HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 



( Coiiiiiiued). 

 Hiawatha. There is no 

 other climbing Rose so 

 brilliant as Hiawatha. It 

 must be seen to be appre- 

 ciated. Its flowers are 

 about ]J inches across, 

 and produced in long, 

 pendulous sprays, with fre- 

 quently from 40 to 50 

 flowers on a spiay. In 

 color it is brilliant, ruby- 

 carmine, with a clear white es : nd a mass 

 of golden stamens — a glowing combination of 

 colors, which can be seefl at a great distance. 

 The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, with 

 bright green, glossy foliage, which is retained 

 until late in fall. ( See cut) 

 Lady Gay. A most desirable variety of re- 

 markable, vigorous growth, with flowers of a delicate cerise- 

 pink, passing to soft-tinted pink. The effect of a plant in 

 full bloom with the combination o*" the soft pink flowers, 

 cherry-pink buds, and the deep green of the foliage is indeed charming 

 Paul's Carmine Pillar. The earliest of the climbing Ro.es to come into 

 flower, it coming into bloom two weeks before any other variety; the flowers 

 are large and very showy, single and of perfect form, of a rich rosy-carmine 

 with white eye. Strong two-year old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 

 Silver Moon. Flowers very large, four and a half inches and over in diam- 

 eter, pure white in color, petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, forming 

 a Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yellow stamens in the centre adds 

 to its attractiveness. These flowers are borne on strong stems 12 to 18 inches 

 long, and are delicately scented. The plant is a strong grower, with large 

 glossy bronze-green foliage. Strong two-year old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.5o'per doz 

 Tausendschon. Entirely distinct, not only in Ramblers, but in climbing Roses generally 

 The individual flowers are very large for this type of Rose, being fully 3 inches across 

 ana of a most elegant and graceful form, not stiff or unnatural, but as beautiful as a semi 

 double Azalea. In color it is a most delightful shade of soft pink when first opening 

 changmg to carmine on the reverse of petals when fully expanded. These are produced in trusses 

 of from 10 to lo flowers, each truss a veritable bouquet. 

 White Dorothy. Among Rambler Roses none has justly gained greater popularity than the beautiful 



p.nk Dorothy Perkms. The White Dorothy is a duplicate except in color 

 Price. Any of the Hardy Climbing Roses offered on this and preceding page, except where noted
