THE GREATEST 



NOVELTY 



OF THE SEASON. 

 Climbing " La France," 



It is doubtful if, since the introduction of " Gen. Jacqueminot" and " La France," there has been offered 

 such a sterling novelty in roses as the Climbing La Fiance. The two varieties mentioned are conceded to De 

 without peers in their' class, but the Climbing La France towers so far above all climbing Roses for tiie open 

 ground that comparison is out of the question. Hitherto the hardy climbing Roses have been almost tomny 

 devoid of perfume, and none of them have that form and substance deemed requisite in a high-class Kose w m 

 the advent of Climbing La France, these objections vanish, for it excells even its parent (La France) m size 

 and quality of flower, it retains the charming peach-pink color and the exquisite fragrance whieii nave maue 

 " La France " the favorite it is. This peerless acquisition had its origin as a " sport */ from ^ a f ra ° ce , dn . a 

 and has been under trial at our grounds for the past four years, so that its character is undoubteaiynxea as 

 an evidence of its robust habit we cite the fact that small plants set out June 15th, 1892, had atta '^d a growtft 

 of fifteen feet by October 15th, a growth unsurpassed by any climbing Rose on our g rounds o ,„ *^"^,™f 

 La, France is equally as hardy as its parent and so may be safely planted in the open 8 round . e jen in our northern 

 atitudes. We feel a pardonable pride in being able to offer in this our Columbian year an American Rose which 

 is worthy of a place in every American Garden, 



Price, plants from 3 inch pots, $8.50 per doz.
