“HARDY CLIMBING 
A 
RAMBLER 
ND 
ROSES 
( Continued.) 
Dorothy Perkins. Soft 
shell-pink, flowering pro- 
fusely in large clusters; 
very fragrant and lasting; 
a grand Rose in every way. 
(See cut on page 192.) 50 cts. each; $5.00 
per doz, 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on ac- 
count of its dainty color and exquisitely 
shaped buds and flowers appeals to everyone. 
The long pointed buds are of a rich flesh- 
pink on stems 12 to 18 inches long; splendid 
for cutting. The plant 1s of strong, vigorous 
growth, with dark glossy foliage that resists mildew and in- 
sects; one of the best and most distinct. 50 cts. each; $5.00 
per doz. f 
Excelsa. A distinct variety in form, color and habit; vigorous in growth, with 
healthy dark glossy green foliage. The flowers are very double, produced in 
large trusses of thirty to forty, 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. The individual flowers are very large for a climbing Rose. 
This may be termed a 
great improvement on 
the Crimson Rambler, 
which it is sure to su- 
percede, if only on ac- 
count of its foliage, which is prac- 
tically mildew proof. 50 cts. each; 
$5.00 per doz. 
Hiawatha. There is no other 
climbing Rose so brilliant as Hia- 
watha. It must be seen to be appreciated. 
Its flowers are about 13 inches across, and 
produced in long, pendulous sprays, with fre- 
quently from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In 
color it is brilliant, ruby-carmine, with a clear Ramscer Rose HiawaTHa 
white eye and a mans of golden stamens— 
a glowing combination of colors, which can 
be seen 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.) 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
Lady Gay. A most desirable variety of remarkable 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 of the soft pink 
flowers, cherry-pink buds, and the deep green of the foliage, is indeed 
charming. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
Paul’s Carmine Pillar. The earliest of the climbing Roses to come 
into flower, it coming into bloom two weeks before any other variety and 
continuing for a long time; the flowers are large and very showy, single 
and of perfect form, of a rich, rosy-carmine with white eye. 50 cts. 
each; $5.00 per doz. 
Price. Any of the above in strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; 
Curmsinc Ross, AviATEUR BLERIOT (offered on page 192) $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
