NOVA ZEMBLA — The pure white Conrad F. Meyer. 



PINK FRAU KARL DRCSCHKI, or GEORGE AHRENDS— This

 as Frau Karl Druschki is as a white Rose. Extra fine; brilliant 

 clear pink. 25 cental; two-year plant?.. 60 cents. 



The New Hardy Climbing Roses 



AMERICA PILLAR — A single flowering variety of great beauty, 

 which appeals to everyone. The flowers are of enormous size, 

 three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of apple-blossom- 

 pink, with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. 

 These flowers are borne in immense bunches, and a large plant 

 in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. They last in per- 

 fection a long time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or 

 berries, whith are carried late into the winter; and as the plant 

 frequently retains its lovely green foliage until the end of 

 November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject throughout 

 the autumn months. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT, or PINK CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAU- 

 TY — This is identical with the Red Climbing American Beauty 

 described next below this variety; flowers four inches in di- 

 ameter; color bright, clear pink; immense. Try it; a fine 

 companion for Climbing American Beauty. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants, 60 cents. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY — Same color, size and fragrance 

 as American Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit. 

 Good foliage, and better blooming qualities. One plant of this 

 new Rose will produce twenty times as many flowers in June 

 as the old American Beauty, besides blooming occasionally 

 during the summer. Blooms three to four inches across; has 

 proved perfectly hardy and stands heat and drought as well as 

 any Rose in our collection. This Rose has already made its 

 mark, and wherever it has been planted it has pleased, until 

 today we sell is by tens of thousands. 20 cents; two-year plants, 

 40 cents. 



GARDENIA (The Hardy Marechal Niel) — This grand Rose has 

 proven itself hardy in Virginia and Tennessee. It is a deep 

 golden-yellow of the largest size. 50 cents each; two-year 

 plants, §1.00. 



Red Dorothy Perkins. 



HIAWATHA — There is no other Rose so brilliant as Hia- 

 watha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its flowers 

 are about one and one-half inches across, and produced 

 in long, pendulous sprays, with frequently from forty to 

 fifty flowers on a spray. In color it is brilliant ruby- 

 carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of golden 

 stamens — a glowing combination of colors, which can be 

 seen at a great distance, and which does not tire the eye 

 eye as do masses of Crimson Rambler. The plant is of 

 strong, vigorous growth, with bright green, glossy foli- 

 age, which is retained until late in fall. 20 cents each; 

 two-year plants, 40 cents. 



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 

 unseasonable weather, and its defoliation by insects; the 

 infusion of Wichuraiana blood assures an ornamental 

 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, pro- 

 duced in large trusses of thirty to forty, and almost ev- 

 ery 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. 

 25 cents; two-year plants, 40 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 Clem- 

 atis-like flower. The large disc of yellow stamens in the 

 center adds decidedly to its attractiveness; delicately 

 scented. 25 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 



SHOWER OF GOLD — Almost the color of "William Allen 

 Richardson," not quite so much orange-yellow; very 

 fine. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES — A climb- 

 ing Rose that comes to us from Germany. The flowers 

 upon first opening are the most delicate shade of pink 

 ever seen in a Rose, might be described as a white deli- 

 cately flushed pink, changing to rosy-carmine. It gets 

 its name from its many flowers and the variation in col- 

 oring; beautiful: will become as famous as Crimson 

 Rambler or Dorothy Perkins. We wrote the above a year 

 ago, and now we can add that this Rose is sweeping the 

 country like a prairie Are. You can word paint all you 

 want to and then you will have left something unsaid. 

 Simply a wonder. 20 cents; two-year plants. 50 cents. 



VE1LCHENBLAU (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 im- 

 memorial. 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 

 centst two-year plants, 40 cents.
