CLOTH-DE SOUPERT (Climbing) New. We feel 

 very fortunate in being able to offer this grand, new, hardy, 

 Everblooming Rose this season, as it is undoubtedly one of 

 the most beautiful and satisfactory of all the hardy Ever- 

 blooming CliiubingBoses yet introduced. It issimilartotlie 

 well-known Clotilde Soupert, but the flowers are larger and 

 deeper in color, and the bush is a strong, vigorous climber, 

 which begins to bloom very quickly and continues loaded 

 with lovely buds and flowers all summer and fall until 

 stopped by freezing weather. It is entirely hardy here. It 

 is also free from the attacks of insects, rust and blight. The 

 flowers are borne in clusters and are of large, round, flat 

 form, perfectly full and double and delightfully fragrant. 

 Color beautiful creamy white, finely tinged with amber, 

 deepening at centre to clear bright pink, and sometimes both 

 red and white roses are borne on the same bush. It is 

 impossible to praise this lovely rose too highly ; it is a real 

 treasure to rose-loving people, and everyone who can should 

 plant it. We make the price very low, so that all who wish 

 can have it. Price, 20c. each; 2-year size, 50c.; 3-year, 81.00.
