A Choice Trio of 
Hardy Climbers 
If you live North where roses sometimes Winter-kill you will be delighted with these perfectly 
hardy Queen Roses. 
one who has tried them praises 
them and we consider them three 
of the most valuable climbing roses 
we ever introduced. For planting 
along a wire fence, stone wall, 
trellis, etc., they are unsurpassed 
and where planted together the 
three colors harmonize beautifully. 
[Dean Bond, a true lover of 
beautiful roses, wrote us from 
Swarthmore, Pa. last May: ‘ We 
are having a feast of roses these 
days, very beautiful. The RusBy 
QUEEN is just coming into bloom 
and is a sight tosee.’”’ Dean Bond 
‘has this rose growing among some 
300 others. The Queen Roses 
nearly. always attract special 
notice. |] 
MAY QUEEN 
Splendid large double roses of clear 
bright pink and deliciously sweet-scented. 
Literally bushels 
of flowers can be picked from a fully grown 
bush. 
PEARL QUEEN 
Pearl white with blush centre. Almost 
exactly like the beautiful Maimaison; 
RUBY QUEEN 
Much like its sisters but a rich ruby red 
with clear white centre. 
These Prices are specially low.

_ NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE 
_MAY QUEEN _ 
HARDY CLIMBING ROSES ti: NORTH 
Sturdy, vigorous growers that are exceedingly hardy and need no protection except in the most severe 
climate ; also do well in the South. They are splendid to train up the side of a building or porch trellis and will 
make a wire fence beautiful, also archways or summer house. 
Baltimore Belle—A rapid-growing, dark-leaved Prairie 
Rose. Blooms in large clusters of pale blush and white 
flowers, late in the season. 
Camberland Welle—The new climbing moss rose. De- 
scription elsewhere. (See Rose index.) 
*The Farquhar Rose —Bears large clusters of double bright 
pink flowers, delightfully fragrant and exceedingly beauti- 
ful. Grows 10 to 12 feet in a season. 
*Garden’s Glory, or Pink Mad. Plantier—A grand new 
Pillar Rose of our own introduction. Has large double 
flowers of clear rose pink—very fragrant and borne in beau- 
tiful clusters. A strong vigorous grower and_ profuse 
bloomer. 20 cts. each, postpaid. Two-year size, 40 cts. 
Three-year size, 60 cts., express. 
Greville, or Seven Sisters—This is an old-time favorite. 
Flowers in large clusters, that vary in colors from white to 
crimson, quite fragrant, showy and handsome. 
*Psyche—Said to be a cross between Crimson Rambler and 
the beautiful Tea Polyantha Golden Fairy. Has creamy 
yellow flowers tinged with rose, good large blossoms borne 
in pretty clusters and fragrant.

*Helene, the Thornlees Hardy Climber—Soft violet crim- 
son, quite double and borne in immense clusters; hardy and 
good. 
Keystone—A hardy climber, which the introducers claim is 
an enormous bloomer, with perfectly double flowers of pure 
deep lemon yellow. Weare still testing it. 
Noisette Washington—A moderately hardy climber with 
large double flowers of pure white and borne in beautiful 
clusters. 
*Royal Cluster—(Introduced by us in 1898). Is sometimes 
mistaken for the White Rambler, but Royal Cluster blooms 
much more freely in enormous clusters of pure white, all 
over the bush; gives out a rich spicy fragrance, pleasing and 
attractive. Perfectly hardy and a strong grower. 
*Tennessee Belle—A bright rosy pink climber, free bloomer 
and very fragrant. 
Rubin, the New German Rambler—Awarded a certifi- 
cate of merit by the German National Rose Society and 
claimed to be a better rose than Crimson Rambler, with 
foliage that does not mildew. Flowers are borne in loose 
graceful clusters of bright shining crimson.
