ZH tkQmt Climbing tHose, 



MARY 

 WASHINGTON. 



This is no doubt the most famous 

 Rose of the century, made so by the 

 history with which it is associated, the 

 original Rose-bush being planted by 



no less a personage thin George 

 Washington. It is a lovely Rose, and 

 usually comes in large clusters of the 

 purest white, and very fragrant. It 

 will live out anywhere, as it is per- 

 fectly hardy. A perpetual bloomer- 

 One plaut of Mary Washington will 

 produce more flowers and buds than a. 

 dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance 

 is tinged with that old-fashioned 

 musky flavor so much admired in old- 

 en limes. My ofier here of fine, strong 

 plants will be appreciated by thou- 

 sands in all parts of the country who 

 would like some reminder or souvenir 

 of the historic S'^ot of Mount Vernon. 

 Price, 15 cents each; large two- 

 year-old plants, 50 cents each. 



TOonderful 1Hcw Climbing ffiose, 



EMPRESS 

 OF CHINA 



This is a new Climbing Rose of the 

 greatest excellence. It was brought 

 to this country by a gentleman from 

 Cuba, who says of itthatit commen- 

 ces to bloom in May, and is loaded 

 with its elegant blooms until Decem- 

 ber. Think of it! There is no other 

 Rose like it that will bloom for so 

 long a time. This has been the great 

 objection to Climbing Roses that they 

 bloom once and then they are done. 

 But here I have a Rose that blooms 

 continuously for over seven months of 

 the year. It is simply wonderful. 

 When it first opens the flowers are a 

 beautiful red, but soon turn to a lovely 

 light pink, and it blooms so profusely 

 as to almost hide the plant. It is per- 

 fectly hardy, and is a vigorous grower. 

 Don't fail to try this beautiful Rose, as 

 it will pease you. Price, 15 cents 

 each; large two-year-old plants, 

 60 cents each, or two for $1.00. 



SPECIAL OFFER.— The five Climbing Roses sent for only 50 

 cents. The five Roses in large two-year-old plants, including a 

 fine one-year grafted plant of the Marechal Neil, for only $2.50.
