FREE-FLOWERING HARDY CLIMBERS 



LARGE-FLOWERING TYPES. WICHURAIANA HYBRIDS. (See Prices Below) 



* DR. W. VAN FLEET ^^%:r 



The Flesh-Pink Climbing Rose. The parentage is Souvenir du Pres. 

 Carnot x Rosa Wichuraiana. No other cHmbing Rose has ever created 

 such favorable comment as Dr. W. Van Fleet, for the flowers are so per- 

 fect 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 difiiculty in procuring any other Roses to compare 

 with them in sheer loveliness. When fully established you can expect 

 several canes lo to 15 feet long every season and these canes will pro- 

 duce masses of Roses the following June. 



The splendid hearty growth, beautiful shiny bronze-green foliage, 

 crimson thorns, and perfect hardiness, added to the exquisite blooms, 

 make this the choicest variety in this class. 



Open flowers are 4 inches and over in diameter with high-built center 

 and beautifully undulated and cupped petals. The color is a remarkably 

 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. 



"The Rose with 1,000 Perfect Blooms" 



In igio I bought of you a Dr. Van Fleet Rose. Last year 

 I cut from it by actual count 1,000 perfect Roses. Many 

 also bloomed and d'ed on the vine. Several dozen went by 

 parcel post to \'ermont and were reported to have kept in 

 good condition nearly two weeks. I have not had or seen 

 another Rose grown outdoors with so much of the delicate 

 beauty that is usually produced only in a hothouse. — Miss 

 F. B., Chevj' Chase, Md. June 27, 1918.

I am so delighted with the Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet Rose that I want more like it. — Mrs. 

 H. F. T., Fulton, Ky.

 Everybody that sees it is in love with it. —
