HARDY CLIMBING AND 

 RAMBLER ROSES 



We offer on this and the next page a 

 selection of the best modem Hardy 

 Climbing and Rambler Roses. 

 American Pillar. A single flowering 



variety of great beauty. The flowers 



are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, 



of a lovely shade of pink with a clear 



white eye and cluster of yellow 



stamens. These flowers are borne in 



immense bunches, and a large plant in full 



bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. (See cut.) 

 Aviateur Bleriot. A strong grower with beau- 

 tiful glossy, insect and disease-proof foliage 



bearing large clusters of medium sized double 



flow-ers of a light saffron-yeUow deepening 



towards the centre. 

 Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American 



Beauty in shape of flower, but is brighter in 



color, a clear bright red, of good size and of 



double full-cupped form lasting a long time in good condition; 



grower and very fragrant. 

 Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, of strong climbing habit. The flow- 

 ers are double, from 3j to 4 inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, of 



perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded flower; color a most 



refreshing bright ^"ild-rose pink. 



Climbing American 

 Beauty. Its name is 

 somewhat mislead- 

 ing, but it is one of 

 the best climbing 

 Roses; a strong, 

 healthy vigorous grower, frequently 

 making shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, 

 and good sized flowers for a climbing 

 Rose that blooms so freely; color a 

 rich rose-pink, of splendid form and 

 good substance. (See cut.) 



Crimson Rambler. This was the first 

 of the Rambler Roses, and was intro 

 duced from Japan in 1894. It is too 

 well known to require description. 

 Everyone is familiar with its large clusters of crimson flowers. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-piiLk, flowering profusely in large clusters 

 very fragrant and lasting; a grand Rose in every way, and one of the 

 most popular varieties. 



Dr. Robert Huey. Similar in habit of growth and form of flower to 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, but of an intense dark crimson color, and when 

 fully expanded shows its numerous golden stamens, making a beautiful 

 color combination. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on account of its dainty color and 

 exquisitely shaped buds and flowers, has become a great favorite. The 

 long pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink on stems 12 to 18 inches long; 

 splendid for cutting. 



Emily Gray. A new yellow Rambler and a decided improvement on all 

 yellows heretofore offered. The color is a beautiful shade of golden 

 yellow, the flowers nearly double, are carried on good stems; the 

 foliage is also very attractive, a dark, glossy green. The plant is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, and we are certain is destined for great popu- 

 larity. §1.50 each. 



Excelsa. A distinct variety in form, color and habit; \'igorous in growth 

 with healthy dark glossy green foliage. The flowers are verj' double,, 

 produced in large trusses, and almost every eye on a shoot produces 

 clusters of flowers. The color is intense crimson maroon, the tips of the 

 petals tinged with scarlet. 



Hiawatha. A brilliant, ruby carmine, with a clear white eye and a 

 mass of golden stamens— a glo%ring combination of colors.
