disease-proof fl eWt Hardy Climbing Roses 



The great drawback to hardy climbing roses has always been 

 their susceptibility to disease, particularly that scourge known 

 as white mildew. That tendency has been eliminated in the 

 sorts raised by crosses on Rosa Wichuraiana. This has been 

 known and appreciated by close observers but has not been 

 fully appreciated by the majority of growers, hence our em- 

 phasizing it now. We offer below a choice collection. They 

 all make splendid pot plants for Easter blooming. 



<*■&£ THE "GARNET CLIMBER " &&& 



A grand, new hardy climbing Rose, a cross between a dark 

 red variety and Wichuraiana. The great fault with Crimson 

 Rambler, viz. : its susceptibility to mildew and red spider is 

 entirely absent in this beautiful variety. The flowers are pro- 

 duced in clusters, a rich garnet crimson, delightfully fragrant, a 

 quality said to be the soul of a flower and lacking in the Crimson 

 Rambler. The foliage is luxuriant, a deep green with a highly 

 polished surface. Those who have failed with Crimson Rambler 

 may plant this with safety, those who have succeeded with it 

 may plant it as it is distinct from it, eventually we believe it 

 will be planted exclusively for red climbing roses. Price, plants 

 from 5-inch pots, $4.00 per doz., $30.00 per 100; 3-inch pots, 

 $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 



OTHER DISEASE-PROOF NEW VARIETIES- 



LA FIAMMA. Intense flaming scarlet with a silvery white 

 " aureole " in the center. The flowers are single, about two 

 ind one half inches across, borne in clusters on long stems 

 and fairly cover the plant. 



PARADISE. A combination of pink and white. The edges of 

 the petals are imbricated giving a very artistic effect. 



DELIGHT. Just what its name suggests. The color is bright 

 carmine, white at the base of the petals, the center of each 

 flower filled with golden yellow anthers. 



EVANGELINE. The flowers are single, 2 inches across. The 

 coloring is exquisitely dainty, the center being white half way 

 up the petals, merging into a beautiful, clear, but soft shade of 

 pink. 



HIAWATHA. The color is glowing ruby-crimson, the center 

 being clear white and filled with rich golden yellow anthers, a 

 striking and beautiful combination. 



WEDDING BELLS. The flowers of this variety are double. 

 The color is white, the upper half of the petals a soft pink so 

 that the general color effect is a dainty china pink. 



Price for the above, plants from 3-inch pots, $1.25 per doz., 

 $10.00 per 100.
