HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 



( Continued). 



Lady Gay. A most de- 

 sirable variety of remark- 

 able, vigorous growth, 

 ■with flowers of a delicatt 

 cerise-pink, passing 

 soft-tinted pink. The ei 

 feet of a plant in full blooni 

 with the combination of the 

 soft pink flowers, cherry- 

 pink buds, and the deep 

 green of the foliage is in- 

 deed charming. 



Silver Moon. Flowers very large, four and 

 one-half inches and over in diameter, pure 

 white in color, petals of great substance, beauti- 

 fully cupped, forming a Clematis-like flower. 

 The large bunch of yellow stamens in the 

 centre adds to its attractiveness. These 

 flowers are borne on strong stems 12 to 18 inches long, and 

 are delicately scented. The plant is a strong grower, with 

 large, glossy bronze-green foliage. Strong two-year-old 

 plants, 7o cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Tausendschon. Entirely distinct, not only in Ramblers, but in climbing 

 Roses generally. The individual flowers are very large for this type of Rose, 

 being fully 3 inches across and of a most elegant and graceful form, not stiff or 

 unnatural, but as beautiful as a semi-double Azalea. In color it is a most de- 

 lightful shade of soft pink when first opening, chan;_;ing to carmine on the re- 

 verse of petals when fully expanded. These are produced in trusses of from 

 10 to 1.5 flowers, each truss a veritable bouquet. 



Trier. A strong-growing climber, producing large, gracefully arranged trusses 



of small flowers of a delicate rose color, changing to a creamy white, and showing a large 

 cluster of yellow stamens; it is exceedingly pretty, and deserves a place in every collec- 

 tion. 



White Dorothy. Among Rambler Roses none has justly gained greater popularity than 

 the beautiful pink Dorothy Perkins. The White Dorothy is a duplicate except in color. 



Price. Any of the Hardy Climbing Roses offered on this and preceding page, except where noted, 



in strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 er 100.

I'HREE FINE CI.IMBING 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES. 



While not as free-flowering as the ordinary type of Hybrid- 

 Tea Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of beauti- 

 ful flowers in June, with a very fair scattering of blooms through- 

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

 wood and cut the strong shoots back to prominent eyes.

shadings; a fine climber for a sheltered wall.
