REPEAT-BLOOMING 



CLIMBING ROSES 



More Blooms per Ground Space Than with 

 Any Other Plant 



The long canes of climbing Roses can produce the 

 most amazing mass of bloom, on arches, trellises, garage 

 walls, fences etc. 



Climbing Roses usually bloom the second season after 

 planting. Do not prune the first season's growth of the 

 kinds offered here. Later, prune only enough to keep 

 within bounds and to remove worn-out, dead wood. 



• MERMAID. Immense, single blooms of sulphur- 

 yellow with a glorified center showing a heavy cluster of 

 rich golden anthers. Blooms steadily throughout the 

 season. Foliage glistening, almost evergreen. Needs pro- 

 tection in the North and worth it as it is breathtakingly 

 beautiful. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4. 



•Blaze. $1.50 ea.

 Climbing Mrs. du 

 Pont and Climbing 

 Talisman in shel- 

 tered spots and

 cially New Dawn 

 and Prosperity,

• BLAZE. Plant Pat. 10. Scarlet-crimson. This 

 brilliant red Rose resembles Paul's Scarlet Climber in 

 growth and bloom. The blazing color holds well even in J 

 hot sun, and the gorgeous show continues for weeks in f 

 June. Under favorable conditions it produces inter- 

 mittent flowers later in the season. These later bloom- 

 shoots come from the first eye below the June flower 

 clusters, so cut the faded first blooms above that point to 

 encourage later bloom. The re-bloom is better on well- 

 established plants with heavy canes. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4.

 are like large Hybrid Teas and when they are spent just 

 pinch them off and new flowers will form, but not as 

 profusely as in June. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4.
