YOU GAN HAVE PLENTY OF ROcES
 NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE SPACE

roses, suitable for the Southern States without protection, are climb ing forms Of such well known garden roses (teas and Hybrid teas) as Bridesmaid, Gruss an Teplitz (by any other name it would be as sweetD Paul Neyron, PerIe des Jardins, Kai- serin Augusta Nictora.
 There is another class of roses par ticularly useful where space is at a premium. These are the Baby Ram hlers" and the Polyanthas. While the flowers are not large they are borne in wonderful profusion and the plants of most varieties are particularly hardy and well able to take care Of themselves.
 They also require less attention iu the way of pruning and fertiIizi-ey than the standard garden roses and do not need protection during the winter. They are among the most continuous blooming roses, being really perpetual towering
 There are three Baby" rambIers The red baby rambler Nile Norbert IevavesseUr which closely resembles the well known Crimson Rambler; the pink baby rambler, also known as Baby Dorothy ard Maman Levavas- seur; and the white baby rambler, Cathreine Zeinet Similar to these miniture roses and so free towering that the entire plant is covered with bloom are Mrs. Wn. H. Cutbush with flowers of delicate pink; Jessie, a bright cherry red; Mile Cecil Brun- her or sweetheart Perle dor and Etoile de Mai CStar Of May, which is the best yellow rose of this type), all of the coppery coLar so popular in Sunburst and similar varieties. Erna TeschendOrf Is a new variety, which although somewhat similar to the red Baby Ram bier, is much darker in color and has much larger flowers, One of the purest whites in this class is Schneewitchen. By many Orleans is thought to be the most showey of the Polyanthas, it Is a deep pink with. pure white center, very robust in growth and the individual flowers are very long lasting; it has been awarded a gold medal. These varie- ties by no means exhaust the list now available of these wonderful miniture roses, and with them one can have almost as complete a range of color with the standard sorts.
 They are also particularly effective for edging, borders, or along waIks or for the planting of small beds in a. solid mass, the plants being set a foot to eighteen inches apart each way. There is still another type of roses which does not require a garden plot to themselves in which to thrive. These are the ''rugosa" varieties, sometimes called the 'iron-clad' ros- es because of their extreme hardness. Their thick. heavy foliage renders them practically immune to injury from insects and they do not suffer from blight or nlildew. There is not such Q, big range of colds in this type, as in the garden roses but the plants are so rugged that they will survive almost anywhere. They are excel lent for hedges; or for planting banks; or against wall or fence or cmbankment, as they make an up- right, symetrical growth, throwing up strong canes from the ground, and they are desirable for planting as single specimens.
 Rugosa alba and R. rubra, the original rugosas, bear big single flow CTS ofs white or rosy crimson. The big red hips" or berries which fol- low are very ornamental. A new va riety, magniica, has brilliant carTnine flowers nearly five inches across, VERY FRAGRANT and BLOOMS CONTINUOUSLY from May to No. vember.
 The Rogosa hybrid, including such varieties as Conrad Meyer, a large double, silvery rose, very fragrant, and it's white form Nova Zembla; New Century, a large full double light pink, and White Century (Sir Thomas Lipton), an ever-bloominS sort; Alice Aldrich bright pink; Ma dam Georges Bruant. pure white; and Roseraie de IIMay.
 Another new rose, quite distinct in i' type from any which we have had in the past, is Hugouis; the yellow flow CTS cover the long sprays, and bloom very early, sometimes before the last late snowi
