HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SELECT ROSES 



Hardy Climbing and 

 Rambler Roses 



Since the introduction of the Crimson Rambler, in 1894, 

 this class of Roses has continued to gain in popularity. We- 

 otTer the best and most distinct. 



American Pillar. A single-flowering variety of enormoos. 

 siae, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, 

 with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. 



Aviateur Bleriot (The New Yellow Rambler). I>arge clus- 

 ters of medium-sized full double flowers of a saffron yel- 

 low, deepening to an almost golden-yellow at the centre. 



.strong two-year old plants, 75 cts. each. 



Climbing American Beauty. A cross between American 

 Beauty and an unnamed seedling; color a rosy crimson, 

 similar to its popular parent, and with the same exquisite 

 fragrance. Strong two-year old plants, 75 eta. each. 



Crimson Rambler. Too well known to require descrip- 

 tion. Everyone is familiar with its large clusters of crim- 

 son flowers. 



Excelsa. Intense crimson-maroon, the tips of the petals, 

 tinged with .^carlet. This may be termed a great improve- 

 ment on the Crimson Rambler, which it is sure to super- 

 sede, if only on account of its foliage, which is mildew 

 proof.

In color it is brilliant, rnby-oarmine, with a clear whitfr 

 eye and a mass of golden stamens — a glowing combination 

 of colors.

 delicate cerise-pink passing to soft tinted pink.

 type of Rose. In color a most delightful shade of soft pink 

 when first opening, changing to carmine on the reverse of 

 petals when ftilly expanded.
