Tbc Coi7a.r4 6- Joms Co^ 1 898 



THIS splendid new Climbing Rose is a true 

 Hybrid obtained by crossing the beautiful 

 Tea Rose, Mrs. De Graw, vnth the hardy 

 running Rose, Wichuraiana. It partakes of 

 the nature of both parents, being a vigorous 

 erect growing climber well furnished with 

 handsome foliage, and bearing great numbers 

 of lovely large roses, fully as beautiful as the 

 finest Tea Roses. The blooms are three inches 

 and more across, perfectly double, with raised 

 centre, delightfully sweet scented, and borne 

 in cl asters of five to seven all over the bush. 

 The color is clear coral pink, very bright and 

 handsome. MAY QUEEN is a strong erect 

 growing climber, entirely hardy, an early and 

 abundant bloomer, and particularly recom- 

 mended for alt situations where hardy, free 

 blooming climbing Roses are watited. It is 

 undoubtedly the greatest advance made in 

 hardy climbing roses for many years, and must 

 speedily take its place at the head of the list of 

 this valuable class. 



NEW MAY QUEEN— Price, strong plants 

 from S-in. pots, 60 cts. each, postpaid.
