• DR. W. VAN FLEET. (L.) Open flowers are 4 inches and over 



in diameter. The color is a remarkable, delicate shade of 

 flesh-pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy flesh in the 

 center. Flowers full and double, delicately perfumed; buds 

 pointed; stems 12 to 18 inches long, fine for cutting. From 

 one plant hundreds of Roses can be cut for your friends 

 for selling, or for indoor decoration. $1 each. 



• EMILY GRAY. A new yellow climbing Rose 



that is truly yellow. The medium-sized flowers 

 are borne in clusters of ten or more. It needs 

 winter protection. $1.50 each, 10 for $12. 



• EXCELSA. (M.) The color is an intense, clear 



carmine-lake. Flowers are perfectly double. 

 Plant with pink and white Dorothy Perkins. 

 $1 each. 



•EVANGELINE. (M.) Flowers are single and 

 white with an enchanting flush of pink on the e 

 of the petals. This is one of the daintiest of 

 hardy climbing Roses. $1 each. 



• GARDENIA. Produces in early June a mass of pleasing long- 



shaped yellow buds opening to creamy white. This Rose is 

 the most dependable of climbers with a yellow tendency. 

 $1 each. 



•HEART OF GOLD. (M.) Single, dark crimson flowers which 

 do not last in hot sunshine. The Rose derives its name from 

 the rich golden anthers that decorate the center of each 

 flower. $1 each. 



• MARY WALLACE. (L.) New. Lovely long buds of a shade 



of warm pink peculiar to itself, and very attractive, great 

 open flowers. The rich green leafage resists bugs and bothers, 

 and is the forerunner of a new type. $1.50 each, 10 for $12.50. 



•PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER. (L.) (See illustration.) 

 Scarlet — definite, actual, and vivid. Nothing so pure and bright 

 in color has ever before been known in a climbing Rose. It is

 pillar or a bush. Winner of the Cory Cup, and also 

 the Gold Medal, National Rose Society. $1 each.

 cate buff, fragrant flowers of medium size and dis- 

 tinctly dainty. $1 each.

 Tausendschon, but its color is uniform bright pink. 

 Thornless and fine for arches and arbors. $1 each. 



•SILVER MOON. (L.) (See illustration, page 14.) The 

 grandest white climbing Rose. Flowers are very 

 large, semi-double, and when open resemble a white 

 clematis with a center of golden anthers. A most 

 vigorous grower with large, dark green, shiny 

 foliage. Si each. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. The most vivid 

 Scarlet Climbing Rose in existence 



• STAR OF PERSIA. (L.) New. A marvelously vivid 

 buttercup-yellow Rose that grows 8 to 10 feet high. 

 The color does not fade. $1.50 each.

 the translation of this German name. The round, 

 cup-shaped, double blossoms, borne in clusters, 

 vary on the plant from white to deep pink at the 

 same time. $1 each. 



•WHITE DOROTHY. (M.) Just like Dorothy Per- 

 kins, save that it is pure white, wherefore it goes 

 well with that variety and with Excelsa. $1 each.

 A rare old Rose of beautiful form, bright silvery 

 pink, and very fragrant. It is thornless. Si each.
