THE NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 



AMERICAN PILLAR— A single flowering 

 variety of great beauty, which appeals 

 to everyone. The flowers are of enor- 

 mous size, three to four inches across, 

 of a lovely shade of apple-blossom 

 pink, with a clear white eye and cluster 

 of yellow stamens. These flowers are 

 borne in immense bunches. They last 

 in perfection a long time, and are 

 followed by brilliant red hips of ber- 

 ries, which are carried late into the 

 winter: and as the plant frequently re- 

 tains its lovely green foliage until the 

 end of November, it forms a beautiful 

 decorative subject throughout the au- 

 tumn months. 20 cents; two-year 

 plants, 50 cents. 



BRAISWICK CHARM— For arches, per- 

 golas, or for screens this variety is 

 undoubtedly foremost. Deep orange- 

 yellow bud shading almost to white on 

 the outer petals as the flower expands. 

 The nearest approach to the perpetual 

 flowering Wichuraiana. 35 cents. 



THRISTINE WRIGHT, or PINK CLIMB- 

 ING AMERICAN BEAUTA'— This is 

 identical with the Red Climbing Ameri- 

 can Beauty; flowers four inches in diam- 

 eter; color bright, clear pink: im- 

 mense. A fine companion for Climb- 

 ing American Beauty. 20 cents ; two- 

 year plants, 50 cents. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BE ALT Y— Same 

 color, size and fragrance as American 

 Beauty, with the addition of the climb- 

 ing habit. Good foliage, and better 

 blooming qualities. One plant of this 

 new Rose will produce twenty times as 

 many flowers in June as the old Ameri- 

 can Beauty, besides blooming occasion- 

 ally during the summer. Blooms three 

 to four inches across ; has proved per- 

 fectly hardy and stands heat and 

 drought as well as any Rose in our 

 collection. 20 cents; two-year plants, 

 50 cents. 



VEILCHENBLAU (The Wonderful New 

 Blue Rose — This is a Rambler, and 

 will thrive anywhere, being perfectly 

 hardy. It first opens a pink color, 

 quickly changing to a decided violet- 

 blue. When the plant is in full bloom 

 it presents a startling effect. 15 cents 

 ea«h; two for 25 cents; two-year plants, 

 40 cents. 



SOURCE DE OR— A mo.st beautiful va- 

 riety. Large for its class. Full flow- 

 ers. Color golden-yellow. A great 

 acquisition, producing large panicles of 

 flowers. A decided beauty. 25 cents; 

 two-year plants, 50 cents. 



SWEET LAVENDER— Bright pale mauve 

 or lavender, with golden stamens. Most 

 distinct. Dense, dark green foliage and 

 many large bunches of flowers. Very 

 vigorous. 25 cents; tw<)-.vear ]>IantK, 

 50 cents. 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EX- 

 CELSA— 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, var- 

 nished Wichuraiana foliage. The de- 

 fects of Crimson Rambler are its un- 

 sightly foliage in unseasonable weather, 

 and its defoliation by insects: the in- 

 fusion 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, nroduced in large trusses of 

 thirty to forty, and almost every eye 

 on a shoot produces large clusters of 

 flowers. The color is intense crimson- 

 maroon, the tips of the petals tinged 

 with scarlet. The finest of all red 

 climbing Roses. 20 cents; two-year 

 plants, 40 cents. 



SHOWER OF GOLD— This variety pro- 

 duces masses of flowers in large clus- 

 ters. The color is a deep golden-yel- 

 low, with orange shadings in the cen- 

 ter. Enormous lateral branches are 

 produced, which are densely clad with 

 glossy green foliage that resists dis- 

 ease. This fills the "long felt want" 

 for a hardy yellow climbing Rose. 25 

 cents; two-year plants, 50 cent«. 



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 12 

 to IS inches long, and are delicately 

 scented. The plant is a strong grower, 

 with large, glossy, bronze-green foliage. 

 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



WICHMOSS. or "BABY MOSS"— This is 

 a wonderful break in 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 fo- 

 liage, while the bud is heavily mossed 

 in bright green and has the peculiar 

 aromatic odor of the moss family. The 

 fiowers are borne in clusters that are 

 a daybreak-pink in color, opening into 

 bloom that is a good semi-double In 

 fullness. A climbing moss is a won- 

 der; hardy. 20 cts. each; 2-year 50 cts. 



GARDENIA (The Hardy Marechal NIel) 



— This grand Rose has proven itself 

 hardy in Virginia and Tennessee. It ' 

 is a deep golden -yellow of the largest 

 size. 50 cts. each; 2-year plants, if 1.00.
