C. & J. ROSES IN NATURAL COLORS

* ROSE, “EXCELSA” 
Or RED DOROTHY PERKINS 
This now famous climbing Rose, hardy as an oak, free-flowering 
and delightful in color, has the foremost place among Rose-lovers 
who formerly planted the old Crimson Rambler when a hardy 
red climber was needed. Excelsa has a color all its own, being 
an intense, clear, crimson-maroon in some lights and at other 
times the blooms are deep cerise-pink which we have tried to 
show in our color illustration. The flowers are large for this class 
and produced twenty to thirty on a stem, while almost every eye 
on a shoot makes a cluster of bright blossoms which almost hide 
the foliage, so great is their profusion. Excelsa won the Hubbard 
Memorial Medal for ‘‘the best Rose introduced in the past five 
years’ and no other red hardy climber has surpassed it since its 
introduction. 
Price, I-yr., 25 cts., postpaid; 2-yr., 50 cts.; Star size, 75 cts.;

BLOOM FROM 
JUNE TILL FROST 


SEE THESE IN COLOR ON BACK COVER 
th WINTZER’S COLOSSAL. 5 ft. Colos- 
sal indeed are the flowers and bloom- 
heads of this magnificent Canna and, 
when planted in beds or rows, the 
effect produced by the vivid scarlet 
flowers is very striking. It is the 
largest-flowered Canna yet introduced 
and it retains its brilliant color in the 
hottest sun. Price, roots, 40 cts. each; 
plants, 50 cts. each, or 3 for $1.25, 
after April 1, postpaid. 

FLAG OF TRUCE. 4 ft. A large, 
cream-white Canna with faint pink 
dots on each petal and a sulphur- 
colored tongue. When a short dis- 
tance from the flowers they appear 
pure white. It is distinct from any 
other variety we grow and will make 
a charming addition to your garden. 
Price, strong roots, 60 cts. each; or, 
after April 1, started plants, 70 cts. 
each, postpaid. 

‘nh GOLDEN GATE. 4 ft. The flowers 
open almost pure gold but soon be- 
come richly rayed with orange-crim- 
son and apricot, centering to the 
throat and tongue of deep carmine- 
red. As the flower ages it becomes 
entirely suffused with apricot hues 
like a sunset glow in summer, delight- 
fully effective and greatly admired. 
Price, roots, 35 cts. each; or plants, 
after April 1, 40 cts. each, postpaid.
