FREE-FLOWERING HARDY CLIMBERS 



Aunt Harriet— Dazzling Crimson 



There are no flowers grown that surpass the Hardy Climbing Roses for 

 combined beauty and abundance of bloom. It is truly astonishing how so many 

 perfect flowers can be produced by any one plant, yet some of the large- 

 flowered types, like Climbing American Beauty (page_ 23), 

 Dr. W. Van Fleet (page 27), or Gardenia (page 26), will be simply 

 covered with perfect Roses in June and quantities can be taken for 

 indoor decoration without robbing the bush and spoiling the out- 

 door display. These hardy climbing Roses grow as easily as an 

 ordinary- shrub and can be grown on pillars, porches, fences, etc., 

 with delightful effect. They bloom the second season after planting, 

 so get yours started this year and the branches they make will 

 produce an abundance of bloom the following summer. 



•AUNT HARRIET. (See cut.) New, 191 8. Originated by the famous Rose- 

 hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet, and introduced, 191 8, by the Farm Journal, 

 Philadelphia. In full bloom it is amazingly fine with its masses of dazzling 

 scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. The bright effect is intensified by the 

 pure white centers and brilliant golden anthers which shine out when the flowers are 

 fully open. Awarded Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society. (See prices below.) 



• ALIDA LOVETT. Color is bright shell-pink, with shadings of sulphur-yellow at base 

 of petals. The flowers are similar in size and form to the Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose. 

 (See prices below.) 



• BESS LOVETT. Resembles Climbing American Beauty in shape of bloom and the 

 large foliage is very attractive. Color is clear bright red and the well-formed flowers are 

 freely produced. Beautiful in bud and bloom and one of the most fragrant of the hardy 

 climbers. (See prices below.) 



*CHRISTDfE WRIGHT. A very strong climbing Rose with large, thick, 

 leathery foliage, which is practically proof against mildew or black-spot. 

 The flower is a bright, clear wild-rose pink, 2> l A to 4 inches in diameter, 

 double, borne singly and in clusters. This Rose often blooms in the late 

 summer and has occasional blooms until frost comes. (See prices below.)

 are produced in immense, durable clusters. Foliage is large, leathery, 

 and very fine. (See prices below.)

 prettily recurved petals. Fine for planting with Dr. W. Van Fleet or any 

 of the large-flowered climbers. (See prices below.) No • size. 

 •MAY QUEEN. Double Roses of enchanting, clear, bright pink, which 

 come in such profusion as to almost cover the bush. Good, healthy foliage; 

 the flowers are deliciously sweet and fine for cutting. (See prices below.) 



PHILADELPHIA. Splendid flowers 2]/i inches across and perfectly double. 

 Color pure deep rich crimson, far brighter and more intense than the old 

 Crimson Rambler. Holds its bright, dazzling color a long while, which 

 adds greatly to its value. (See prices below.) No • size. 



•RUBY QUEEN. Produces immense quantities of large, cupped flowers, 

 rich ruby-red in color, with a clear white center. A fine pillar Rose. Useful 

 in landscape work for planting where a quantity of bright bloom is 

 wanted. (See prices below.) 



•THOUSAND BEAUTIES (Tausendschon). Produces thousands of bright 

 blossoms, borne in clusters and quite double. Colors of every imaginable 

 shade, from white to deep pink. Has few thorns and handsome foliage. On 

 account of its almost thornless canes this beautiful Rose is especially 

 desirable for arbors, arches, etc. It is a most attractive Rose when grown 

 on a post or pillar, as shown in our illustration. (See prices below.) 



FROM A NOTED LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT 



June 27, 1Q22. 

 It would not be right for me not to report on the stock you sent me this spring. Without 

 exception it was the best grade and freshest stock I received from any nursery and arrived in 

 the best condition. The Roses were particularly satisfactory-. —Harlan P. Kelsey, Salem, Mass.
