NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE 



DOROTHY PERKINS. 



A new Rose of American origin which has been highly praised by 

 all who have tried it. The color is a beautiful, clear shell-pink, and it 

 blooms in clusters. We append the opinion of Mr. W. C. Egan, a well- 

 known rosarian: 



" When a novelty proves exceptionally good I feel like calling the attention of my 

 friends to it. I have grown about all the so-called Ramblers, but none among them 

 can compare with the new climbing Rose, Dorothy Perkins. It flowers in clusters 

 of from ten to thirty, each flower considerably over an inch in diameter, the stem to 

 the cluster being quite long, thus making them available for cutting and interior 

 decoration. The buds are of good length and rival those of that charming fairy 

 Rose, Mme. Cecil Brunner, resembling bisque work in their daintiness. The flowers 

 are fragrant and last a long time in good condition. It is said to have withstood a 

 winter temperature of 20° below zero uninjured." 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each, 84.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, §1.50 per doz. 



Climbing ClotHilde Soupert. 



An invaluable addition to our list of hardy Roses of climbing habit- 

 It has withstood a temperature of twenty degrees below zero. It 

 blooms most profusely on growths made the previous season, producing 

 hundreds of clusters of perfect flowers. The color is French white with 

 a distinct centre of silvery-rose; flowers perfectly double even in the 

 hottest weather. It is the healthiest climbing Rose we know, has never 

 had any disease and should succeed everywhere.

CLIMBING WOOTTON. 



Large deep crimson flowers, richly perfumed. It is a very vigorous 

 grower, almost impervious to mildew, ever-blooming, so that flowers may 



be expected from 

 well-established 

 plants throughout 

 the season. Too 

 much cannot be said 

 in praise of this grand 

 Rose. (See cut.)

 size, perfect in form, after more than a quarter of a century it still remains 

 the ideal climbing Tea Rose. 



Red Marechal Niel. A fitting companion for the yellow and white ,
