DAMASK ROSES 



These two old roses should be in every garden. Tkough 

 they bloom but once a year, their fragrance, perfect hardiness 

 and the abundance of flowers they produce make them indis- 

 pensable. 



Cabbage, or Provence. Rosy-pink flowers. 

 White Provence. Pure white, delightfully fragrant. 

 Strong 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



MOSS ROSES 



The beauty of the Moss Rose consists in the delicate mossy 

 covering which surrounds the bud, and gives the opening flower 

 a unique appearance. Moss roses should be pruned sparingly; 

 cut out the old wood and merely cut back the growth of last 

 year.

Four Fine Climbing Hybrid-Tea Roses 



While not as a rule as free-flowering as the bush type of Hybrid-Tea 

 Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of beautiful flowers in 

 June, with a liberal scattering of blooms throughout the 

 season. In pruning this class, cut out all small, thin 

 wood and' cut the strong shoots back to prominent eyes. 

 Climbing Caroline Testout. A climbing form of 



the old favorite satiny-pink. 

 Climbing Belle Siebrecht. Identical with its parent, 



a brilliant imperial- pink color. 

 Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria.. The climb- 

 ing form of this most popular white Rose; very free. 

 Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of all the climb- 

 ing Hybrid- Tea varieties. ■ A plant in the most ex- 

 posed part of our Nursery, with very little protection, 

 has withstood the past six winters with only the long- 

 est branches cut by frost, producing not only an im- 

 mense crop of its very large soft rose-colored flowers 

 in June, but continuing to bloom almost without inter- 

 mission until the end of the season. A Royal Rose 

 that cannot be recommended too highly. 75 cts. each; 

 $7.50 per doz. 

 Price. Any of the above, except where noted, in 

 strong, two-year-old plants, 60 cts. each ; $6.00 per 

 doz. The set of 4 varieties for $2.25.

 except in favored positions, or with protection; especi- 

 ally adapted to covering rafters, etc., in greenhouses, or 

 for omtdoor culture in the South. 

 Qloire de Dijon. An old favorite; flowers blush with 



salmon shadings; a fine climber for a sheltered wall.

this fine Rose is known as the Red Gloire de Dijon.
