WONDERFUL NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, OR EXCELSA 



(See Front Page of Cover for this Rose in Colors) 



It is a good deal to claim for a Rose, but we are within bounds when we describe Excelsa as a brilliant Crim- 

 son Rambler flower on glossy, varnished Wichuraiana foliage. The defects of Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foli- 

 age 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 Amer- 

 ican 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 in- 

 tense crimson-maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The finest of all Red Climbing Roses. 25 cents; 

 two-year plants, SO cents.

THE "OSTRICH PLUME FERN" Nephrosis Whitmanii 



(See Third Page of Cover for this Fern in Colors) 



A great Fern. In fact it is a plant that appeals to everyone, and on that account will prove a much more valu- 

 able and profitable plant than the Boston Fern, which has had the most phenomenal sale of any decorative plant that 

 has ever been grown, but which cannot be compared to the Ostrich Fern for beauty and general effectiveness. Every- 

 one who has seen it is charmed with it. As someone expressed it, "There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in 

 cultivation. In decorative effect it so far outdistances the original variety that there is positively no comparison to 

 be made. We consider it the most valuable novelty that has been introduced in many, many years." It has taken 

 gold medals wherever shown. Fine young plants, 15 cents; strong plants, 50 cents.
