DOROTHY PERKINS, AN EVER POPULAR FAVORITE OF PROFUSE BliOOMING POWER 



The Choicest Climbing, Trailing & Pillar Roses 



The "Ramblers," as they are commonly called, are easily among the most useful of all plants 

 for home- and estate-grounds. While in bloom, they are objects of beauty difficult to surpass. 

 The remainder of the year they serve the use ul purpose of clothing unsightly fences, gracing 

 trellises and keeping out (perhaps) unwelcome intruders. 



The late Dr. Van Fleet, who was our neighbor, did much to eliminate constitutional w^eaknesses 

 among Rambler Roses. His new hybrids, many of w^hich we offer in the following pages, surpass 

 other Ramblers in both size of flowers and luxuriant foliage. We call special attention to the 

 three varieties, called The Lovett Sisters, offered on page 12. They represent the highest perfec- 

 tion yet attained in this class of Roses. 



Our collection of Climbing Roses is, we believe, second to none. Every variety offered in this 

 catalog has been given the most rigid sort of test, so that we can recommend each one of the 

 varieties with entire confidence that they will please all who plant them.

CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY— Of the 

 same color and fragrance as the popular variety

 bloomer, flowers being borne either singly or 

 in clusters of three. Of fine form and fragrance.

 velously profuse bloomer. (See illustration of 

 a splendid bowser above.)

 mildly perfumed flowers are produced abun- 

 dantly. The charming buds are large and 

 pointed, while the open blooms are large and 

 most attractive.

 rose pink color with salmon tints at base of 

 petals. It is the largest of any Wichuraiana

PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBlER— A very fine 

 English sort which has surely won a place for

 large size and borne long after the June bloom- 

 ers' have seen their day. Winner of many high- 

 est awards. Heavy two=year=o!d field=grown
