A wealth 

 of bloom 



If you want Rose blooms by the thousands — and most 

 people do — we suggest that you plant Hardy Climbing Roses. 

 These vigorous varieties will grow canes from 15 to 25 feet 

 long in a season, on which the blossoms will appear the fol- 

 lowing spring. The large-flowered kinds will give you 

 bushels of flowers on long stems, so that you can cut 

 quantities to sell, to use, or to give away and then scarcely 

 miss them. Plant a Hardy Climbing Rose this fall 

 at each spare fence-post you have and provide for 

 yourself plenty of Roses at very small expense. The 

 large- flowered kinds are marked L.; Multiflora or 

 many-llowered kinds, such as Dorothy Perkins, j\I. 

 PRICES: * 2-yr. Star size, field-grown plants, $1 

 each, 10 for $8, 25 for $17.50. Extra-size plants, $1.25 

 each, 10 for $10, 25 for $22.50. Delivery not prepaid. 



* Climbing American Beauty (L) 



Color rosy crimson, almost identical with its 

 pollen parent, American Beauty, and with the same 

 exquisite fragrance, a quality rarely found in climb- 

 ing Roses. Of strong habit of growth. Flowers 3 to 

 4 inches in diameter, finely formed on long stems, 

 are produced in great profusion and are splendid for 

 cutting. Dozens of Roses can be cut from a single 

 plant without being missed. (See prices above.) 



* Christine Wright (L) 



A very strong climbing Rose with large, thick, 

 leathery foliage, which is practically proof against 

 mildew or black-spot. The Hower is a bright, clear wild-rose 

 pink, 2)H 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 above.) 



* American Pillar (M) see cut 



Introduced by The Conard & Jones Co. 

 Decided, 1918, by a vote of the National Rose Society of 

 England as the "Most Popular Climbing Rose in Existence'* 



Begins blooming here about the middle of June. Single 

 flowers of rich, rosy pink approaching brilliant carmine, 

 just a glint of white in the center and long stamens of 

 beautiful golden yellow. It is, without question, one of the 

 most valuable single climbing Roses in existence and is 

 unsurpassed for planting singly or as a hedge. Later on 

 it is again a brilliant show of color with its pretty clusters 

 of bright red seed-hips. (See prices above.) 



*Dr. W. Van Fleet (L) see cut above 



The flesh-pink climbing Rose. No other climbing Rose 

 has ever created such favorable comment as Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet, for the flowers are so perfect in every way — form, 

 color, delicate fragrance — and borne on such long, strong 

 stems. Cut a bouquet of this variety just before the flowers 

 open, and you will find difficulty in procuring any other 

 Roses to compare with them in sheer loveliness. \A'hen 

 fully established you can expect several canes 10 to 15 feet 

 long every season, and these canes will produce masses of 

 Roses the following June. 



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. (See prices above.)
