Price list will be found on page 8. 



Class I.— Climbing or Sarmentous Roses. 



ALL THESE ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. 



AYRSHIRE ROSES. {Rosa Arvensis Hybrida.) These are of slender, 

 Tapid growth, often running fifteen feet in one season, and are used in covering build- 

 ings, etc. They do not require rich soil, and should be pruned very little, or not at 

 all ; they are somewhat Icfs hardy and less valuable than the Hybrid Climbing and 

 Prairie Eoses. We have retained but one variety. 



Bennett's Seedling. Vig. Pure white, double flowers, of medium size. 



BANKSTA ROSES. {Rosa Banksia.) Most of the varieties in this class 

 have small white flowers, resembling double cherry blossoms. The wood is very 

 smooth, slender, and of rapid growth ; the foliage quite small. Not being hardy they 

 have no great value in the North, but in the Southern States they form a very desirable 



group. 



White. Vicj. Pure white, small full flowers, with the delicate fragrance of the violet- 

 Yellow. Vig. Clear yellow ; small double flowers. 



HYBRID CLIMBING- ROSES. {Rosa Hybrida Scandens.) This class 

 takes in those sorts for which it is difficult to find a group where they can be appropri- 

 ately placed. 



Fortune's Double Yellow. Syn. Beauty of Glazenwood. Vig. Bronzed 

 yellow, sometimes with a shade of red ; medium size, double ; seven leaflets. A shy 

 bloomer ; should not be pruned. 



La Saumonee. {Margottin, 1877.) Vig. Salmon rose, medium size. The habit 

 shows much of the Jules Margottin character. 



PRAIRIE ROSES. {Rosa Rtibifolia.) These are much the most valuable 

 ■of all the non-remontant climbers. The foliage is rough, large, with five leaflets, 

 generally of a dark color ; for rapidity of growth they equal the Ayrshires, and surpass 

 all climbers in hardiness. The flowers are produced in large clusters late in the season, 

 when other Summer Roses are gone. When it is desired to cover walls, unsightly 

 buildings, etc., with Roses, none will be found to do the work so efficiently as varieties 

 of the Prairie Rose, 



Anna Maria. {Samuel Feast, 1843.) Vig. Blush ; clusters large ; has very few 

 thorns. 



Baltimore Belle. {Sanmel Feast, 1843.) Vig. Pale blush, becoming nearlv 

 white ; compact and fine.
