CLIMBING ROSES 



Most useful on every place on account of their strong, climbing habit. 

 They may be trained on porches and trellis, used on old trees and posts, trained to 

 tall bushes in the shrubberies, and as a covering for old and unsightly outbuildings. 

 Though they bloom but once a year, their handsome glossy foliage renders them 

 attractive at all seasons. (See plate on page 131.) 



PRAIRIE ROSES 

 Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, turning white; blooms in clusters. 



Grevillea, or Seven Sisters. The flowers, of light rose changing to 

 white, are borne in clusters. 



Prairie Queen. Flowers double, red, and in clusters. One of the best 

 climbers and bloomers. 



Rosa setigera. The Prairie Rose. Is the parent of many of our popular 

 climbing varieties and one of the most useful. It is of rapid growth, with 

 foliage large and clean. The single flowers of deep rose are produced in 

 masses through late lune and July. It is unsurpassed for covering steep banks 

 and hillsides. (See plate on page 121.) 



RAMBLERS 



Crimson Rambler. No introduction of recent years has given so much 

 satisfaction and been so largely planted as this grand Rose. It is a perfectly 

 hardy and exceptionally strong grower, frequently making shoots of loto 15 feet 

 in length in a single season. The brilliant crimson flowers are borne in clusters, 

 retain their color well and remain a long time. (See plate on page 121.) 



White Rambler. Thalia. A perfectly hardy, vigorous climber, with 

 white flowers. 



Yellow Rambler. Aglaia. Perfectly hardy, of vigorous growth, bearing 

 trusses of fragrant semi-double flowers. 



EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



The Everblooming or Monthly Roses are the only really constant bloomers we 

 have. They begin to bloom early in the season or almost as soon as planted, and 

 continue all through the summer and autumn months until stopped by the freezing 

 weather. They bloom and flourish luxuriantly in all parts of the country from 

 Canada to Mexico. The flowers are of beautiful form, fullness and delight- 

 ful fragrance, embracing all the lovely shades and colors that Roses ever assume. 

 Should be protected well in the winter with a covering of leaves, evergreen boughs 

 or straw. 



HYBRID TEAS 



Captain Christy. Flesh. Delicate fleshy white, the center richer in color, 

 very large and full ; most useful early and late. (See plate on page 132.) 



Caroline Testout. Rose. Bright satin -rose, with brighter center, large, 

 full and globular ; very free and sweet ; a valuable Rose. 



Cheshunt Hybrid. Cherry-red. Beautiful cherry-red, large and full; 

 very free-flowering, and useful for climbing.
