Hardy Garden Plants 



A FEW dollars spent now 

 means a life long garden of 

 blooming flowers like Aunt 

 Betsy and grandmother used to 

 have when you and I were chil- 

 dren. It will be like those old 

 time gardens, only better. Bet- 

 ter because the varieties have 

 been greatly increased and won- 

 derfully improved. 



Grown as ours are, right in 

 the open of this rather strenuous 

 Eastern climate, they have in 

 self defence developed a vigor 



that ought to carry them 

 through practically any win- 

 ter. Furthermore, you can 

 count on their blooming this 

 summer. 



But don't limit their use to 

 your garden alone — scatter some 

 along the edges of your shrub- 

 bery borders. They will tie 

 the shrubs to your grounds in a 

 delightful way. Don't delay 

 sending for our catalog and 

 ordering early. You can count 

 on our shipping promptly.

A Rose of Quality 



No Lover of Fine Roses 

 will be without 



The Climbing 

 American Beauty 



The most wonderful rose of its 



class yet introduced. All the 



beauty, color and perfume of the 



old American Beauty, with the 



additional qualities of hardiness, 



vigor and twenty timesthebloomingpower. Grows 



luxuriantly out of doors. Succeeds in bush form 



or can be trained to trellises, arbors, walls or fences. 



Blooms profusely in June — one plant 4 years old 



had over 900 blooms and buds at one time — and blooms 



at intervals throughout the entire growing season. Blossoms 



3 to 4 inches in diameter, borne on single stems. Fine 



foliage that will not burn with the sun; thick dark green, 



glossy leaves, which keep on the bush all summer, giving it a 

 beautiful appearance — quite a contrast to the brown and dead 

 leaves of the Crimson Rambler and other roses 

 of that type. Plant the Climbing American 

 Beauty this Spring. It will bring you pleasure 

 and you will take joy and pride in the beauty 

 and fragrance of the roses. 



Strong One Year Plants $i.00 each, 

 $10.00 per dozen. Sent post or 

 expressage paid upon receipt of 

 price or as soon afterwards as it 

 is safe to ship for spring plant- 

 ing. Colored illustration on request.
