CLAIR MATIN 
Everblooming (Meilland) Plant Pat. 2186. Here it is! The 
newest pink climbing rose! And without question, one of the 
finest! It provides a massive abundance of flowers in clusters— 
each rose a 3-inch, semi-double, pink jewel—dozens of them 
to the stem. They have the delightful scent of sweetbrier; and 
since the 10 to 12-foot canes carry the blooms high and wide, the 
air around the splendid plant is perfumed. The plant itself is so 
strong that if left unsupported by fence, pole or trellis, the rugged 
canes will arch upwards and stand alone. Extra hardy and extra 
vigorous, Clair Matin blooms continuously, has flowers even in 
the first year, and is beautifully foliaged, densely foliaged. The 
man in the picture is Vice-President S. B. Hutton, Jr. He is 
serving as a sort of double yardstick (he’s 6 feet tall) to show the 
height of the plant and as a natural foil to set off the sheer beauty 
of the Clair Matin flowers. $3 ea.; 3 or more, $2.65 ea. 
LANCASTER 
Everblooming. Plant Pat. 1892. Introduced last year, this fine 
new climbing red rose is a real beauty with many good qualities. 
Its big, 5-inch flowers are a rich, unfading, uniform red—a rose- 
red that’s brilliant and appealing. It’s the red of the House of 
Lancaster in the War of the Roses. Such blooms with 35 to 40 
petals come singly on strong stems for wonderful cutting. Ad- 
: mirably free and continuous in bloom, the bush grows with 
© CLAIR MATIN vigor up to 12 feet in two years. Strong, upright canes; fine, dark 
green foliage. Disease-resistant, too. Another asset is fragrance, 
which is strong and sweet—the old-rose kind. From my observa- 
tion of Lancaster—and I’ve watched it closely for several years— 
I’d say that it’s one of the best red everblooming climbers to 
come along in years. I recommend it highly. $3 ea.; 3 or more, 
$2.65 ea.
