 bination of dark crimson and gold. The darkest 

 colored Rose in the hardy climbing class and a 

 profuse bloomer, • 2-yr., Star size only, $1.50

*EMILYGRAY. (Jfew.) (L.) A charming climb- 

 ing Rose with glossy, undulated, holly-like foli- 

 age which is its most striking characteristic 

 bcng rich green with shades of reddish brown 

 in the young stage, changing with age to 

 glossy dark green. The buds are long and flow- 

 ers of golden yellow are large and semi-double. 

 A valuable acquisition. Needs winter pro- 

 tection north of Washington, D. C. * 2-yr., 

 Star size only, $1.50 each, delivery not prepaid. 



^HIAWATHA. (jM.) Bears large clusters of single 

 flowers of intense deep crimson, with the petals 

 shading to pure white at the base; bright, 

 effective, and useful for planting in masses. 

 Holds its intense bright color for a long time 

 and is very spectacular when in full bloom. 



*JEAN GIRIN (Ward's Favorite). (M.) The 

 flowers are similar in form and color to the pink 

 Dorothy Perkins. The chief merit of this Rose 

 is that after giving a mass of bloom in June, 

 like the other climbers, it blooms again. This 

 Rose was a favorite of the late Admiral Aaron 

 Ward, a noted rosarian, because of its habit of 

 blooming a second time, which is most unusual 



Paul's Scarlet Climber produces vivid scarlet, firm 

 flowers which keep well when cut 



in Roses of the hardy climbing class, 

 the old June blooms to help the plant produce more flowers during the summer and fall. 



Cut off all 



Almost Thornless. Suitable for Arbors 



* Paul's Scarlet Climber (L) 



For brilliancy of color this Rose outclasses every other 

 climbing variety in the red shades. The color is gleaming, 

 vivid scarlet which does not fade but remains bright until the 

 flowers fall. Blooms medium in size and perfect in bud form; 

 come in clusters of from three to fifteen or more. 



When matched for color with Gruss an Teplitz and other 

 strikingly brilliant red bush Roses, it surpassed them all. 

 Although not offered as a fall bloomer, it will sometimes bloom 

 a second time, for we had lots of flowers on the 2-year plants 

 in the field last fall, and one bush, about five years old, grown 

 on a fence, had a second crop of perfect flowers in October. 



Awarded gold medals by the National Rose Society of 

 England and the famous Bagatelle Gardens in Paris. 

 ■^SILVER MOON. (L.) The grandest white climbing Rose. 

 Flowers are very large, semi-double, and when open re- 

 semble a white clematis with a center of golden anthers. 

 A most vigorous grower with large, dark green, shiny 

 foliage. Quite different from all other climbing Roses. 

 For your archway try Silver Moon for one side and 

 American Pillar for the other, two of the most spectacular 

 and similar in habit of growth. They will make sturdy 

 canes from 20 to 25 feet long in a season, which will be 

 covered with masses of bloom the following June. 

 ^THOUSAND BEAUTIES (Tausendschon). (M.) Pro- 

 duces 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. 

 All hardy climbers bloom the second season after planting
