HARDY CLIMBING AND 

 RAMBLER ROSES 



We offer on this and the next page a 

 selection of the best modern 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 alovely shade of pink with a clear 



wMte eye and cluster of j'ellow 



stamens. These flowers are borne in 



immense bunches, and a large plant in full 



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

 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; a strong ^•igorous grower and 



vers- fragrant. SI .00 each; S90.00 per 100. 

 Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, 



of strong climbing habit. The flowers are 



double, from 3^ 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 wild-rose pink. 

 Climbing American Beauty. Its name is somewhat misleading, but 



it is one of the best climbing Roses; a strong, healthy vigorous grower 



frequently m^aking shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, and good sized flov/ers 



for a climbing Rose that blooms so freely: color a rich rose-pink, of 



splendid form and good substance. (See cut.) 



CLrNiBiNG Rose 

 AiLERicAN Pillar 



a grand 



Coralie. A new variety 

 that is quite distinct 

 from all other Ram- 

 blers; a new color, being a pleasing 

 shade of coral-red, flowers profusely 

 in large clusters. 



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. 

 Everj'one is familiar with its large 

 clusters of crimson flowers. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, 



flowering profusely in large clusters; verj- fragrant and lasting 

 Rose in everj- 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. SI .00 each; S90.00 per 100. 



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 

 j-ellows heretofore offered. The color is a beautiful shade of golden 

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

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

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

 larity. SI. 50 each. 



Szcelsa. A distinct variety in form, color and habit; vigorous in growth 

 %nth healthy dark glossy green foliage. The flowers are verj- double, 

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

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

 petals ringed with scarlet.

plants, 75 cts. each; S60.00 per 100; 25 or more supplied at 100 rates.
