HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 
THe Farquuar. The finest hardy climbing Rose bloom- 
ing a few days later than the Crimson Rambler and 
continuing long beyond that variety. The flowers are 
bright pink in color; quite double, and produced in 
dense trusses. They are very serviceable for cut flower 
use, much more so than those of any other Rambler, 
and have been most effectively used for table decora- 
tions and corsage sprays. The foliage forms a dense 
mass of glossy, rich, green color, giving an effect like 
English Ivy. It is of remarkably vigorous growth, 
plants grown by us having made canes over twenty feet 
in length in one season. Awarded a Silver-gilt Medal 
by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society when first 
exhibited in 1902, and a First Class Certificate (the 
highest award) by the Royal Dutch Horticultural 
Society at Amsterdam, Holland, in 1904. 
Mr. W.R. Smit, Curator United States Botanic Garden,

EVERGREEN HEDGES. 
Owing to the great destruction of California Privet 
hedges during recent severe winters, there has been 
a demand for hardier Hedge Plants. To meet this 
we have grown a large supply of Norway Spruce 
and American Arbor Vitz. Hedges of these hardy 
evergreens are not only of more cheerful appear- 
ance during winter, but afford greater protection 
as wind-breaks to gardens and grounds they | 
enclose. For sizes and prices see page 135.
