CLAIR MAT IX 



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 sweethrier: 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. R. 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. S3 ea.; 3 or more, S2.65 ea.

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 

 vigor up to 12 feet in two years. Strong, upright canes; fine, dark 

 green foliage. Disease-resistant, too. Anothei 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 \ears — 

 I'd say that it's one of the best red everblooming climbers to 

 come along in years. I recommend it highly. S3 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 S2.65 ea.
