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 a lovely shade of pink, with a clear 

 white eye and cluster of yellow stamen-. 

 These flowers are borne in immense bunches, 

 and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not 

 easily forgotten. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Aviateur Bleriot {The New Yellow Ram- 

 bler). We have discarded the old yellow 

 Rambler in favor of this new variety, in which 

 we have a strong growing plant with beauti- 

 ful glossy, insect and disease-proof foliage, and bearing large clusters of medium- 

 sized full double flowers of a saffron-yellow, deepening to an almost golden- 

 yellow at the centre. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Christine Wright. A most exquisite rose, of strong climbing habit. The 

 flowers are double, from 3J to 4 inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, 

 of perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded flower; in color a 



most refreshing bright 

 wild-rose pink. 60 cts. 

 each; $6.00 per doz. 



Climbing Rose 

 American Pitlar 



Climbing Amkrican Brauty Rose 



Climbing American 



Beauty. Its name is somewhat mis- 

 leading, but it is nevertheless one of the 

 best climbing Roses. A strong, healthy, 

 vigorous grower, frequently making 

 shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, and 

 good sized flowers for a climbing Rose 

 that blooms so freely; color a pleasing 

 rose pink, of splendid form, good sub- 

 stance, and on stems of good length. A Rose of decided merit. (See 

 cut.) 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Crimson Rambler. This was the first of the Rambler Roses, and was 

 introduced fro.n Japan in 1894. It is too well known to require de- 

 scription. Everyone is familiar with its large clusters of crimson 

 flowers. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large 

 clusters; very fragrant and lasting; a grand Rose in every -way; illus- 

 trated on page 36. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose which on account af 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. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



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, 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. 60 cts. each; $6-00 per doz. 



liiawatha. There is no other climbing Rose so brilliant -as Hiawatha. 

 A brilliant, ruby-carmine, with a white eye and a mass of golden 

 stamens — a glowing combination of colors, which can be seen at a 

 great distance. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Lady (jay. 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 and the deep green of the foliage is, 

 indeed, charming. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Paul's Carmine Pillar. The earliest of the climbing Roses to come 

 into flower. The flowers are large and very showy, single and of per- 

 fect form, of a rich rosy-carmine with white eye. 60 cts. each; $6.00 

 . per doz.
