Climbing Roses (Continued). 



DOEOTHY PEEKIjVS. — A charming and very valuable 

 Rose of American origin, producing clear, shell pink, 

 double Roses in clusters that are very lasting. It is a 

 strong grower, very hardy and a marvelously profuse 

 bloomer. Being superior to the Pink Rambler and of 

 the same color, I have discarded the last named variety. 



FLOWEE OF FAIEFIELD.— An innovation of very great 

 value, being a perpetual blooming Crimson Rambler. 

 Strong 2 year plants, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. 



HIAWATHA. — A strong growing variety with lovely 

 single flowers. An authority on roses says of it: "There 

 is no other rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be 

 seen to be appreciated. Its flowers are about IH inches 

 across and produced in long pendulous sprays, with fre- 

 quently from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In color it 

 is a brilliant ruby-carmine with a clear white eye and a 

 mass of golden stamens — a glowing combinationi of 

 colors, which can be seen at a great distance,, and which 

 does not tire the eye as do masses of Crimson Rambler. 

 The plant is of strong vigorous growth with bright 

 glossy foliage, which it retains until late in fall." 

 Strong two year plants, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. 



LADY GAY. — A rambler rose of American origin and a 

 most profuse bloomer, in large loose clusters. Its color 

 is soft cherry pink changing to blush white. A large 

 plant in flower with its cherry pink buds, soft white 

 flov/ers and rich green foliage presents a picture beyond 

 words to describe. 



MES. LOVETT.— A double, bright pink, sweet scented 

 form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It 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 imagin- 

 able. In every other respect it is a true Wichuraiana. 



PHILADELPHIA. — A seedling of and an improvement 

 upon the glorious Crimson Rambler. It is not so strong 

 a grower but blooms about two weeks earlier, while the 

 flowers and clusters are larger and of a brighter crimson. 



TAUSENDSCHON (Thousand Beauties). — A strong grow- 

 ing variety and covered from early June until July 

 with clusters of semi-double flowers of every shade from 

 white to deep pink. The roses are larger than those of 

 the average rambler and are produced in bewildering 

 profusion and variety of color. 



WICHUBAIANA. Memorial Rose.— A perfect trailer, hug. 

 ging the ground closely. It grows from ten to fifteen 

 feet in a season, and is densely furnished with dark 

 green, glossy foliage. The flowers are single, pure 

 snowy-white, with bright golden yellow stamens and 

 with the fragrance of the Banksia Rose. 



WHITE EAMBLEE AND YELLOW EAMBLEB.— These two 

 roses are similar in habit to Crimson Rambler; the former 

 producing double, pure white, and the latter clear lemon 

 yellow roses in clusters. 



Price (except as noted), strong two year old plants, 

 each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 



Any of the above (except the last three named), 

 heavy plants from 5 inch pots, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. 



MOSS ROSES. 



Very hardy and much admired by reason of the 

 mossy covering of the calayx and the delightful fra- 

 grance. I have them in separate colors, viz., Pink, Red 

 and White. Strong two years old, each, 30c; doz., 

 $3.00. 



PERSIAN YELLOW ROSE. 



Large deep golden yellow flowers. Very hardy and 

 with a great number of long sharp spines or "thorns." 

 E;.specially valuable for planting with shrubbery and 

 much used in cemetery planting. Strong two year old 

 plants, each, 33c; doz., $3.50. 



HYBRID RUGOSA ROSES. 



An exceedingly valuable group of roses by reason of 

 their extreme hardihood, rich deep green foliage — that is 

 exceedingly free from insect pests, rust and blight— deli- 

 cious fragrance and perpetual blooming properties. The 

 foliage of all the varieties named is very dense and leath- 

 ery; as in the species (Rosa rugosa), and in addition to 

 flowering freely in June, they continue to bloom more or 

 less freely all summer and autumn. 



ALICE ALDEICH. — Sent out by the Monmouth Nursery 

 several years ago and by its merits has won favor with 

 many. It is a hybrid of Rosa rugosa and a tea rose 

 and is of ironclad hardihood. A prominent rose grower 

 in speaking of it says: "We consider this a remarkably 

 fine bush rose for garden planting. It has lovely buds 

 and its large double flowers of c'«*ar bright pink are 

 borne during the whole growing season; very sweet and 

 beautiful." 



CONEAD F. MEYEE.— A grand variety, a hybrid between 

 Rosa rugosa and a tea rose. It has elegant long pointed 

 buds that develop into perfectly double flowers, three to 

 four inches in diameter, of tender silvery-rose, that are 

 exquisitely perfumed. It is of strong growth and as 

 hardy as an Oak tree. The finest of the Rugosa hj'brids 

 to date. 



NEW CENTUEY.— The flowers of this are borne in clus- 

 ters, and are of good size, perfectly double, rosy-pink, 

 deepening at the center, and pleasantly fragrant. Being 

 a hvbrid of Rosa rugosa and the everblooming Clothilde 

 Soupert, it is a profuse and constant bloomer. 



SIE THOS. LIPTON.— The finest and best Rugosa hybrid 

 giving double white flowers. It is of strong, robust 

 habit and beautiful foliage and a free and constant 

 bloomer of fragrant double pure white roses. Of iron- 

 clad hardiness. 



Strong field grown plants, each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 



One each of the four for $1.00. 



STANDARD OR TREE ROSES. 



There are but few things in horticulture so strikingly 

 beautiful and so picturesque as Tree Roses; the displays 

 of them in England and Germany when in flower, being 

 truly marvelous. Until of recent date, these standards 

 were produced only by "working" the different varieties 

 upon stems of the dog rose, which unfortunately does 

 not succeed in our American climate of bright sunshine 

 and dry atmosphere; hence in the past, Tree Roses were 

 not permanent and somewbat unsiatisfactory in the 

 United States. It is with joy I am able to state we now 

 have Standard Roses, "worked" or budded upon Rosa 

 rugosa stocks and we may now have and enjoy these 

 objects of great beauty with the same measure of per- 

 fection and satisfaction as our English or German friends 



BABY EAMBLEBS AS STANDABDS. 



Too much can scarcely be said in favor of these per- 

 petual blooming roses as standards Not only are they 

 beautiful in June, but they continue to lend bright color 

 and a fairyland effect to the rose garden and house 

 grounds throughout the entire summer and autumn. 

 Handsome plants with fine heads, each $1.00; doz., $10.00. 



OTHER YABIETIES. 



In addition to the above, I offer an assortment of 

 choice varieties, grown as standards; such as Dorothy 

 Perkins, Frau Kari. Druschki, Magna Charta, Tau- 

 SENDSCHON, etc. They are all beautiful plants with 

 large full heads. 



Price, each, 80c; doz., $8.00.
