THE NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSES— Concluded. 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA — It is a 

 good deal to claim for a Rose, but we are within 

 bounds when we describe Excelsa as a brilliant 

 Crimson Rambler flower on glossy, varnished 

 Wichuraiana foliage. The defects of Crimson 

 Rambler are its unsightly foliage in unseason- 

 able weather, and its defoliation by insests; the 

 infusion of Wichuraiana blood assures an orna- 

 mental climber which is nearly evergreen, and 

 this will assure this lovely crimson-scarlet pillar 

 Rose a place in every American garden, for it is 

 quite hardy in addition to all its other fine points. 

 The flowers are very double, produced in large 

 trusses of thirty to forty, and almost every eye 

 on a shoot produces large clusters of flowers. 

 The color is intense crimson-maroon, the tips of 

 the petals tinged with scarlet. The finest of all 

 red climbing Roses. 20c; two-year plants, 40c. 



SHOWER OP GOLD — This variety produces masses 

 of flowers in large clusters. The color is a deep 

 golden-yellow, with orange shadings in the cen- 

 ter. Enormous lateral branches are produced, 

 which are densely clad with glossy green foliage 

 that resists disease. This fills the "long felt 

 want" for a hardy yellow climbing Rose. 25 

 cents; two-year plants. 50 cents. 



SILVER MOON — Flowers very large, four and one- 

 half inches and over in diameter. Pure white in 

 color; petals of great substance, beautifully 

 cupped, forming a clematis-like flower. The large 

 bunch of yellow stamens in the center adds to 

 its attractiveness. These flowers are borne on 

 strong stems twelve to eighteen inches long, and 

 are delicately scented. The plant is a strong 

 grower, with large, glossy, bronze-green foliage. 

 25 cents; two-year plants. 50 cents. 



SOURCE DE OR — A most beautiful variety. Large 

 for its class. Full flowers. Color golden-yellow. 



A great acquisition, producing large panicles of 

 flowers. A decided beauty. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants. 50 cents. 



SWEET LAVENDER — Bright pale mauve or laven- 

 der, with golden stamens. Most distinct. Dense, 

 dark green foliage and many large bunches of 

 flowers. Very vigorous. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants, 50 cents. 



TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES — A 



climbing Rose that comes to us from Germany. 

 The flowers upon first opening are the most deli- 

 cate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose, might be 

 described as a white delicately flushed pink, 

 changing to rosy-carmine. It gets its. name from 

 its many flowers and the variation in coloring. 

 This Rose is sweeping the country like a prairie 

 fire. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



VEILCHENBLAU (The Wonderful New Blue Rose) 



■ — This is a Rambler, and will thrive anywhere, 

 being perfectly hardy. It has created a great 

 stir in the Rose world, for the talk of a Blue 

 Rose has been going on since time immemorial. 

 It first opens a pink color, quickly changing to a 

 decided violet-blue. When the plant is in full 

 bloom it presents a startling effect. 15 cents 

 each; two for 25 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 



WICHMOSS, or "CLIMBING MOSS" — This is a won- 

 derful break in Roses, being a cross between the 

 "Wichuraiana" and "Moss Rose." It has retained 

 the scandent habit of the "Wichuraiana," mak- 

 ing long growths five to eight feet in length with 

 the glazed resistant foliage, while the bud is 

 heavily mossed in bright green and has the pecu- 

 liar aromatic odor of the Moss family. The flow- 

 ers are borne in clusters that are a daybreak- 

 pink in color, opening into bloom that is a good 

 semi-double in fullness. A climbing Moss is a 

 wonder; hardy. 35 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. 



Moss Roses 



These are probably a sport of the Cabbage Rose. The origin of the double Moss Rose is left to con- 

 jecture. They have always been favorites, for what can be more elegant than the bud of the Moss Rose 

 and more delicious than its fragrance. Perfectly hardy. 25 cents each; the four for SO cents; two-year 

 plants, 50 cents each, the four for $1.50. 



ELIZABETH ROWE — This is an old favorite, with 

 its large deep pink buds well mossed. A beauty 



HENRI MARTIN — Large, full flower of deep red; 

 well mossed; fragrant. 



MOUSSELINE — Pure white flower, buds heavily and 



beautifully mossed. 

 PRINCESS ADELAIDE — Deep blush-pink, with buds 



that are thoroughly mossed. 



Pernetiana Roses or Austrian Briar 



A new family of Roses; native of the south of Europe. The varieties we offer are new, and were 

 introduced by the great French rosarian, Pernet Ducher, and Wm. Paul & Son, of England. They re- 

 sist the coldest weather and produce flowers in the greatest abundance, with strange colors not to be 

 found in any other section of Roses. 



ARTHUR R. GOODWIN — This is a genuine "Per- 

 netiana," and is perfectly hardy everywhere. The 

 color is coppery orange-red, passing to salmon- 

 pink as the flowers expand. A superb combina- 

 tion of color; flowers medium to large and full. 

 Should prove a most valuable Rose. As this vari- 

 ety grows from cuttings, we offer it on its own 

 roots. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



MADAME EDWARD HERRIOTT— "The Daily Mail 

 Rose." Winner of the gold cup which was offered 

 by the London Daily Mail, for the best new Rose, 

 exhibited at the International Horticultural Ex- 

 hibition, held in London, England, May, 1912 (this 

 was the greatest horticultural exhibition ever 

 held), and to be known as the Daily Mail Rose. 

 In competition with the world's greatest rosarians 

 this much coveted prize was awarded to M. 

 Pernet Ducher for this wonderful novelty. It 

 was again exhibited in London on May 1, 1913, 

 at the exhibition of the National Rose Society of 

 England, where it was awarded the Society's gold 

 medal. M. Pernet Ducher describes its color as 

 follows: "Buds coral-red, shaded with yellow at 

 the base, the open flowers of medium size, semi- 



double, are of a superb coral-red, shaded with 

 yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to a 

 shrimp-red." One of our American correspond- 

 ents, a friend of the introducer, who had the 

 pleasure of testing it in this country, says: "A 

 wonderful Rose. The bud is long, slender and 

 pointed, the color is like sunshine on a copper- 

 red metal." $1.00 each; two-year plants, $2.00 

 each. 



VISCOUNT ENFIELD — Coppery old rose, shaded 

 with yellow. The inner petals are deeply tinted 

 with carmine, while the center ones are some- 

 times striped with yellow. Flowers large, full, 

 elongated; very floriferous. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants, 60 cents. 



WILLOWMERE — Color rich shrimp-pink, shaded 

 yellow in the center, and toning to carmine-pink 

 towards the edges of the petals. Vigorous growth 

 and erect, branching habit. Long, carmined, coral 

 bud carried on long, stout flower stalks. Very 

 large flowers, full, and of elongated cup shape. A 

 superb Rose. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 60 

 cents.
