^ SPECIAL-PURPOSE VARIETIES 49 



Archways, Arbors, Summer-Houses, Pergolas, and 

 for Beautifying Boundaries, Fences, Etc. 



Certain roses lend themselves admirably to being trained 

 over objects on which they can have support. The best kinds 

 for such a purpose, we think, are: 



*Dr. W. Van Fleet. *Christine Wright. 



*SiIver iMoon. Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins). 



Dorothy Perkins. Pink. Tausendschon. Blush. 



American Pillar. Single; pink. Gardenia. Yellow. 



* These have heavier and stiffer canes; those not so marked are more pliable and 

 willowy. 



Quite as pretty an effect may be had with certain other kinds 

 by allowing them to grow over a fence, as shown on page 132. 

 Their willowy, vine-like branches are very graceful. The foliage 

 is shiny and almost evergreen, giving these the advantage over 

 the Ramblers of being attractive even when not in bloom and 

 almost the entire year. 



Alberic Barbier. Gardenia. 



Alida Lovett. Hiawatha. 



Aviateur Bleriot. Prof. C. S. Sargent. 



Bess Lovett. Ruby Queen. 



Coronation. Universal Favorite. Pink. 



Dorothy Perkins. Pink. White Dorothy. White. 



Evangeline. Wichmoss. 



Excelsa. Wichuraiana, Single. \\'hite. 



The above-mentioned roses flower during one period of the 

 year only, but are hardier for cold climates than the following, 

 which, if well cared for and properly nourished, will continue 

 to produce some bloom during summer and autumn: 



Climbing Clotilde Soupert. Blush. Climbing Maman Cochet. Pink. 



Chmbing Gruss an Teplitz. Red. Climbing Orleans. Red. 



Climbing Killarney. Pink. Climbing Sunburst. Yellow. 



Climbing Ladv Ashtown. Pink. Clipbing White Killarney. 



Climbing iMIIe. Cecile Brunner. Reine Marie Henriette. Red. 



Pink. Shower of Gold. Yellow; shiny 

 Climbing Mme. Caroline Testout. foliage. 



Pink. 



Bare spaces, whether they be about the house, garden or 

 garage, seem to cry out to those who pass: "This place isn't a 

 home till it's planted."
