sensation of any Rose since the
introduction of the Pernetiana race.

HYBRID TEA ROSES

YBRID TEAS are the most beautiful of everblooming Roses. From

earliest Rose-time until killing frost, they are scarcely ever without

bloom. The expensive Roses from the florists’ shops are Hybrid Teas,
many of which do well outdoors in beds where they cover themselves with
lovely flowers which may be cut at will. They provide mfinite variety in
form, in soft tints and sparkling colors. Some are double; some are single;
and there are all degrees between. There are delightful shades of white and
pink and red; yellow in all tones from cream to gold, and coppery hues like
burning bronze.

Midway between the Tea Roses and Hybrid Perpetuals, the Hybrid Teas
happily combine the better qualities of both. They bloom more constantly
than the Hybrid Perpetuals; they are more vigorous and hardy than the
Teas, and many of them are deliciously fragrant. They need protection from
zero weather and insects and diseases which try to bother them; but, on the
whole, they do better without coddling and need only common-sense at-
tention. Scattered through the followmg pages are varieties sometimes
called Pernetianas. These comprise Roses of rich yellow, orange, and bronze
shades with glossy foliage, alas, quite subject to black-spot but far too good
to miss.

The perfect Rose does not exist. No one variety combines all desirable
qualities in the superlative degree. The Roses listed in the following pages
are carefully chosen for individual qualities of growth or bloom, beauty of
form or fragrance. Each has points of excellence, and some have nearly all
the qualities that make a perfect Rose. For your convenience, we have
assembled them into color groups. Besides the Star Rose Index on p. 8, the
amount of space given to each is an indication of its merit, in so far as we
have learned by careful testing and consultation with competent rosarians.

at . A jolly, big Rose, chockfull of broad curled
Francis Scott Key. petals, w ith great round buds on tall strong

stems—a Rose to love and cherish in these days of so many loose- petaled
semi-double varieties. Its bright crimson color sometimes “blues,” and its
buds fail to open well in hot weather, but it is worth while waiting for perfect
blooms whose massive beauty commands admiration, especially in autumn.
It is not a faultless Rose, but one whose defects are overshadowed by its
great substance, perfect shape, hardiness and healthy growth. A seedling
from Radiance, from which it has inherited many good qualities, and like it,
an American-bred Rose. (See illustration, page 16.) $1 each.

xChateau de Clos Vougeot. The darkest red of all Roses—

velvety-crimson, with glints of fiery
scarlet and glistening black. Resplendent in its glowmg beauty and
most deliciously fragrant, it is a lovable, but often an exasperating Rose.
Flowers are not large, but extremely double, and of very good form, both
as a bud and open flower. Growth isunecertam and eccentric! It bloonis well
and seldom “blues”; stems are usually strong but low and horizontal. The
bush is quite hardy, but is apt to lose its foliage early. ee close together,
and toward the front of beds. $1 each.

*CRUSADER. Notable for its full, pointed flowers of fine form, great broad
petals, and heavy substance. Rich crimson-red, with somewhat lighter shading
toward the center. “Blues” badly in the garden, but both flower and color en-
dure a long time when cut in the bud form. Stems are long and strong; the bush
grows well but not any too vigorously; foliage is healthy, and it produces a fair
quantity of bloom. Comparatively a new Rose of American origin which deserves
wide testing. (See illustration, page 16.) $1 each.

*EDWARD MAWLEY. A delightfully fragrant Rose with fine, long buds
which open to a big, deep-petaled flower of brightest crimson. It is par-
ticularly good early in the season; in hot weather color is much lighter, and the
flower is then often deficient in petalage. Blooms liberally on fine stems when
growing vigorously; requires special attention to prevent black-spot to which it
is subject. A moderate grower, but quite hardy. $1 each.

*Admiral Ward. A Rose of large size and very beautiful color. Big black-
ish buds which open to well-formed flowers of crimson-red, shading toward
deeper red and velvety purple. Growth is moderate and it is a fair bloomer;
better in the autumn. $1 each.

*xAugustus Hartmann. A showy Rose of brilliant gerantum-red, shaded with
orange and of beautiful and distinct form. Best in cooler seasons, as hot
weather causes it to lose shape and color badly. Growth rather weak, and
foliage is lost early. Admirable for its color and fragrance. $1 each.

*CRIMSON QUEEN. An excellent Rose for cutting and indoor decoration.
The long, pointed buds open into handsome flowers of perfect shape and a rich
velvety crimson color. When fully open, it is only semi- -double, and while it
may “blue” in the garden, it is less liable to this fault when cut in bud—the best
way to cut any rose. The plant is a vigorous grower, throwing up strong canes
with good healthy foliage. $1 each.

every day all summer long. It has been grown in many locations, usually
being unsurpassed in its rich fragrance and contmued bloom.

The buds are shapely, the flowers medium im size, unusually double, and
of informal shape when fully open. The bright color lasts long, but unfavor-

RED HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued

*xGeneral MacArthur. PBrght crimson; notable for its fragrance, and
in many respects was long considered the

best bedding Rose of its color. The buds are well shaped, the open flower
usually full and of fair form, but in hot weather it is likely to open flat quickly
with few petals and not much color. It blooms persistently and is especially
fme i autumn. Foliage is almost immune to disease; plant quite hardy, but
not especially vigorous. $1 each.

*George C. Waud (Illustrated above.) Striking light red blended
$$ With orange, the flowers of this Rose are large,
very double, usually perfect in form, and with petals of fine substance. The
color seldom “blues.” Its fragrance is pleasant and spicy. The stems are long
and strong. It is good early in the season and is particularly fine in autumn;
the summer bloom is scant and off-color. Subject to black-spot, but is a good

grower and quite hardy. N. R.S. Gold Medal. $1 each.

ve . (Illustrated above.) Happy, cheery, and most
Gruss an Teplitz. friendly of all roses! A great big lusty fellow,

always nodding “howdy-do” with bunches of red posies. Too big for planting
among the other Hybrid Teas, it needs a place by itself where it can spread
its branches wide and hang out its fragrant crimson blooms. Although its
flowers are of fair form and size, it is not much of a Rose for cutting. It is
seldom out of bloom, and is intensely fragrant with the old sweet Rose
perfume that everybody loves. An indispensable Rose, and can even be
trained as a pillar, if so wanted (see page 11). $1 each.

*GENERAL-SUPERIOR ARNOLD JANSSEN. A fine, upstanding Rose of
glowing carmine, darker than pink but not quite crimson. The well-formed buds
open slowly into big sweet-scented flowers which hold their color well. The bush
is vigorous, quite hardy, and little subject to disease. Its most serious fault
is its long name. $1 each.

RED HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued

*HADLEY. (Illustrated above.) Rich, glorious red, shading to velvety purple.
Flower is double, of fine form, and very sweet. If you will cut the buds early,
you will find little reason to object to its bad habit of losing its fine color when
it fades. Fairly hardy, a moderate grower, but not a liberal bloomer, except as
a greenhouse Rose. Best in the cooler sections of the country. A. R. S. Gold
Medal, and deserves it, for it is one of the American-raised sorts that has
reached world prominence. $1 each.

xLaurent Carle (Illustrated above.) The massive glowing

- carmine blooms of this fine Rose are probably the
largest of all red Hybrid Teas. The buds are solid, very dark, and open
slowly to big, bold blooms of finest form, with broad, deep petals of great
substance. Its high-built, pomted center can only be equaled by those’
Hybrid Perpetuals whose flowers were carefully bred for exhibition. The
wide-open flower is unusually pleasing in shape, and holds its color. Fragrance
is strong and well retained until the petals fall. It is a dependable bloomer if
protected against black-spot, and even in the hottest weather will produce
fine blooms, but not in any great quantity at one time. It grows vigorously,
but quite low and branching, so that although the flowers are unsurpassed
for cutting, the stems are not always long. $1 each.

*H. V. MACHIN. This Rose makes a hearty splash of bright, true red, with
brave flowers firmly set on sturdy stems. The large buds are very dark, and
remain in the lovely half-open state for several days; they also sometimes ball.
The open Rose is fully double, but quite loose in the center and much brighter
than the bud, and is not very fragrant. The color is apt to “blue.” It is nota
continuous bloomer, the flowers coming in crops, two or three times a season.
This Rose is very close to the Hybrid Perpetuals, which it resembles in vigor, but
does not grow so tall. It is very hardy, but somewhat subject to black-spot.
A Rose with certain failings, but too beautiful to miss; especially effective in

masses. N.R.S. Gold Medal. $1 each.

*HOOSIER BEAUTY. sated above.) Big, torch-like blooms of dusky
red, opening from glowing slender buds; quite double, with wide-spreading but-
terfly petals surrounding an exquisite center. Among the better Roses for cut-
ting, enduring a long while, retaining its color well, and keeping its full and fine
perfume until the petals fall. Even in the garden it does not “blue” so badly as
many red Roses. Not a prolific bloomer, but may be depended upon to furnish a
fair number of fine flowers. The plant is ordinarily a moderate grower, but often
throws up vigorous branching canes bearing six or seven flowers on long, grace-
ful stems like a giant candelabrum. It will sometimes hang its head. A rose of
American origin whose rare beauty is unsurpassed in itscolor. N. R.S. Gold Medal.

*RED RADIANCE. (Illustrated in natural color on back cover and de-
scribed on page 5.)

*EUGENE E. MARLITT. Not a Hybrid Tea, but a Bourbon Rose, belonging
to a beautiful old race of which only a very few of the very best varieties have
survived. The flowers are dark carmine-red, very double, deliciously scented,
and come in bunches of three or four on strong stems. It is a vigorously growing,

open quickly, the bright red petals curling crisply against a background of old-
gold. The fully open flower is Ioosely formed, and of clear red, with yellow
glimpses where the petals twist. A new Rose of absolutely unique coloration,
whose growth characteristics have yet to be Iearned by wide testing. It seems to
be a fairly liberal bloomer, a strong grower, and quite hardy. It is still so new that
its resistance to disease has not yet been determined. A spectacular Rose of much

HYBRID TEA ROSES—SHADES OF PINK
*Jonkheer J. L. Mock. (IIlustrated above.) An imposing Rose,

of magnificent size, with petals of ex-
ceedingly heavy substance, delicately reflexed, showing light, creamy pink
against a background of brilliant deep carmine. At its best in hottest weather,
because Its great petalage requires heat to develop and open properly. The
color fades slightly, and its delicate perfume is quite fleeting. The flower-
stems are notably erect and stiff. It grows tall, but is not bushy. The foliage
is subject to black-spot and is likely to be lost early unless protected against
it. The plant is quite hardy, but not a profuse bloomer. In spite of its
faults, deserves a place in every garden. Bagatelle Gold Medal. $1 each.

2 Considered the best of all the Killarney sports
*Killarney Queen. because of its somewhat fuller flowers. It is a
sprightly pink, and brightest in hot weather. The bud has the same lovely
form as all the Killarneys, but slightly fuller, and is sweetly perfumed. The
young growth and foliage is beautiful bronzy green. It is a vigorous grower,
suitable for low hedges where the temperature does not drop to zero; but
for general purposes It is quite hardy. It is a dependable bloomer and a very
popular Rose in dry climates, where it mildews less. $1 each.

*MME. GUSTAVE METZ (Frau Karl Smid). A vigorously growing Rose,
producing large, very double blooms of soft, light pink, shading to creamy white
in the center; the perfume slight. Recommended for cutting and for bedding—
a good summer bloomer. Somewhat susceptible to mildew; quite hardy. $1 each.

*Lady Alice Stanley. (Illustrated above.) A noble Rose of largest

size and finest shape. Exquisite flesh-pink,
shaded with rich coral in the center and on the reverse of petals. Flowers
are borne on strong, erect stems—fine for cutting. Strong growing, healthy,
with broad, distinctive foliage seldom attacked by insects. $1 each.

PINK HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued

*KILLARNEY BRILLIANT. Clean, refreshing, wild-rose-pink, more brilliant
than the old Killarney which was a favorite for so many years. Its slender, long-
stemmed buds are unsurpassed for cutting, and the vigorously growing, bronzy
leaved bush always makes a bright sparkle in the garden. It is very hardy.
Foliage is susceptible to mildew, but its wide-open, almost single flowers are so
frank and cheerful that it deserves its many friends. $1 each.

*KONIGIN CAROLA. Large, perfectly formed buds. Open flower very
large, double, and quite shapely. Bright rose with a satin sheen, reverse of petals
lighter. Blooms singly on stiff stems of good length. Growth strong; fairly resist-
ant to pests. A persistent, but not profuse bloomer. $1 each.

*Lady Ashtown (Illustrated above.) Brilliant shining pink with a

- golden underglow, unsurpassed in Rose colors.
Flower moderately large, with a fine, high-pointed center, borne singly on
erect stems. Blooms abundantly over a long season, but flowers are apt to
lose shape in hot weather. Bush grows lustily, but is not always resistant to
disease. Very hardy, and indispensable where winters are severe. $1 each.

*xLady Ursula (Illustrated above.) A very dependable, almost flawless

- Rose, distinguished by extremely vigorous growth.
Practically immune to disease. Blooms continuously into freezing
weather. Flowers of medium size, light flesh-pink, with shell-like petals
reflexing from a delicately shaped bud. Lasts well when cut. Charming,
and an easy Rose to grow. $1 each.

*La France. Intensely fragrant. Light silvery pink, very double. Flowers
do not open well at times. Strong grower, moderate bloomer. The oldest Hybrid
Tea Rose and very much beloved where it succeeds. $1 each.

*LA TOSCA. Flowers bright silvery pink with darker center; medium
size, open shell shape, and often rather thin. Remarkable for its very vigorous
growth, its extremely free-blooming habit, and resistance to disease. Best in the
colder sections, and in cool seasons. Fine for garden decoration. $1 each.

*Columbia. florist’s Rose that has come to stand high (No. 8) in
our Star Index of favorite garden varieties (see page 8). Its large and firm
buds open very slowly to wide, impressive flowers whose color deepens as it
expands to a rich rose-pink, slightly tinged with yellow at the base of the
petals. The stems are Jong and very strong, making it ideal for cutting
because of its heavy substance and fine lasting quality. It 1s delightfully
fragrant. This Rose is particularly good in the cooler seasons, when the
color is richer and it produces flower after flower with great freedom. It
does not bloom so well in hot weather, when the buds may be short and
puckery, and the flowers not so good. The plant grows fairly well, but is
chiefly made up of flower-stems. Reasonably hardy, but careful protection
in the colder regions will be found advisable. It has few thorns, and the
foliage is healthy. Awarded Hubbard Gold Medal of American Rose Society.
Price $1 each; $9 for 10; $80 per 100.

PINK HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued

*xMme. Caroline Testout, !he “gtand old lady” of Rosedom,

: - and a general favorite everywhere.
It is unbeatable in the cooler regions, where it grows most vigorously and
covers itself with its silky globular flowers. In Portland, Ore., it is planted
extensively between the curbs and sidewalks along many streets, and there
flourishes luxurtantly. The flowers are of large size, bright rose-pink, and
delightfully fragrant. In most sections it is a fairly strong grower, in some
places subject to black-spot, a steady but not prolific bloomer, and extremely
hardy. (See illustration, page 27.) $1 each.

*Mme. Jules Grolez. A piquant, pointed Rose of fairly Iarge size on good
stems for cutting. The color is bright rose-pink, which sometimes ‘“‘blues” in
hot weather; fragrance sweet but not strong. Especially desirable for its extreme
hardiness and resistance to disease. The foliage remains clean and strong under
almost all conditions. Moderate and rather low grower. $1 each.

*Mrs. Charles Russell. Large, full flowers of rosy carmine, on very strong
stems, and quite fragrant. The flower does not keep well in the garden, but it has
long been noted as one of the finest cut Roses when grown by the florist. A fair
grower, resistant to disease, hardy, but not very free-blooming. Of American
origin. $1 each.

*Mrs. George Shawyer. Rose-pink blooms of large size and excellent shape,
both as bud and open flower. Has fine stems and Is good for cutting; fairly
fragrant in the early stages. Very susceptible to mildew in moist regions, but a
good Rose for the drier sections, and at its best in hot weather. A good grower
and bloomer; quite hardy. N.R. S. Certificate of Merit. $1 each.

*MRS. WM. C. EGAN. Very large and firm, beautifully shaped buds, with
long, deep petals, opening to a large flower of ideal form, delicately shaded with
two light tones of pink, and touched with yellow at the base. The stems are long,
slender, and usually strong, providing a beautiful and lasting cut-flower. The
bush is unusually vigorous, branching, and almost always in bloom. It is very

PINK HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued

= *Pharisaer. Large, silvery pink
blooms with rosy tints in the center.
It is not a very double Rose, but the
bud is lovely, and the flower holds its
shape well when fully open. The color
seldom fades, and the light perfume is
rather fleeting. The stems are long,
slender, and not always sufficiently
strong. A tall, rather bushy grower
with slightly thin leaves, somewhat
subject to black-spot, although often
surprisingly resistant. A continuous,
liberal bloomer, especially in the cooler
parts of the country and in cool seasons.
Hot weather causes it to open too
quickly. The plant is very hardy. A
deserving Rose, whose lack of fullness
is its chief defect but one easily for-
given because of its other fine qualities.

$1 each.
*MRS. WAKEFIELD CHRISTIE-MILLER. A laughing, tousle-headed pink

Rose, so sturdy and dependable that it is a necessity In every garden. It is a

stocky, stubby grower, with blunt canes bearing Iarge bunches of big, fluffy

flowers, bright rose and pearly pink. One of the very best for bedding, an ex-

ceptionally liberal bloomer, and very hardy. Its decidedly informal shape is its

only handicap, but even that is pleasing. A Rose which grows in esteem more and

Be each year—a good friend and a jolly one. N.R.S. Certificate of Merit.
each.

*PREMIER. A rich, dark pink, American-born Rose with fine, long buds and
big, deep-petaled blooms. It is one of the most popular of cut-flowers, when grown
by the florist, and always arouses enthusiasm when seen at its best in the garden.
It is sweetly scented, of fine form, with splendid stems, but of quite varying
performance outdoors. The color “blues” badly in heat, and it seems to do best
in the more northerly sections, where it is reported to be of fine growth and free-
flowering. It has very few thorns, is reasonably hardy, and has fine foliage which
needs protection from black-spot. $1 each.

*PRINCE DE BULGARIE. Closely resembles Antoine Rivoire than which
it is much more free flowering. Long-petaled buds of pearly pink, flushed with
salmon and yellow, on straight, wiry stems. An excellent Rose of variable color,
being decidedly light pink early mn the season, almost white in hot weather, and
heavily shaded with golden yellow in the fall. It is sweetly fragrant, and good
when cut; best in the cooler parts of the country, where the color Is more
intense and enduring. Grows tall and blooms well all summer. $1 each.

borne on Jong stems which are not always erect, and sometimes a trifle weak.
The plant grows vigorously, is of branching habit, not very thorny, and is
both hardy and healthy. It blooms with remarkable freedom and opens its
flowers well. (See illustration, page 26.) $1 each.

xSouvenir de Georges Pernet Astonishingly large, this new

- bright-colored beauty is wortha
place in every garden. The big, fat buds are borne on strong, short stems and
disclose fiery copper hues as they open slowly to an enormous, globular flower
of many petals, brilliant orange-pink, sweetly perfumed, and very lasting.
The bush ts a stubby grower, branching, and very thorny. The foliage is hard
and shining, apparently more resistant to black-spot than most varieties of
this type of Roses. $1 each.

*SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT. Classical, formal, and imposing,
this Rose queens it over competitors by perfection of form, remarkable substance,
and size.. The flowers are very double, silvery white, with a pink flush and deeper
tints in the center. It Is a poor grower, a shy bloomer, and only faintly fragrant.
The foliage is healthy, and the plant quite hardy. Worth while for its extremely
beautiful flowers, even though they are few. $1 each.

*William Shean. Unsurpassed at its best, this Rose has enormous petals and
unbelievable depth of bloom, which ts clear pink with silvery tones, and slightly
fragrant. Stem is usually weak; plant an erratic grower, and foliage often lost
early. Nota Rose for everybody, but a delight to the lover of unique and beautiful
Roses. N. R.S. Gold Medal. $1 each.

*Winnie Davis. Attractive apricot-pink in the center, paling toward the
edges. The flowers are of medium size, of very good form, and are produced
freely on good stems. Does well in the South, and deserves wider use. $1 each.

Cheerful Isobel

HYBRID TEA ROSES IN TINTED SHADES

_xArthur R. Goodwin. Coppery orange buds, opening into double flowers of
bright salmon-pink, which fades in hot weather. Growth low, very branching and
thorny. Foliage needs protection against black-spot. Fairly hardy. $1 each.

*BETTY. A dependable Rose with beautiful, coppery buds of exquisite form,
and large and very attractive pale pink flowers with a golden sheen; golden yellow
center. The color fades quickly in hot weather, and then the flowers are apt to
hang their heads. The bush is lusty, but its distinctive foliage sometimes black-
spots. A hardy and satisfactory Rose, very fine early in the season, and even
better in the fall, when the stems are stronger and the color does not fade.

N. R. S. Gold Medal. $1 each.

*CHEERFUL. (I!lustrated above.) Unusually bright pmk, lit by a sunny
yellow glow—truly a cheerful color. The buds are large, orange-pink, and open
slowly; the flower is typical semi-double cup shape of regular formation. A good
bloomer in early summer, and dependably Peedrebae only a moderate grower, and
its glossy foliage requires protection against midsummer black-spot. Keeps

well when cut. N. R.S. Gold Medal. $1 each.

*xCOUNTESS OF GOSFORD. A brightly colored Rose of salmon-pink,
suffused with yellow. Flowers very large, somewhat resembling Killarney in
form, and borne singly on strong stems. The plant blooms freely, 1s quite hardy,
grows well; the foliage is liable to mildew. An exquisite old Rose which is not well
known, and deserves wider acquaintance. $1 each.

*Dorothy Page-Roberts: Glowing pink buds of large size, opening to a
coppery pink bloom with yellow shadings. The stems are long and strong and the
plant grows very tall. The color fades quickly, and the foliage is somewhat
subject to disease. It Is a moderate bloomer and not very fragrant. Notable

for its beautiful color. Bagatelle Medal; N.R.S. Gold Medal. $1 each.

xIsobel. (Illustrated above.) Flowers of large size, single; scarlet-orange with
clear yellow center and fading to a clear pink. A delightful rose m early sum-
mer and a continuous bloomer. Growth fair. $1 each.

*xMme. Edouard Herriot (The Daily Mail Rose). This vivid

Rose, before any other kind, gets and
grips the gaze of visitors as they enter our Rose-Garden. The large buds glow
like dusky fire, and the newly opened blooms like red-hot copper which
soon changes to a pleasing orange-pink. Its fairly large, semi-double flowers
are well formed in the early stage, but open too quickly mn hot weather; the
stems are often weak. The bush blooms freely, i several successive crops,
and is a tall, bushy grower, with many thorns, and dark foliage requiring
protection against black- -spot. It is very hardy, ‘and is the best of the tested
varieties in this color. Winner of N. R.S. and Bagatelle Gold Medals, also
$5,000 prize offered by the Dailv

produce many more of its marvel-
ously colored flowers if it is only

lightly pruned. $1 each;

TINTED HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued

*GORGEOUS. Well named for its soft shade of orange, flushed with copper,
red and pink. Flowers are very double and of fine form for this type of Rose. Color
fades quickly in hot weather—best in the cooler seasons. Foliage likely to be
lost early. Good for its ravishing color. $1 each.

*Lady Pirrie. Lovely buds of salmon-copper; open flower fawn-yellow, and
pink. Growth strong. Prolific bloomer. Very fine garden Roses. $1 each.

*Los Angeles. Illustrated in color and described on page 15.

xLouise Catherine Breslau (Illustrated above.) Astonishing In
~ color. Salmon-red buds, opening to

large flowers of orange-pink, glowing with yellow and copper. Double, but
not of the finest form when fully open. Color fades in strong sunlight, but is
retained well when cut. Stem is stiff, but not long. Growth bushy and vig-
orous; foliage glossy. Repays extra care and Is effective in beds. $1 each.

*Mme. Abel Chatenay. Prized for its free-flowering habit and extremely
beautiful buds and blooms of carmine-rose, with reflexed petals showing light
salmon tints. The bush ts vigorous, but eccentric in growth, and the foliage is not
very good. In spite of its defects it has been a favorite for years. $1 each.

x This American sport of the favorite Ophelia has

Mme. Butterfly. delicately modeled flowers of tender pmk and

gold, and is one of the sweetest and most pleasing Roses. Its lovely spiral
buds slowly unfold into a big, full-petaled flower of charming shape and
dreamy color, very highly scented, and lasting unusually long. The stems
are fine and very strong, making It one of the best Roses for cutting. It Is
better for a little shade in the garden, as the hot sun its likely to bleach it
somewhat. The bush is quite vigorous, growing tall, but not bushy; and the
flowers sometimes come in big branching sprays unless disbudded. A
deliberate and steady bloomer, quite hardy, and fairly healthy. It is already
a favorite of the members of the American Rose Society. A. R. S. Certificate
of Merit. $1 each.

ee ~colorng of orange and copper, yellow and

fawn, this Rose deservedly won the coveted Bagatelle prize in 1921. Quite
large, globular flowers, ilumimed with glowing hues, are freely produced on an
erect branching plant. The flowers sometimes fail to open well, but in spite of
this the marvelous color entitles it to a place in every garden. Hardy. $1 each.

- headed tomboy among * Roses.

Remarkable for its vigorous, branching growth and its long reddish buff
buds of finest shape. The open flowers are coppery gold, but quickly

autumn, that the bush is nearly always a spot of rollicking color. $1 each.
*MISS CYNTHIA FORDE. A lovely reminder of the days of “‘prunes and
prisms,” with every petal carefully arranged in its large and very erfeet flowers.
Sweetly scented blooms, very durable, and bright rose-pink, with heealy outlined

edges. Bush is erect, with many vigorous canes. A dependable, steady and deliber-
ate Rose—not a “‘thriller’” in any sense. N. R. S. Certificate of Merit. $1 each.

pointed foliage which is almost immune to pests. $1 each.

The New Kind of
Roses for Many

Places

Named for the
daughter of the late
Secretary of Agricul-
ture, originated under
Government auspices
by the late Dr.W.Van
Fleet, this wonderful
Rose was sent out last
year under an _ ar-
rangement between
the Federal Bureau
of Plant Industry and
the American Rose
Society.

It will climb, if you
want it to, 10 feet or
more each year; it will
make a graceful speci-
men plant, or a won-
derful hedge, or a conspicuous pillar. Mary Wallace stands alone.

Lovely Tong buds of a shade of warm pink peculiar to itself and very
attractive; great open flowers that will halt the passer-by; rich green leafage
that resists “bugs and bothers, the forerunner of a new type—a class of dis-
tinctively American Roses. $1.50 each; 10 for $12.50; $100 per 100.

thorns. Combined with Tausendschén and the darker pink Roserie, it affords an
extraordinary symphony of colors in climbing Roses that are similar in shape

You cannot resist bemg enthusiastic over these Roses. They are hardy, low
in growth, continuous bloomers, and, once planted, crease in beauty yearly.

In this class are different varieties of Polyanthas, the small-flowered Baby
Ramblers, and the larger-flowered kinds, such as Ellen Poulsen, and the new
Lafayette. All are suitable for bordering paths or for planting in front of taller
Roses. Keep the dead flowers cut off to encourage fresh bloom. Polyantha Roses
are quite bardy, and bloom unceasingly all summer and until frost.

Before other Roses are awake in Spring, Hugonis throws its slender sprays abroad wreathed in
softest yellow—and all of us who still believe in fairies know it came from fairyland

HUGONIS: “Golden Rose of China”

Also called ‘‘Father Hugo’s Rose.’’ Blooms three weeks earlier than most other Roses.
(See color picture on page opposite)

An altogether different Rose, bearing no resemblance to any American
species or “‘wild’? Rose, this Chinese native is a notable contribution to
American gardens. Every branch of the previous year’s growth is, in late
April or early May, closely set on both sides to the very tip with exquisitely
beautiful, single, clear yellow flowers, almost concealing the foliage. The
flowers are really and truly yellow, not merely primrose or straw color.

The long, arching sprays make Hugonis not only a beautiful shrub, to be planted,
if one so prefers, with other shrubs, but when cut are charming as table decorations.
The crepe-like blooms harmonize with snowy linen and silver.

The Hugonis Rose makes a symmetrical bush about 6 feet wide and high when
matured. The beautiful reddish maroon growths spring from the roots and are in
themselves most attractive. In late fall the foliage turns to a pleasing purple.

This “Golden Rose of China” is ruggedly hardy everywhere in America.
It needs neither protection nor pruning, save in the occasional cutting out of
the older shoots. Each spring the previous yee s growth of graceful
maroon wands will be laden with curving branches of f colden loveliness.

We are “headquarters” for Hugonis, “and have for ten years prominently
presented in color and in description this notable Chinese beauty to the American
public. We expect to grow fully a hundred thousand plants of it this year.

OTHER DESIRABLE ROSE SPECIES

There are other of these natural or species Roses, also called “wild’’ Roses,
that are much used im landscape planting for their lovely wild flowers and “‘hips.”
They grow freely, and may well be planted in great masses.

ROSA BLANDA. This wild Rose of northeastern North America has slender
stems up to 5 feet high, covered in May and June with pink flowers more than
2 inches across, followed by globular fruits. $1 each.

ROSA CAROLINA (R. humilis). This species grows 4 to 6 feet high, producing
pink flowers about 2 inches across in June and July, with masses of red hips
enduring into fall and winter. $1 each.

ROSA SETIGERA. The “Prairie Rose” of eastern America, growing to 6 feet

in height; foliage bluish green color; in June and July has clusters of pink flowers
2 inches across. Will climb to 10 feet. $1 each.

ROSA VIRGINIANA (R. lucida). Very effective when permitted to reach its
natural height of 4 to 6 feet; has a cloud of bright pink flowers in June and July,
amid glossy green foliage, succeeded by brilliant red hips that last long. $1 each.

ROSA WATSONIANA. Has been called “the ostrich-feathered Rose’”’ be-
cause of its peculiar cut foliage, utterly unlike that of any other Rose, making it
a highly ornamental shrub w hich in late June presents great bunches of tiny
white or pink flowers. It will need some protection north of Pittsburgh. $1 each.

ROSA XANTHINA. A strong-growing, broad-thorned, maroon-stemmed Rose
of graceful habit coming from Turkestan and Afghanistan, and covered in early
spring with sulphur yellow flowers of most distinct character. $1 each.

The Great Tea-Rugosa.
Splendid for Hedges
and Pillars

& ESort

The single flowers of the original White and Red Rugosas are intensely fragrant and are followed
by large brilliant red seed “hips,” beautiful among the dark green foliage

BPeONCEAD= RUGOSA’ ROSE'S

Rugosa Roses in their original form are the only absolutely hardy “‘ever-
blooming” Roses. They spread freely from the roots. The hybrids, for the
most part, are equally hardy, retain the recurrent blooming habit, but are less
liable to spread. They are very spiny, growing vigorously from 4 to 10 feet
high. The foliage is bright green, rough, and curiously wrinkled. They
require little attention beyond thinning out the dead wood and keeping them
in bounds. They are too rank to plant among Hybrid Tea Roses, but they
make fine hedges and enclosures for the Rose-garden, or backgrounds in
shrubbery, or as single specimens. They are indestructibly hardy and will
grow almost anywhere—even on barren wind-swept slopes and seashore
sand. Rugosa Roses laugh at insects and diseases, which bother them very
little. In short, they ask for the least of care.

*CONRAD F. MEYER. (Illustrated on opposite page.) The finest of the
Hybrid Rugosas, producing very fragrant, silvery pink eee of large size, equal
to Hybrid Teas in form. It blooms heavily in June and occasionally thereafter.
The bush is extremely vigorous—give it plenty of room, at least 3 feet on every
side; or against a building or over an Ln er its 6, 8, or 10 feet of growth may
easily be trained. The foliage differs from the type in being less corrugated. The
plant, while not so hardy, is sufficiently rugged for almost all situations. $1 each.

*F. J. GROOTENDORST. A new combination of the baby ramblers with
the Rugosa. Bright red flowers of small size, fringed and double, produced freely
and continuously in large bunches, through spring, summer, and fall. It will, if
allowed, in three years, reach a height of 5 feet or more, with foliage almost equal
to the original Rugosa. Though it can easily be kept lower, it makes a splendid
shrub or specimen bush, or the finest type of everblooming hedge. $1 each.

*MAX GRAF. A new trailing Rugosa, with clusters of large and lovely
bright rosy pink single flowers, borne freely in June, seldom blooming afterward.
Extremely hardy, grows vigorously, and is highly desirable for planting on em-
bankments or trailing over rocks, mixing splendidly with the Wichuraianas.
The foliage is unique, fairly disease-proof, and very beautiful. $1 each.

*NOVA ZEMBLA. An almost white sport from Conrad F. Meyer, which it
resembles. It is not quite so vigorous, but it blooms more freely late in the season,
and if anything, more hardy. Looks well planted with its parent. $1 each.

*NEW CENTURY. Flowers large, pale pink, with deeper shaded center; very
double and fragrant. Blooms intermittently all summer; growth vigorous and
hardy. Declared in Europe the “finest Hybrid Rugosa.” $1 each.

*xSIR THOMAS LIPTON. Double white flowers of large size, borne freely
all summer and fall on a sturdy, ironclad bush of great size, which has the desirable
foliage of the original Rugosa. Very hardy. $1 each.

*ROSA RUGOSA ALBA. (Illustrated on opposite page.) A white-flowered
form of the original! species. Bud is delicately tinted with pink, but opens into a
large, five-petaled flower of great beauty. Very desirable. $1 each.

*ROSA RUGOSA RUBRA. The original “‘species” wild Rose from Japan
and Kamchatka. Fine for massing or Fedcess absolutely hardy. Vigorous, very
spiny, with rough, wrinkled foliage. Flowers are large, five-petaled, and very
fragrant, varying from bright pink to deep carmine, with big golden centers.
It blooms very early, and continues all summer, leaving behind a wealth of enor-
mous seed-hips like little apples. $1 each.

OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY ROSES

Under this heading we include several
of the old-time, hardy Moss Roses,
whose peculiar charm is still strong, and
grips us with memories of childhood and
old-fashioned gardens. They are all
delightfully fragrant, perfectly hardy,
and need little attention, although

they are better if well cared for.
> They should have good
soil and an_ occasional
thinning of the old wood.
We also include other
old varieties, now rather
scarce, and some com-
paratively new Roses of
unusual color which can-
not be reasonably classi-
fied elsewhere. Here you would
naturally find the formal Standard
or ““Tree’”’ Roses which are valued
when they can be successfully
placed and maintained. In the
past, Tree Roses for America
were grown in Europe. They may no longer be
Imported. In consequence of experiments now
under way, we hope soon to produce our own.

HARDY MOSS. ROSES

*BLANCHE MOREAU. An old-fashioned Rose of strong growth, blooming
freely in early June. The flowers are white, quite large, very double, borne in
small trusses, and very sweet. The buds are thickly covered with soft and
fragrant moss. June-flowering only. $1 each.

*CRESTED MOSS. Also called Chapeau de Napoleon, because of the bud’s
resemblance to Napoleon’s hat. Strong, erect-growing bush with large bright pmk
blooms, intensely fragrant, and borne m clusters of three. The curious buds are
very large, and the sepals heavily fringed with a wide mossy frill, totally distinct
from aii other Moss Roses. June-flowering only. $1 each.

*BENRI MARTIN. One of the few red Moss Roses left us from the wealth
of old-time varieties. The flowers are rather small, bright crimson, and not so
double as most. It is lightly mossed. Red Moss Roses were never much of a
es and this variety seems to be the best obtainable. June-flowering only.

1 each.

*PRINCESS ADELAIDE. A big, strong-growing bush with fine, crinkly
leaves of great size, and enormous flowers of bright, shining pink, not too double,
and very sweet. The large buds are heavily mossed, somewhat bronzy, and some-
times apt to split before opening properly. June-flowermg only. $1 each.

*YORK AND LANCASTER. Often
confused with Rosa Mundi to which
it is similar. A Damask Rose nearly
four centuries old. In the large, semi-
double, flat-opening flowers the colors
are attractively mingled—part red,
part white; very sweet. Spreads from
the roots. Noted for the legend that
connects it with the War of the Roses.
The true variety has become quite
rare. $1 each.

*HARISON’S YELLOW. The
cheery yellow Rose of the old-time
door-yards. Tough, wiry, almast in-
destructible, it is an unspeakable
delight when covered with its sparkling
yellow flowers in late May and early
June, set amid fragrant foliage. It
hates the knife; do not prune it, ex-
cept to take out dead canes. A good
shrub, made better by its small
— healthy foliage, which is retained until
Harison’s Yellow hard frost. (See illustration.) $1 each.

* JULIET. Color brilliant and bizarre—inside of petals carmine, outside dull
gold. Buds large; open flower cupped and very double. Tall growth. Blooms only
once each season. Very desirable. $1 each.

*Soleil d’Or. Gorgeously glowing Rose of orange-yellow with red-
dish markings. Flowers very double, but of uncertain
form. Grows tall and blooms liberally m June with the Hybrid Perpetuals but
seldom afterwards. Foliage is subject to black-spot and canes die back.
Notable as being the first of the marvelously colored Pernetianas. $1 each.

ENGLISH SWEETBRIAR. The wild Eglantine of England (Rosa rubiginosa),
and now naturalized in America; celebrated in song and story. Flowers are small,
single, bright pink, and very fleeting. Treasured for the delightful and pungent
fragrance of its foliage, which it exhales in the damp of early morning. Some
people succeed in making a most satisfactory hedge of Sweetbriar Roses. In some
localities they Jose their leaves early. $1 each.

*BRirdie Blve This Rose has brought us more unsolicited testimo-

Y©: nials than almost any other variety. It blooms continu-
ously from June till frost and is one of Dr. W. Van Fleet’s greatest
productions, which we introduced. A perfectly hardy Rose with cup-shaped,
faintiy scented, bright satiny pink blossoms, which are only medium in
size, but a well matured bush is always in bloom. Growth is about 4 feet,
so do not use this in a Rose-bed. It makes a fine specimen bush or pillar
Rose. $1 each.

*HERMOSA. For continuous bloom, this Rose is a veritable wonder. The
flowers are light pink, well-formed, and borne in clusters. Very fine for border-
ing driveways because of its hardy, neat growth. A quaint, old-fashioned Rose,
whose free blooming, healthy growth, and general cheerfulness puts many mod-
ern beauties to shame. $1 each.

HYBRID PERPETUAL KROSEo

THE DEPENDABLE HARDY JUNE BLOOMERS

This family of Roses are perfectly at home m the North because they are
very hardy, though winter protection will not hurt them a bit. A few of them,
like Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, George Arends, and some others,
do bloom again in the autumn or late summer, but the majority do not deserve
the name Perpetual as to bloom. No word, however, can describe their
appearance In June, when they burst like silent fireworks, glorifying the
garden with a profusion of giant, fragrant Roses, radiant in white and red and
pink. There are no reliable yellows.

This class is not so liable to black-spot as are the Pernetianas, but some
kinds, like General Jacqueminot, Ulrich Brunner, and Magna Charta, and
even Frau K. Druschki, will be bothered with both mildew and black-spot
if these diseases are prevalent near by and unchecked.

During the weeks of June and early July, the Hybrid Perpetuals produce
far more flowers than any everblooming sort, and almost all of them can be
made to bloom in the fall by proper pruning and feeding, but they are alto-
gether worth while for their unique June splendor alone. In this class are
found the noblest red Roses, filled to the brim with true Rose perfume, and
old varieties as rich in their hert-
tage of sentiment as in beauty. Frau Karl Druschki. The finest

nately, scentless. If disbudded, the flowers which are allowed to mature
will prove an immense satisfaction. The plant is a strong and vigorous
grower, making branches from six to eight feet high in a season. It does
best with but moderate pruning, and it has the admirable habit of bloom-
ing almost continually, so that it is dependable for white Roses from early
June until frost. Care should be taken to check its tendency to mildew.
Many candidates for its place have appeared, only to increase the continued
popularity of this great variety. $1 each. (See illustration on page opposite.)

* J.B. Clark. throwing up stout, thorny canes, 6, 10, and possibly
12 feet high. When properly trained it makes a magnificent bush, and, if
desired, it can be successfully used as a pillar Rose or bent in at the top and
tied together in a balloon form. A little care is necessary to keep it within the
bounds of an ordinary bed. The flowers are of immense size and depth of
petal, of impressive substance and unimpeachable form; dark scarlet-crimson
with deep veins and mysterious shadows. It usually blooms in clusters of
three or more, but the individual flowers will be still finer if only one in each
cluster is permitted to develop. As is the case with almost all red Roses, some
shade is beneficial, and helps to retard the almost mevitable fading of the
color. The flower is quite fragrant, with long stems, making it fine for cutting.
The quantity of June bloom is remarkable. The young foliage is bronzy
green, healthier than most Hybrid Perpetuals. While this variety has no
natural inclination to bloom again during the summer, it may be induced to
do so by pruning back to three or four eyes from the main stem, imme-
diately after Une June blooms have faded. By repeating the operation the
bush may bloom again in the fall. $1 cach; $9

freedom in June, and always remembers us with a few flowers through summer
and fall. The foliage is distinct, waxy, and wavy, but needs protection from
mildew. George Arends, which is often referred to as the Pink Frau Karl
Druschki, does not resemble it much, but will hold a prominent place in any
proper collection of fine Roses. $1 each.

loved. Strong and vigorous in habit, the bush is not nearly so hardy as it
ought to be, and in severe winters may lose half its growth. It blooms quite
freely m June, but never afterward, and the flowers appear a quite ordinary
red, and hang their heads. But just when you have decided it is a worthless
Rose, there comes a bloom that makes you hold your breath m wonder, that
brings a lump in your throat and tears to your eyes, a bloom of such un-
utterable beauty that trying to describe is almost a profanation; a bloom that
will make you tend the big bush feverishly and try, try, try to get another
masterpiece. You will never give it up! Supreme m one thing only, this
Rose outweighs its other faults. $1 each.

*GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. Still valiantly leading the old guard of the
few remaining Hybrid Perpetuals, good old General “Jack’’ has marched to
victory in many lands. Standard of color for years, his clear red blooms are just
as bright today as seventy years ago. The plant is very hardy, but needs quite
careful attention in thinning and pruning if the best-formed flowers are wanted,
but many people let it grow at will and make a big, brave bush that blazes like a
bonfire with its hundreds of bright red flowers in June. It mildews more than most
other Hybrid Perpetuals unless checked. (See remedy, page 13.) $1 each.

*Gloire de Chedane-Guinoisseau. A Rose of bright vermilion, shaded with
deep velvety red, of large size and of fine cupped rather than globular form. A
very vigorous grower and blooms heavily in June. It is hardy, and valued for its
unusually brilliant color. A comparatively new variety which has many
admirers, but which has suffered from the general obscurity in which this whole
class has been buried during recent years. $1 each.

xFHieinrich Miinch. Soft pink blooms of immense size somewhat resembling
Frau Karl Druschki in shape. The plant is vigorous, and produces a lavish wealth
of bloom in June, which it tries very hard to repeat in the fall. One of the later
Hybrid Perpetuals, and a good one. $1 each.

*HUGH. DICKSON. An eager, hardy Rose, heavily ‘sears of lusty
growth, that tries to outdo them all. It makes a splendid bush or pillar Rose and
can be trained along a fence or pegged down in the bed. In all cases, it hides
itself in splendid scarlet blooms of finest form and has been known to give a few
flowers later in the season. The foliage is very healthy, but it should have the
usual protection against mildew. $1 each.

CLIMBERS FOR TEMPERATE CLIMATES

On this and next page are Climbing Roses which are a delight to own
because they bloom more or less freely during summer and fall. The Climb-
ing Teas and Noisettes are even more tender than Climbing Hybrid Teas and
Climbing Polyanthas, but in the North all of these require most thoughtful

protection.
Climbing Hybrid Teas

*CL. GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. One of the hardiest of the climbing Hybrid Teas.

A counterpart of the favorite bright red Gruss an Teplitz, blooming with great

freedom in June, or earlier, and giving a moderate succession of bloom there-
after. $1 each.

*CL. LADY ASHTOWN. A clirabing
type of one of the most charming Hybrid
Teas. Bright, shining pink of exceedingly
fine form. One of the hardiest, surviving
in the North with proper protection.
Splendid in the South, where it blooms
with great profusion. $1 each.

*CL. SUNBURST. Bright orange-
yellow, of beautiful form. Not dependably
hardy, but one of the finest climbers for
the South. $1 each.

*CL. SOUVENIR OF WOOTTON.
One of the most beautiful. Pure velvety red
flowers, on good climbing plants. Not re-

liably hardy north of Washington. $1 each.

Climbing Polyanthas
and Others
*CL. MLLE. CECILE BRUNNER.

Quite hardy for an everblooming climber,
and with very heavy protection it can be car-
ried through normal winters in the North.
Blooms in clusters of fine, perfectly formed,
fragrant, little Roses, daintily tmted with
pink and cream. $1 each.

*CL. ORLEANS. Quite hardy, and
will endure northern winters with protec-
tion. It blooms profusely in June, m bunches
of red flowers suffused with rose, and some-
what sparingly thereafter. $1 each.

*ZEPHIRINE DROUHIN. (Climbing
Bourbon.) A rare old Rose of beautiful
form, bright silvery pink, and _ very
fragrant. Not a true everbloomer, but one
of the finest and hardiest of the large-
flowered climbers. It has fine foliage, and

Climbing Noisette Roses (For the South)

These varieties revel in the warm sunshine and mild winters of the South,
but are the despair of Rose-growers north of Philadelphia, Indianapolis,
and St. Louis unless grown under glass.

*MARECHAL NIEL. A glowing, golden yellow Rose of the Noisette family,
all of whom, to feel at home, must have conditions like those in the sunny south-
land. With little care, it will cover itself with its large, soft yellow, fragrant blooms.
North of Washington it is too tender to risk outdoors during the winter, unless

taken down from Its support and heavily covered with straw or soil. $1 each.

*FORTUNE’S YELLOW. Large flowers of bronzy yellow borne profusely on
a vigorously climbing gee This Rose is too tender for outdoors in the North,
but is splendid in the South. $1 each.

Climbing Tea Roses
(For the South)

These also ask for careful winter pro-
tection if you expect them to survive,
though not so tender as the Noisettes.

*GLOIRE DE DIJON. A highly
prized old climbing Tea Rose which is
quite hardy for its class and has been
known to thrive unexpectedly quite far
north. Large irregular flowers of buff and
orange yellow, very sweetly perfumed, and
liberally produced. The plant is very
vigorous and of surprising beauty. Fine in
the South, but should be given a sheltered
situation and good protection north of the

Ohio River. $1 each.
*CL. LADY HILLINGDON. Bright

golden yellow flowers of cupped form very
stmilar to the bush Rose of the same name.
Not reliably hardy north of Washington,
but a splendid everblooming climber for

the South. $1 each.
*xCL. MAMAN COCHET. Identical

with the bush variety, bearing mm great
profusion large, carmine-rose blooms with
creamy centers. Surprisingly hardy for a
Tea, and has been known to do well as far
north as central Kansas, but, of course, It
received most careful protection. One of
the most dependable Climbing Teas for
mild climates. $1 each.

Cochet, and fully equal to it in quality of
its lemon-white double blooms, tinted with
pink on the outer petals. $1 each.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES

These are the best Roses to use to introduce Roses where Roses have not
been. Because of their hardiness, their vigor, their adaptability, and their
wonderful beauty when in bloom, they come nearly being “the one best bet”
.in Rose-growing.

The modern hardy climbing Rose ts as different from the climbers our
grandfathers knew as a Rolls-Royce car is from an ox-team. Both the ox-
team and the automobile get there, and the old Prairie Queen and the modern
Dr. W. Van Fleet also both get there, because both are vigorous, hardy, and
adaptable. But the breadth and richness of color, the variation in size and
form of flower, the introduction of many different habits of bloom, the
wonderful adaptability to various uses, that characterize the modern hardy
climbmg Roses, make the above comparison seem not too extravagant.

Now we have varieties the flowers of which are as large and quite as
beautiful as any borne on Hybrid Teas, and im color ranging from deepest
crimson and brightest scarlet all the way to pure white, through intermediate
shades of pink and salmon. To this we add now definite and dependable
yellow flowers, as well as many lovely sorts that are canary or chrome in bud
and open to delightful whiteness.

The hardy climbing Roses are broadly in two major types, the older of
Japanese Multiflora bloom, characterized
mostly by large clusters of relatively small
flowers, while the other, the Wichuraiana
type, though not infrequently showing the
cluster habit, tends mostly to much
larger flowers, running 3 inches across,
and over, and in all grades of doubleness,
from the exquisite single Roses to the
many-petaled forms.

These two broad classes are by no
means firmly established, for there have
been innumerable hybrids between them,
which is why we do not separate them,
but call the class that of hardy climbers.

All the hardy climbers are of vigorous
growth, and some of them are rampant in
their habit, making canes 10 feet or more
each year. They are usually easy to
handle, being quite resistant to Imsects
and diseases. Some of them in certain
seasons are subject to mildew, but that
bother may usually be averted by the use
of “All-In-One” (see page 13) which will
also take care of occasional attacks of
the green plant lice and leaf-eating
insects. Most of the hardy climbers are

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES, continued

not subject to black-spot, but where they are, the same excellent protective
dusting will care for the situation.

Hardy climbing Roses, may be divided broadly into two types, the large-
flowered, such as Dr. W. Van Fleet, and the cluster-flowered type, such as
Dorothy Perkins. In no class of Roses we think is proper pruning more
important than in hardy climbers. Remember, they should be pruned as
soon as possible after they have fmished blooming, usually in July, for mainly
on the growth of new branches made in summer and fall will they bloom the
following spring. (Full instructions for pruning will be sent on request.)

The breadth of opportunities for using hardy climbers has not yet been
developed as it ought to be. Everyone recognizes the way in which they may
be trained to cover a trellis or a porch, or even a house; few know how
beautiful they are trained on stakes, or pipe posts from 4 to 8 feet in height,
in English pillar form. These Roses will make an old stone fence an object
of magical beauty when covered with their burst of bloom, and will soften its
outlines the rest of the year with good branches, good foliage, and, not
infrequently, the scarlet seed-vessels called “hips.” Embankments can be
held and covered with hardy climbers, and the Pennsylvania Railroad, not
far from Philadelphia, as well as the New York, New Haven & Hartford,
north of New York City, have done wonders in economic maintenance
through the use of hardy climbing Roses, which also
excite the admiration of the passing traveler when in
bloom. Allowed to grow at will, or with the slightest ggaa
training on fences, or self supporting, superb oF

’

hedges can be worked out of hardy climbers, _ , oe. SS
and, as well, lovely specimen plants on the ae Sees
Jawn. With just a little traming they can “/“ag

be interspersed in shrubbery, among lilacs,
or spireas, or deutzias, being far more beau-
tiful than any of these when
out of bloom.

In central New York one wise
lover of mankind has planned to
use the hardy climbers to dis-
tinguish a stretch of improved
highway. Many a farm lane
would become a restful place if
these easily handled self-main-
taining growths were given a
chance.

Iows shows the climbers in
classes which ought to make
their choice easy. Order what
you desire and their beauty will

describes this Rose, but does not express the ex-
traordinary quality of display given by its rosy
crimson, sweet-scented flowers in its first burst of
bloom. It is a strong-growing Rose and will do
anywhere that any climbmg Rose will do. With
the pruning out each year of the older canes, the
plant continues permanently and increasingly a
pleasure. The canes of one summer will next season cover themselves with
great masses of lovely flowers. This Rose has just one fault—it will not drop
its dead petals; but simply cut off the faded bloom and then again enjoy
another and another distinctive show of breath-taking beauty. (See illus-

DR.W.VAN FLEET—The Topnotch Hardy Climber

When this extraordinary Rose was turned over to the introducers by
the originator, for whom they
insisted on naming it, Dr. Van
Fleet himself wanted to call
it “Daybreak.” That would
have been a good name for the
Rose that gives us the lovely
pink tints of a June sunrise.

The color is pure, dainty
apple-blossom-pink, and the
buds, with their long in-
dividual stems look much like
Roses from a greenhouse. The
large and lovely informal open
flowers keep the promise of
the buds.

Rampantly vigorous is this
climber, quite able to produce
each year many canes more
than 10 feet Jong and carrying
tough, rich green foliage to
support the abundant showing
of exquisite June flowers,: ut-
terly unlike any other known
hardy climbing Rose.

give it sunshine and open ground
good enough to grow corn.

the plant is attractive for many weeks in consequence. It can be treated as a

flowers particularly, but because it had color to show on the trellis on the north
side of our Rose-garden when other climbers had only foliage. A recurrent
bloomer in the hardy climbing class is so unusual that great attention was shown
this one when we proved for certain that it bloomed more than once in a season.

$1 each.

*LADY GAY. (Illustrated above.) Virtually identical, save in a slight
difference in shade, with Dorothy Perl:ms, and one of the very best of the depend-
able, rampant-growing, cluster-flowered cherry-pink bloomers. $1 each.

*MRS. M. H. WALSH. A Wichuraiana hybrid with exquisite glossy foliage,
and with the strongest possible desire to trail rather than to climb. The flowers
are double, pure snow-white, and freely produced. You should use this Rose
to plant alternately with Wichuraiana (see page 68) to prevent banks from

washing. Its branches grow horizontally so that it does not need to be staked
down. $1 each.

*GARDENIA. Of rampantly vigorous growth, with numerous long canes that
will go anywhere, and which produce in early summer a mass of pleasing small
yellow buds, opening to creamy white. Sometimes called the “Hardy Marechal
Niel.” This Rose is the most dependable of climbers with a yellow tendency.

$1 each.

FOUR HARDY CLIMBERS—4 COLORS—$3.50

The house pictured below shows what can be done with Roses offered on
this page. More than any other type, the climbing Roses in the Wichuraiana
family have the long, wiry, willowy branches that permit you to train them
easily up and over any object. The plants are amazingly vigorous, and the
good foliage can easily be protected against the mildew which sometimes
disfigures it. (See Rose Garden Requisites, page 13.)

*DOROTHY PERKINS. An American-grown Rose of wide distribution and
great merit because of its vigor, dependability, and the beauty of its perfectly
double, clear shell-pink flowers, the petals of which are attractively crinkled.
It is an indispensable Rose. $1 each.

*EXCELSA. Sometimes called “Red Dorothy Perkins,” this Rose is so far
superior to the old Crimson Rambler as to have wholly taken its place in aI wise
practice. Its very double flowers, produced in immense clusters on each stem,
cover a strong and vigorous plant for a longer time than most Roses of its type,
and the flowers fade agreeably rather than otherwise. It is the best of its color
and class and deserved the Hubbard Gold Medal awarded it in 1914 by the
American Rose Society. $1 each.

*WHITE DOROTHY. Just like Dorothy Perkins, save that it is pure white,
wherefore it goes well with that variety and with Excelsa, or just as well by
itself. Its habit is altogether satisfactory, and its growth abundant and easily
amenable to training. $1 each. .

eee FLOWERED HARDY CLIMBING ROSES

Another division of hardy climbing Roses not referred to
on page 60 are those that produce the single-flowered
Roses. In these you'll find that the jewelled heart of a Rose
with its golden aura of stamens gleams like a gem set in a
circle of peta's. Simple indeed they seem but powerfully
impressive when, multiplied by the thousand, they “‘ride on
dress parade” as It were.

Why it should be so, that the single flowered Roses are
so popular is hard to say, unless partly because perhaps,
like the eyes of a portrait, the eyes of the single Roses seem
to follow you round the garden. If they’re not therealready,

Blooms of Evangeline | We can promise you that they soon will win a place in your
affection.

*xEVANGELINE, (See illustration.) Color arrangement difficult to describe,
but daintily effective. The white petals are marked on the tips with delicate
pink, and sometimes upcurve. $1 each.

*HIAWATHA. Immense clusters of single flowers of mens deep crimson,
shading to pure white at the base of the petals. $1 each.

*WICHURAIANA. Particularly useful as a ground-cover on embankments
or elsewhere, as it naturally grows close to the ground and roots where the
branches touch. Its flowers are of medium size, single, white, and borne amid
very beautiful glossy green foliage, in itself attractive the whole season. $1 each.

*MAX GRAF. (See description.on page 49.)

: s (See color illustration on opposite page.) In
*American Pillar. England the National Rose — oe
voted this their most popular Climbing Rose; m America that Is usually the
verdict as fast as American Pillar becomes known. We are naturally proud
to have introduced it, twenty-two years ago, as the product of the late greatest
American Rose hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet._ In early June the tremendously
vigorous canes of this rampantly prosperous Rose plant, already carrying rich
foliage, become covered with single flowers about 2 inches across, in shadings
of carmine and rosy pink to white in the center, where they meet a cluster of
long golden yellow stamens. The delicately
fragrant blooms become lighter in tmt as the
days go by, and as they open successively in-
very large and symmetrical clusters all
over the plant, the effect is wonderful.
Sometimes as many as three thousand
flowers have been noted on one young
bush. American Pillar can be grown as a
pillar Rose, if one is hard-hearted enough
to cut off its beautiful growth, or it will
climb, it will sprawl, it will make a won-
derful bush, or planted 18 inches apart it
will make a glorious hedge. (See illustration.)

No other Rose takes its place in any way.

Antoine Wintzer

THE EVOLUTION OF THE CANNA

‘“‘To have doubled, and more, the size of a flower;

To have trebled the variety of colors;

To have increased the endurance of the bloom;

To have given bronze foliage to flowers that before had
only green;

After nineteen years of faithful, enthusiastic hybridizing is
the record of our Vice-President, Antoine Wintzer,
America’s Canna Wizard.

To have won for these improved flowers leading awards at
the great expositions in America;

To have won for America the majority of the awards
against all competing nations of Europe in a two-year
international competitive test by the Royal Horti-
cultural Society of England;

To have the superiority of C. & J. Cannas recognized and
to have them used by the leading parks of our country;

Is evidence conclusive that C. & J. Improved Lily-Cannas
are superior to all other existing sorts, and that they
have, by merit alone, won the title of ‘‘The Finest
Cannas in the World.”

The above words were published in our Catalog eleven
years ago. In the following year (1915), our Cannas won
the Grand Prize at both San Diego and San Francisco
from the Panama-Pacific Exposition.

Mr. Wintzer to this day has continued to produce larger
and loveliter Cannas.

It is the delightfully cool, soft, and pleasing shades (pages
71 to 75) of Wintzer’s latest productions that have for these
Cannas brought forth a new birth of genuine popularity.

SIX RECENT NOVELTIES

These magnificent, Iarge-flowered, free-blooming Cannas are a source of
wonder and delight to many of our visitors, who have known Cannas only as
large-leaved, small-flowered, uninteresting plants. Now we have the results of
almost thirty years of patient hybridizing by our vice-president, Mr. Antoine
Wintzer, who, more than all other Americans combined, has made the present-
day, up-to-date Cannas the most gorgeous summer-flowering bedding plant
known. Besides changing the foliage, he has produced an array of the loveliest
colorings from pure white to deepest crimson, many shades of pink, yellow,
apricot and intermediate colors. Plant these gorgeous flowers, after danger of
frost is past, and they will bloom magnificently in from five to six weeks and

then continuously until frost.

heads are immense. Color is soft, light
rose and each frilled petal is edged with

Hardy Phlox, Rijnstroom
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PINK

The rows of this beautiful Phlox in our ftelds last summer and autumn were
like great unbroken ribbons of pink. Alongside were planted Europa, W. C.
Egan and Champs Elysees (see page 79) and they made a splendid color combi-
nation. If you have room for twelve or more of these brilliantly colored, delight-
fully fragrant Phlox you should plant them early, for bloom during late summer and
fall, and | if the first shoots are pinched off, more stalks will appear and give you a
greater harvest of bloom. 35 cts. each, 10 for $2. 90, postpaid; 100 for $25 O

NEW PERFECTLY HARDY BOX-BARBERRY
HARDY ANYWHERE IN U.S.A.

This new dwarf Barberry comes to fill a long-felt need for an edging plant that
is dwarf and dense in growth, free from all diseases and insect pests, and absolutely
bardy everywhere in the United States. The foliage is small and dainty—the
young leaves a beautiful emerald-green in the spring, changing to a pleasing soft
green during the summer and rich red in the fall. In many parts of this country
garden-beds had to be bordered annually or not at all, as there was no perfectly
hardy edging plant to use, but now no garden need be incomplete on this account.

Border your rose-beds, also your perennials and annuals, with this neat,
upright, hardy, little shrub. Our illustration shows how neat a garden can be.
It does not injure the plants to trim them at any season and trimming makes
them grow more bushy. A lovely, neat shrub to use around the base of a porch
if a low-growing plant is wanted.

Choice Selected Pansies 2

Sow early in spring for summer and fall bloom. Sow in August for
spring bloom

If possible, sow your Pansy seed in a shallow box, in good soil, about 3 inches
deep, during February or March to enable you to have blooms in May. Have
the soil moist and keep in a light, warm place. Cover with glass about I inch
above the soil to retain the moisture until the seedlings are well started. Trans-
plant into shallow boxes when the plants are strong enough and your Pansies
will be ready to set out when warm weather comes. Seeds sown outdoors in
May will make plants for autumn bloom. The finest Pansies are grown in rich
soil in a sunny border, but partially shaded during the hottest hours of the day.
If the season is very dry, water thoroughly daily.

“AMRS. PIERRE S. du PONT
Wintzer’s BEST CANNA after Thirty Years

ANTOINE WINTZER died on February 4, 1925, but for many, many
years to come his Cannas will be a joy to all who plant them. Through
30 uninterrupted years of honest, devoted effort, with results that are
a credit to him and to the firm he so long represented, Antoine Wintzer
glorified the Canna perhaps more than all other American hybridizers
combined.

Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont was not only his newest pink Canna, but he
looked upon it as his best. Shown in natural colors on other side.
