THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



Among the many suitable vines and 

 climbers for growing on an arbor there is 

 hardly any more beautiful than the sturdy 

 varieties of climbing roses. Four years 

 ago the writer planted the following twenty- 

 three varieties on a moderately sheltered 

 pergola near Boston : 



* Baltimore Belle * Pink Roamer 



* Paul Carmine Pillar * Rubin 



* Psyche * Jersey Beauty 



* Setigera * Dawson 



* Farquhar (White Rambler) 



* Wichuraiana (Yellow Rambler) 



* Queen of the Prairies (Universal Favorite) 



* Manda's Triumph (Pink Rambler) 



* South Orange Perfection (Climbing Victor Verdier) 

 Evergreen Gem * Crimson Rambler 

 Gardenia Gem of the Prairies

Those that are starred grew well, those in 

 parentheses died. The rest lived, but do 

 not seem to have done more than barely 

 exist. They have died back almost to the 

 ground each winter, and have had but few 

 scattering blossoms. All were planted in 

 good soil and have had the best of care.
