HARDY CLIMBING ROSES-NEWER VARIETIES 



These Roses are suitable for planting where they can climb on walls, fences, galleries, 

 porches, pillars, pergolas, arches, etc.; in fact, wherever a hardy climber is 

 required. This list includes Ramblers, Climbing Polyanthas, 

 Wichuraianas, etc. 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA (W).— 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, produced in large trusses of thirty to 

 forty, and almost every eye on a shoot produces clusters of flowers. The color is 

 intense crimson-maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The finest of 

 all Crimson Ramblers. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 40 cts. 



ROBY' — Inside of the petals deep carmine, outside rosy-carmine on orange ground. 

 Very free in clusters of thirty to fifty flowers. Very hardy and vigorous. 25 cts.; 

 two-year plants, 50 cts. 



SHOWER OF GOLD (Paul & Son, 1910.) ("W.)— This variety produces masess of 

 flowers in large clusters. The color is a deep golden-yellow, with orange shadings 

 in the center. Enormous lateral branches are produced, which are densely clad 

 with glossy green foliage that resists disease. This fllls the "long felt want" for a 

 "Yellow Rambler." 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 



SILVER MOON (Henderson, 1910.) (W.) — Flowers very large, four and one-hali 

 inches and over in diameter. Pure white in color, petals of great substance, beau- 

 tifully 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 cts.; two-year plants, 60 cts, 



SOURCE DE OR (Turbat & Co., 1913.) (W.)— A most beautiful variety. Large for 

 its class. Full flowers. Color golden-yellow. A great acquisition, producing larg« 

 panicles of flowers. A decided beauty. 25 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 



SWEET LAVENDER (Paul & Son, 1912.) (Mtf.)— Bright pale mauve or lavender, 

 with golden stamens. Most distinct. Dense dark green foliage and many large
