Climbing roses should be chosen for hardiness. 

 General management for climbers just the same 

 as other roses. Not many of the hardy climbing 

 roses are everbloomers. Most of them bloom but 

 once in a season. The new Climbing American 

 Beauty is said to be hardy, or at least half-hardy, 

 and a constant bloomer. Climbing Baby Eam- 

 bler is ever blooming, but nearly all of the ever- 

 bloomers among climbers will be killed by severe 

 winters. Among the June bloomers are such as 

 Prairie Queen, Seven Sisters, Tennessee Belle, 

 Baltimore Belle and Crimson Eambler and a few 

 others that are truly hardy. 



The Eugosa class has beautiful foliage, oddly 

 wrinkled and is very ornamental. Some are sin- 

 gle, others double; all very fragrant. These are 

 of iron-clad hardiness. 



The Wichuraiana class will climb if trained; 

 otherwise they trail on the ground. Suitable for 

 training over rocks, stumps and unsightly objects. 

 Nearly Evergreen. They bloom in June and 

 July, and are perfectly hardy. 



Ricinus (Castor Bean). Annual. Height ten 

 to fifteen feet. Grown for its foliage. Used as 

 a center of groups of tall-growing plants. Grown 

 from seeds, which should be started in pots in Feb-
