strong grower, very hardy and is a marvel- 

 ously profuse bloomer. Mr. W. C. Egan, the 

 rosarian, says of it: 



"When a novelty proves exceptionally good 

 I feel like calling the attention of my friends 

 to it. I have grown about all the so-called 

 Ramblers, but none among them can compare 

 with the new variety of climbing Rose, Dor- 

 othy Perkins."

Mrs. Lovett. — A double, bright pink, sweet- 

 scented form of Rose Wichuriana. There is 

 nothing in the way of Roses which has ap- 

 peared during the last fifty years at least, that 

 has proved such a valuable innovation as the 

 Japanese trailing rose, Wichuriana, now 

 widely known as "The Memorial Rose." Its 

 trailing habit, the beauty of its massive, 

 bright, glossy foliage, its vigorous growth, 

 great hardiness and the wonderful freedom 

 with which its sweet scented blossoms are 

 produced, unite in rendering it of value diffi- 

 cult to over-estimate. The Mrs. Lovett Rose 

 was produced upon our grounds and is one 

 of the many seedings of Wichuriana grown 

 by us. This Rose retains all the excellent 

 properties of its parent and in addition has 

 double flowers — two to two and one-half 

 inches in diameter — and are of the most 

 cheerful, bright rosy-pink imaginable. In 

 every other respect it is a true Wichuriana; 

 in habit of growth and foliage, hardiness and 

 abundance of bloom. Best of all, it is as 

 fragrant as the American Beauty, although 

 its perfume is distinct from that of any other 

 Rose. Young plants, each, 10c; doz. $1.00; 

 Strong field plants, each, 15c; doz. 

 $1.50. Heavy field grown, each, 25c; doz.

Wichuriana. Memorial Rose. — A species 

 from Japan and a perfect trailer, hugging 

 the ground closely. It grows from ten to fif- 

 teen feet in a season, and is densely furnish- 

 ed with a dark green, glossy foliage, forming 

 a dense blanket, always clean and perfect and 

 with but few thorns. The flowers are single, 

 pure snowy-white, with bright golden yellow 

 discs and with the fragrance of the Banksia 

 Rose. They are borne in clusters and in such 

 numbers as to fairly envelop the plant. It 

 blooms later than most roses and continues a 

 long time. Succeeds everywhere, and is pe- 

 culiarly appropriate for cemetery planting. 

 Young plants, each, 10c; doz. $1.00. Strong 

 field grown, each, 15c; doz. $1.50. Heavy 

 field grown, each, 25c; doz. $2.50. 



Ruby Queen. — A strong growing and very 

 hardy new climbing rose of much value. Its 

 flowers are full and double and a deep ruby- 

 rose color. Very healthy disease-resisting 

 foliage, which remains upon the plant until 

 spring. Small plants, each, 10c; doz. $1.00. 

 Strong field grown, each, 25c; doz. $2.50.

Crimson Rambler. — Seldom has any Rose 

 called forth such enthusiastic praise and in- 

 tense admiration or so rapidly become popu- 

 lar as the now well known Crimson Rambler 

 It produces a marvelous profusion of large 

 clusters of deep crimson semi-double flowers 

 of great substance, which remain a long time. 

 A splendid variety for covering walls, veran- 

 das, pillars, etc., being so vigorous in growth 

 as to make shoots of from eight to ten feet 

 during the season; or it may be pegged down 

 or grown in bush form with rich and striking 

 effect. Its profusion of bloom is simply as 

 tonishing, producing a perfect blaze of rich 

 color. Young plants from pots, each, 10c; 

 doz. 100. One year old from field, each 15c; 

 doz. $1.50. Heavy field grown, each, 25c; 

 doz. $2.50. 



Philadelphia. — A seedling of, and an im- 

 provement upon the glorious Crimson Ram- 

 bler. It is a still stronger grower, blooms 

 about two weeks earlier, while the flowers 

 and clusters are larger and of a brighter 

 crimson color. It will doubtless, ere long 

 supplant its parent. Young plants in pots, 

 each, 15c; doz. $1.50. Field grown, each, 

 25c; doz. $2.50. 



Climbing Clothilde Soupert. — An invaluable 

 new very hardy Rose of climbing habit with 

 exceptionally clean, healthy handsome foli- 

 age. Its hundreds of clusters of well form- 

 ed, perfectly double roses are French white 

 with a distinct center of silvery-rose and are 

 produced the whole summer through. Small 

 plants, each, 10c; doz. $1.00. Large field 

 grown, each, 25c; doz. $2.50. 



Dorothy Perkins. — A charming and very val- 

 uable Rose of American origin, producing 

 clear, shell-pink roses in clusters. It is a
