HARDY CLIMBING ROSES— Continued 



TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES— A Climbing 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 delicately flushed pink changing 

 to rosy-carmine. It gets its name from its many flowers and the variation in 

 coloring; beautiful; will become as famous as Crimson Rambler or Dorothy Per- 

 kins. We wrote the above two years ago, and now we can add that this Rose is 

 sweeping the country like a prairie fire. You can word paint all you want to and 

 then you will have left something unsaid. Simply a wonder. 20 cts.; two-year 

 plants, 60 cts. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY— A seedling from American Beauty with Wichur- 

 aiana and Tea blood in its veins. The introducers say of it: "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 20 

 times as many flowers in June as the old American Beauty, besides blooming occa- 

 sionally 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 it by the tens of thousands. You lose if you are slow 

 to take hold of "Climbing American Beauty." It grows and blooms. 20 cts.; two- 

 year plants, 50 cts. 



WICHMOSS, or "BABY MOSS" (Barbier. 1912.) (C. M.)— This is a wonderful break 

 in new Roses, being a cross between the "Wichuraiana" and "Moss Rose." It has 

 retained the scandent habit of the "Wichuraiana," making long growths five to 

 eight feet in length with the glazed resistant foliage, while the bud is heavily 

 mossed in bright green and has the peculiar aromatic odor of the moss family. 

 The flowers are borne in clusters that are a daybreak-pink color, opening into 

 bloom that is a good semi-double in fullness. A climbing moss is a wonder, and 

 "Wichmoss" is the forerunner of an entirely new family of Roses; hardy. 20 cts.; 

 two-year plants, 50 cts. 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT — A most exquisite new Rose, a cross between Caroline Testout 

 and an unnamed seedling; it is of strong climbing habit, with large, heavy, dark 

 green foliage, which is immune to disease. The flowers are double, from three and 

 one-half to four inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, of perfect form, 

 beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded flower; in color, a most refreshing 

 bright wild-rose pink; it flowers profusely during .June, and continues more or less 

 throughout the season. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts.
