HARDY CUMBING 



AND 



RAMBLER 

 ROSES 



American Pillar. A single-flowering 



variety of great beauty, which ap- 

 peals to every one. 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 stamens. These 



flowers are borne in immense bunches, and a 



large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily 



forgotten. They last in perfection a long 



time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or 



berries, which are carried late into the winter, 



and as the plant frequently retains its lovely 



green foliage until the end of November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject 



throughout the autumn months. 50cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 

 Aviateur Bleriot ( The New Telloio Rambler). We have discarded the old yellow 



Rambler in favor of this new variety, in which we have a strong-growing plant 



with beautiful glossy, insect and disease-proof foliage, and bearing large clusters 



of medium-sized full double flowers of a saff'ron-yellow, deepening to an almost 



golden-yellow at the centre. 50 cts. each; |5.00 per doz. 

 Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, a cross between Caroline Testout 



and an unnamed seed- 



Climbing Rose 

 Amekican Pillar 



Climbing American Beauty Rose 



ling; it is of strong 

 climbing habit, with large, heavy, dark 

 green foliage, which is immune to dis- 

 ease. The flowers are double, from 3^ 

 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. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Climbing American Beauty. A cross between American Beauty and 

 an unnamed seedling. Its name is somewhat misleading, but it is 

 nevertheless one of the best climbing Roses. A strong, healthy, 

 vigorous grower, frequently making shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, 

 with glossy dark green foliage that is not affected with mildew, and 

 good sized flowers for a climbing Rose that blooms so freely; color a 

 pleasing rose-pink, of splendid form, good substance, and on stems of 

 good length. A Rose of decided merit. (See cut.) 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz. 



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

 introduced from 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; $5.00 per doz. 



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

 ters; very fragrant and lasting; a grand Rose in every way. 50 cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on account of its dainty color and 

 exquisitely shaped buds and flowers, appeals to every one. The long 

 pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink on stems 12 to 18 inches long; 

 splendid for cutting. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, with 

 dark glossy foliage that resists mildew and insects; one of the best and 

 most distinct. 50 cts. each; $5.00 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 of thirty to forty, and almost 

 every eye on a shoot produces clusters of flowers. The color is in- 

 tense crimson-maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The 

 individual flowers are very large for a climbing Rose. This may be 

 termed a great improvement on the Crimson Rambler, which it is sure 

 to supercede, if only on account of its foliage, which is practically mil- 

 dew proof 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
