BALTIMORE BELLE. A vigorous variety, with pale blush buds, opening into white flowers in large clusters. One of the most attract- ive and satisfactorv climbers. CLIMBING ROSES. Baltimore Belle. For description, see under cut. ^Queen of the Prairie. Rosy red flowers. Setigera. See Single Roses. Crimson Kambler. For description, see under cut. Yellow Rambler. A promising new yellow climber. Flowers clear yellow, borne in clusters. A strong, rapid grower. Pink Rambler. Clear, light red flowers. White Rambler. Pure white. The Yellow, Pink, and White Ramblers resem- ble each other in all respects save color. SINGLE ROSES. With the increasing appreciation for single flowers, -the Single Roses are beginning to claim the attention that their merits deserve. They are the native plants from which the gardener's art has produced such won- derful variation, and they are much more vigorous and healthy in growth than the double varieties. 3.0SA RU60SA. A valuable new species from Japan, with thick, shining foliage that is free from insect and mildew attacks. It thrives well on any soil, and in the salt spray near the ocean. Large single flowers borne in clusters during the sum- ROSA RUGOSA, continued. mer, and follow^ed in autumn by large, bright red heps. A most desirable shrub for groups and hedges. See illustration, page 30, Alba. White flowers. Rubra. Deep rose flowers. Madam G. Bruant. A hybrid Rugosa, with large, white semi double flowers. The rich, green foliage and clusters of long-pointed buds are especially beautiful. ROSA Setigera (Prairie Rose). A valuable single pink climber, the parent of Baltimore Belle and Prairie Queen. Fine for planting in shrubberies, natural hedge rows, or to brighten swampy thickets. Flowers later than others, in July. ROSA Nitida. A tall wild Rose, with deep pink flowers. Sweetbrier. An old favorite, with delicate pink blossoms, borne in profusion. The foliage emits a spicy fragrance that perfumes the air in damp weather. The bright fruit makes the bush attrac- tive after the flowers are gone. A good hedge plant. We can supply it in quantity. We are testing the new varieties of this species, known as Lord Penzance Hybrid Sweetbriers. Memorial Rose (Rosa IVichuraiana, Trail- ing Rose). A distinct plant in all respects. It trails thickly along the ground, over rocks or em- bankments, growing 10 to 15 feet in a season, and may be used as a carpet plant under taller shrubs. It makes a good climber when trained up. The foliage is as beautiful as that of the Rugosa, being small, thick and lustrous ; flowers single, creamy white, with golden stamens, and the fragrance of the Tea Rose. Excellent as a cut-flower. Blooms in July, after most others are gone.
