The New Hardy Climbing Roses - Concluded 



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

 VEILCHENBLAU (The Wonderful New Blue Rose)

 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.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE FERNS 



There are no plants grown that are more desirable for the house than the following fine decorative 

 Ferns. They are easily grown, free from insects and disease, and thrive well in the ordinary temperature 

 of the living room. See that the plants have plenty of drainage and are kept well watered; never let dry 

 out for any length of time. Everyone of these Nephrolepis Ferns is entirely distinct in every way. That 



we are headquarters for Ferns is evi- 

 denced by the choice assortment that 

 we offer. No other firm offers so many 

 distinct and choice varieties. Try us 

 for Ferns. 



New Fern Liberty 



This is our own production. In the 

 past we have sent out Baby's Breath, 

 Teddy Junior and Roosevelt, the three 

 greatest Ferns today, acknowledged 

 so by all plantsmen and flower lovers, 

 and now we add another one to the gal- 

 axy. "Liberty," no doubt the best of 

 them. All the fronds have finely divided 

 pinnae that give them a very beautiful 

 appearance, while the whole plant is 

 overlaid with a bluish cast that makes 

 of it a very striking object. Wonder- 

 fully beautiful, different from all other 

 Ferns. First time offered. Fine young 

 plants, 50c each; strong plants, $1.00 

 each. Be sure and try this beautiful Fern. 



The "Parlor Fern" 



Nephrolepis Whitmanii Compacta 



This is a condensed form of the "Os- 

 trich Plume" Fern, with valuable char- 

 acteristics added which are not evident 

 in the parent, the pinnae subdividing, 

 making miniature fronds ■which are su- 

 perimposed on the main fronds, looking 

 as if two or more were condensed into 

 one. Graceful beyond description. Fine 

 young plants, 35 cents; strong plants, 75 

 cents. 





New Liberty Fern. 



The "Fluffy-Ruffles Fern" 



Nephrolepis Superbissima 



This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its 

 distinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker 

 than any other Fern, its dense growth, much more compact, 

 and its irregular shaped fronds, which give it the name of 

 "Fluffy Ruffles Fern." The fronds are very heavily imbricated, 

 the pinnae overlapping, and so formed as to resemble miniature 

 -ferns, giving it the appearance of a Fern within a Fern. The 

 plant is very sturdy in its habit and the fronds firm and rigid, 

 never break down, so that it will stand more knocking around 

 than any other Fern. Fine young plants, 75 cents.
