Universal Favorite. FOR USE IN CEMETERIES. It is difficult to conceive anything more appropriate, beautiful and enduring for covering graves and plots in cemeteries than the HARDY MEMORIAL ROSE. It creeps along the ground almost as closely as an Ivy. growing ten feet in one season and forming a dense mat of very dark green, lustrous foliage. THE FLOWERS are produced in lavish profusion, in clust- ers, on the ends of the short side branches, after the June roses are past, from the first week in Julv through- out the month, and sparingly for the rest of the season. They are single, pure white, with a golden vellow disc, five to six inches in circumference, and have the strong fragrance of the Banksia Roses. The contrast between the satinv white of the petals and the crolden yellow dip- is sharp and pleasing, and is one of the distinctive Memorial Hose. charms of the Hardy Memorial Rose, and they fairly cover the entire plant when in bloom, a mass of great snowflakes with the rich, dark green showing here and there. BUT ITS USE IS NOT CONFIXED TO CEMETERIES. Planted in the rose garden, alone or among other roses, and trained upright to a stake, it may be had from three to six feet high, as desired, and it will send sprays of flowers drooping downward, making the prettiest sight imaginable. It quickly adapts itself to all conditions of growth, whether barren soil, rocky ledge, fertile garden, shady nook or sun-kissed slope, and no more fitting place' can be found for it than running through the grass. 10 cents each; 15 for $1.00. ALL ROSE* GROWN OS THEIR OWN ROOTS.
