The foliage is compound and of a pleasing shade of light green, and the bark densely set with short hairs. A fine plant for groups. 35 cents. In treating the Rose as a strictly flower-garden plant useful mainly for cut flowers, much is lost. The Hybrid Perpetual varieties are certainly suited mainly for this purpose, but there is much beauty in the family outside of this class, the benefit of which can be best obtained by the use of the species for ornamental planting. The use of the large and double-flowering hybrid sorts is so general that the highly ornamental character of the single-flowering species is almost entirely lost sight of; whereas, in fact, these combine merits which render them preeminent for planting among groups of shrubs or as groups by themselves, combining, as they do, free flowering effects and great variety of habit of growth and of form and coloring of foliage; while the ornamental fruit of many of the species is a character of no small importance. We give below a list of species, all of which are of easiest culture in any good soil, and adapted for planting among shrubbery in groups or a few as single lawn specimens. We freely recommend their use. borne in great profusion. Fruit orange-scarlet in September. One of the best. 50 cents. R. Carolina. [Swamp Rose.] 7 ft. June to Sept.
