hips of berries, which are 



carried late into the winter.

long time in good condition.

called by some the Yellow Thousand Beauties; a 



glorious Rose. 25c each; two-year plants, 60c. 



MISS HELYETT— This is the firs climbing Rose to 

 flower, and one of the most easily grown. When 

 established, it sends out long, thick growths 

 quickly covering the space desired. The foliage 

 is not large, but being dense and intensely green, 

 makes an ideal background for the wonderful 

 profusion of flowers. There is such an uninter- 

 rupted succession that for almost a month this 

 Rose is the glory of the garden. The bud is short 

 and round and very deep pink veined red and 

 opens to a very full rose with reflexed petals of 

 a blush-pink with a suspicion of yellow mingled 



ew Rose, Climbing American Beauty.

 rosy-carmine "with white eye. 25 cents; two-year

 superb Rose are vivid scarlet, shaded with bright 

 crimson. A gold medal Rose of England. A new 

 shade in Climbing Roses. 35 cents; two-year 

 plants, 75 cents. 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA — The de- 

 fects of Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foli- 

 age in unseasonable weather and its defoliation 

 by insects; the infusion of "VCichuraiana blood as- 

 sures an ornamental climber which is nearly 

 evergreen, and this will assure this lovely crim- 

 son-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, ajid 

 almost every eye on a shoot produces large clus- 

 ters of flowers. The color is intense crimson- 

 maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scar- 

 let. The finest of all red Climbing Roses 25 

 cents ; two-year plants, 60 cents.
