Gorgeous New Climbing Rose 



Paul's Scarlet Climber 



This is without question the most important addition to our list 



of Climbing Roses in many years; no other Rose in any class can 



compare with it for brilliancy of color, which is a vivid scarlet 



.that is maintained without burning or bleaching until the petals 



fall. The flowers are of medium size, semi-double, very freely 



produced in clusters of from three to twenty flowers each on much 



branched canes, the plants being literally covered with flowers 



from top to bottom. It is of strong climbing habit and perfectly 



hardy. It was awarded a Gold Medal by the National Rose 



Society and an award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society 



of England, and was also awarded during the summer of 1918 



the much coveted Gold Medal at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris. 



We have distributed many thousands of Paul's Scarlet Climber and have yet 



to hear from anyone who has been dissatisfied with it. The price last spring 



was $2.00 each, but we have prepared an immense stock of it for this season's 



sale which enables us to offer extra heavy two-year -old plants at $1.00 each; 



.00 per 100; twenty-five or more being supplied at hundred rates. 



NE^W RUGOSA HYBRID ROSE 



F. J. Qrootendorst (Grootendorst, 1919) 

 This is a new type of Rose which might properly be called a Rugosa Baby 

 Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the crimson Baby Rambler. 

 Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered with trusses of crimson Baby Ram- 

 bler Roses and you will have a fair conception of this new hybrid variety. It 

 is not a Rose that you want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen or in a mass 

 in a bed in an exposed position or among shrubs in the shrubbery border or use 

 it for an everblooming hedge for which purpose it is admirably adapted. It is 

 absolutely hardy and continues in bloom until late in the fall. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $75.00 per 100.

NEIJV IRISH HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



We are pleased to be al)le to offer these new Irish introductions, 

 both of which we have tried out the past season and fully indorse 

 the originator's descriptions given below. 



J. Q. QIassford (Hugh Dickson, 1921). Very vigorous, free 

 branching growth, large dark green foliage. Flowers of the 

 largest size; buds long and pointed, opening to flowers of great 

 substance, with high-pointed centre. The petals are very large 

 and of fine texture, nicely reflexed at the edges. Color clear 

 deep crimson-lake without shading — a clear solid color which does 

 not fade and which is quite unique in Roses. One of the finest 

 Roses we have ever raised. Strong two-year-old plants, $2.50 ea h. 



Una Wallace (McGredy, 1921). This Rose created quite a sensa- 

 tion at the National Rose Society's Autumn Show. The color is 

 what we would call an art color, quite distinct from any other Rose, 

 and for effective decorative work it has no equal. It is a beautiful 

 soft even toned cherry-rose without shading. In depth, formation 

 and substance it is faultless, every bloom coming perfect, and quite 

 full. Its foliage is bold, handsome, quite in keeping with such a 

 charming flower. It is one of the freest growers among Hybrid- 

 Teas and once seen will be wanted by every lover of Roses. Sweetly 

 perfumed. Price, $2.50 each. 



New Trailing or Climbing Rose 



Max Graf (Bowditch, 1919) 

 Presumed to be a cross between Rosa Rugosa and Setigera, with 

 large attractive single bright pink flowers not unlike the pink form of 

 Rugosa, but with the petals more crimped which adds to its attractive- 

 ness. It makes an excellent climber or pillar rose, but it appeals to us 

 more particularly as a ground cover, for which purpose it is superior 

 to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The glossy foliage, resembling 

 Rosa Rugosa is retained very late in the season and is practically im- 

 mune to mildew, black spot and insects, and is perfectly hardy. For 

 planting on a steep bank or for trailing over a stone wall it has no equal. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $75.00 per 100.
