HAVE SHOWERS OF 



LANCASTER. (Everbloom- 

 ing) Plant Pat. 1892. (You might 

 call the two plants in the picture 

 mine, for I have a proprietary in- 

 terest in them. They stand close to 

 where I now sit writing this. I 

 watched the plants grow and bloom for the very first time. 

 Fve smelted these very blooms — and cut some. I even helped 

 to photograph them. It's also my pleasure now to tell you 

 about them.) 



The big (.5-inch) flowers are a rich, unfading, uniform rose- 

 red — brilliant and appealing — the red of the House of 

 Lancaster in the War of the Roses. Such blooms with 3.5 

 to 40 petals come singly on strong stems for wonderful 

 cutting. Admirably free and continuous in bloom, the 

 bush grows with vigor up to 12 feet in 2 years. Strong, 

 upright canes . . . fine, 

 dark green, disease-re- 

 sistant foliage. The fra- 

 grance is strong and 

 sweet, the old-rose kind 

 which our grandparents 

 talked about. From my 

 observation of Lan- 

 caster, I'd say that it's 

 one of the finest red 

 everblooniing climbers 

 to come along in years — 

 and years. S3 ea.; 3 or 

 more, 82.65 ea.

GOLDEN SHOWERS. (Everblooming) 

 /^^ Plant Pat. 1557. Since it won an AJl- 

 ^^^s America award several years ago. Golden 

 ^^ Showers has really come into its own . . . 

 people have had a chance to use it to decorate 

 their landscapes, to enjoy the large, daffodil- 

 yellow flowers, to accept the admiring comments 

 of friends. Golden Showers, you know, is so 

 strong and vigorous a grower that it literally 

 loads the big bush with blooms, and holds them 

 high. The plant will even stand alone as a shrub. 

 Blooms all season long . . . really a glorious 

 sight all the time. The bright, 5-inch flowers 

 sparkle in the sun — and make even a gloomy day 

 more cheerful. You can imagine how interesting 

 this would be with Lancaster alternately on a 

 fence. S2.50 ea.; 3 or more, 82.20 ea. 



Star Everblooming Climbers give you the showiest 

 sight imaginable at remarkably low cost. For about 

 25c a foot, you can cover a fence or wall or trellis 

 with flowers. Use them to screen out unsightly 

 areas, or to touch up a drab spot with beautiful 

 color. Star Everblooming Climbers are hardy, 

 vigorous, long-lived. Remember — don't prune 

 away first-year canes because Climbers produce 

 flowers mostly on old wood. Prune to keep in 

 bounds or to remove dead wood. We list only the 

 fijiest kinds.
