For Archways, Arbors and Pergolas 
Even a single archway of Roses over 
ja pathway entrance, makes an ideal 
] addition to the lawn. Have you a 
place for one? They are easily made. 
These two things are important : 
1st. Get suitable varieties, (we re- 
commend those on these two pages. ) 
2nd. Providea substantial support 
forthem. Any handy man can do 
this ; plant wooden uprights with an 
arch across the top (see illustration ) ; 
cedar lasts longest. 
Rustic work is 
most appropriate. If you prefer an 
archway that will be still more perma- 
nent, use iron pipe, or % inch iron 
rods, and bend them to the proper 
shape. Set two of them 8 or 10 inches 
apart and stretch chicken wire between 
them, they will be inconspicuous if 
painted green, and the third season 
should be completely covered with 
roses, and continue in beauty for years 
to come; and the cost complete need 
be only a dollar or two. 
If youprefer ready made wire arches, 
write us for prices. 
4 Hardy Climbers 
‘SUITABLE FOR COVERING 
ARCHWAYS, ETC. 
These 4 are enough for a small size arbor. 
Why not have one ? 
me New Rambler Rose, 
x “Lady Gay”. 
The introducers say “‘this Rose is far superior to 
crimson Rambler’? of which it is a seedling 
and which it closely resembles in habit of bloom 
and vigor of growth. The flowers (in large 
loose clusters) are of a delicate cherry pink color, 
fading to soft tinted white. The effect of a plant 
in full bloom with the combination of soft white 
flowers, cherry pink buds and deep green of the 
foliage is indeed charming. It is perfectly hardy 
and unsurpassed for climbing work. 25c. each, 
postpaid. Two-year bushes 50c. by express. 
Queen Alexandra—This splendid new rose originated in 
England and was named for their Queen. It is a hardy 
vigorous climber, somewhat resembling Crimson Rambler 
in habit of growth, but the clusters are more open and grace- 
ful and the color an exquisite shade of bright clear rose. 
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful roses of itsclass, and 
suitable for the choicest places. Strong plants, 20 cts.; 
larger size, 25cts. each, postpaid. 2-year bushes, 40 cts.; 
3-year extra large, 75 cts. each, by express. 
Hardy Marechal Niel (Gardenia)—The finest hardy 
yellow climbing Rose yet produced, and most suitable ot 
this color for arbor work. See full description and prices 
page 40. 
Wichuraiana—The Hardy white Memorial Rose, with very 
large single flowers; some people like this type better than 
any other for covering trellises, arches, etc. See full de- 
scription and prices page 40.
