Newer Climbing and Rambler Roses 



Albertine. A remarkably free-flowering rambler with 

 nicely shaped buds expanding to moderately double 

 flowers of splendid form, nearly four inches in diameter; 

 of a pleasing cameo-pink with silvery suffusion, sweetly 

 scented; foliage rich deep glossy green. 



Bloomfield Exquisite. One of Captain Thomas' Hy- 

 brids. A cross between Gloire de Dijon and Gruss an 

 Teplitz. Buds long and pointed, flowers of large size, 

 very double, of strong La France fragrance, and of a solid 

 clear pink color, usually borne singly on stems of medium 

 length. A profuse and perpetual bloomer. $2.00 each. 



Bishop Darlington. A perpetual flowering climber 

 growing about 8 ft. high, with ovoid buds of medium size; 

 these are of an attractive orange-red opening to fair- 

 sized semi-double cupped flowers, flesh pink with yellow 

 glow at centre, the reverse with light canary base, giving 

 a pleasing bicolored effect; sweet fruity scent. One of 

 Captain Thomas' Hybrids which has been found perfectly 

 hardy in Pennsylvania. $2.00 each. 



Emily Gray. In this we have a real yellow climbing Rose. 

 The buds are long and pointed, of splendid shape; in color 

 a beautiful light orange-yellow, changing to pale orange 

 as they expand; they are borne on stiff stems of sufficient 

 length for cutting, these stems are of a crimson-red color 

 which together with the unusually dark green, glossy, 

 holly-like foliage, adds a charm to the flowers and makes 

 the plant, even when out of bloom, a most ornamental 

 subject. Requires protection north of Philadelphia. 



Ernestine Cosme. A unique single flowered variety of 

 pretty form and of a delicate soft pink which are produced 

 in great pyramidal-shaped, many flowered sprays, in 

 greatest profusion; a vigorous healthy grower. 



Jacotte. Color shrimp-pink or light salmon-orange shaded golden 



yellow at base; flowers fully 2\ inches in diameter, delightfully 



scented; rich dark green glossy disease-resisting foliage, entirely 



distinct from all others and a color which will make it a favorite. 

 Le Reve. Another yellow pillar Rose on the style of Star of 



Persia. Experts are not agreed as to which of the two varieties 



is the most desirable. Dr. J. Horace McFarland, editor of the 



American Rose Annual, speaking of this variety as it appeared 



to him at his Breeze Hill Gardens on May 31st, says, "Le 



Reve is perfectly beautiful today. This is a yellow rose re- 

 quiring no excuse for any fading, for it is yellow and stays 



yellow. The foliage is good, the plant is good looking, and 



the fragrance to me is delightful." 



Mermaid. Beautiful large single creamy white flowers, 3 to 4 

 inches in diameter. A most attractive free and more or less 

 perpetual flowering variety. A splendid pillar Rose, but not 

 dependably hardy in this latitude. It requires careful winter 

 protection. 



Mme Jenny. A very strong growing climber with large, 

 healthy disease-resisting foliage with flowers two inches and 

 over in diameter borne in clusters of from 5 to 7 flowers each; 

 these are cup-shaped, quite full, of a delicate satiny rose color 

 with a delightful fragrance, not unlike the old-fashioned sweet- 

 scented Cabbage or Provence Rose. $1.50 each. 



New Climbing Rose, Emily Gray 



Phyllis Bide (New Everblooming Climber). This really per- 

 petual flowering climber was awarded a Gold Medal at the 

 National Rose Society's Show at Glasgow, Scotland, in 1924. 

 The feature of this variety is that it blooms continuously 

 throughout the summer and fall and while the dainty flowers 

 are of small size they are of exquisite form in bud, opening 

 with gracefully reflexed petals and are produced in long loose 

 sprays; in color a pale gold at base flushed and shaded pretty 

 rosy-carmine towards the edges. $1.50 each. 



Solarium. In single flowering climbers this is a gem. It is of 

 the same type as Hiawatha on which it is a decided improve- 

 ment, the flowers being larger, more freely produced and of 

 more brilliant coloring, an intensely rich crimson-scarlet. 



Star of Persia. A brilliant new Rose with flowers on the order 

 of the lovely old Harrison's Yellow, semi-double, bright yellow, 

 and about 3 inches across. It makes a striking low climber or 

 pillar Rose from 8 to 10 feet high, bursting into showers of 

 sparkling bloom in June. It does not fade and the flower 

 trusses last several weeks. 



The Beacon. A distinct and effective novelty, bright fiery- 

 red with white eye in the way of American Pillar, single and 

 semi-double, produced in large clusters, handsome foliage. 



Price. Any of the above new varieties, except where noted, in strong plants, $1.00 each; the set of 13 sorts for $14.00.
