HARDY CLIMBING ROSES, continued 



•AUNT HARRIET. Another 

 Van Fleet hybrid which, when fully 

 estabhshed, is immensely fine, with 

 its masses of dazzling scarlet- 

 crimson flowers that load every 

 branch. These blooms, which are 

 nearly 2 inches in diameter and semi- 

 double, show pure white centers, and 

 the whole effect is most pleasing. 

 A.R.S. Certificate of Merit. $1 each. 



*May Queen. One of the earher 

 Van Fleet hybrids, and showing on a 

 vigorous plant double Roses of clear 

 bright pink, produced in profusion 

 and with pleasing fragrance. $1 each. 



*Ruby Queen. A sister to May 

 Queen, this is much the same in 

 character, save that it is ruby-red in 

 color, with a clear white center, and 

 without fragrance. $1 each. 



*Alberic Barbier. Amid glistening 

 and glossy fohage there come charm- 

 ing, pointed yellow buds, which open 

 to creamy white blooms. Good for 

 chmbing or trailing. $1 each. 



A most distinct climber, which produces over a 

 long early summer season charming saffron 

 buds, opening into small, most attractive, double, apricot and lighter Roses of 

 exquisite magnolia fragrance. The foliage is glossy and disease-resistant, and 

 the habit of the plant ideal for pillar use or a low trellis. It is not a high 

 climber. Can also be used as ground-cover. $1 each. 



•GARDENIA. See description, page 66. 



^Dr Huev ^^ absolutely unique Rose in every respect. The color 



i-l is an intense dark crimson-scarlet, comparing only with 



the Hybrid Tea Rose, Chateau de CIos Vougeot. The flowers are large, semi- 

 double, and so closely spaced on the plant in its June burst of bloom as almost 

 to conceal the excellent foliage. These flowers do not "blue" as they fade, and 

 the plant is attractive for many weeks in consequence. It can be treated as a 

 pillar, but its 10-foot canes will climb anywhere. It is a production of 

 America's most acute amateur hybridizer, Capt. George C. Thomas, Jr., 

 and has been awarded the much-coveted Hubbard Gold Medal. $1 each. 



•PROF. C. S. SARGENT. A piflar Rose, giving delicate buff", fragrant flowers 

 of medium size, and of a distinctly dainty expression. $1 each.

 In regard to the Roses I received from you 

 this spring, they are the finest stock I have ever 

 seen, and I have already had Roses from them. 

 I have never seen anything like them. Out of 

 the no bushes I received from you I only lost 

 3. — J. S., Piqua, Ohio.
