CLIMBING AND TRAILING ROSES. 



CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT.— A very 

 hardy Rose of climbing habit with clean, healthy, hand- 

 some foliage. Its clusters of well formed, perfectly 

 double roses are French whita with a distinct center 

 of silvery-rose and are produced the whole summer 

 through. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER. — Produces a marvelous pro- 

 fusion of large clusters of deep crimson semi-double 

 flowers. A splendid variety for covering walls, verandas, 

 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. 



DOROTHY PERKINS. — A charming and very valu- 

 able 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 pro- 

 fuse bloomer. Being superior to the Pink Rambler 

 and of the same color, I have discarded the last named 

 variety. 



MRS. LOVETT. — A double, bright pink, sweet scent- 

 ed form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It retains all the ex- 

 cellent properties of its parent and in addition has 

 double flowers — two to two and one-half inches in 

 diameter — and are ot the most cheerful, bright rosy-pink 

 imaginable. In every other respect it is a true Wich- 

 uraiana, in habit ot growth and foliage, hardiness and 

 abundance of bloom. 



PHILADELPHIA. — A seedling of and an improve- 

 ment upon the glorious Crimson Rambler. It is not 

 as strong a grower but blooms about two weeks earlier, 

 while the flowers and clusters are larger and of a 

 brighter crimson. 



TAUSENDSCHON. (Thousand Beauties).— An en- 

 thusiast thus describes this novel climbing variety: "The 

 most sensational climbing rose yet introduced, not bar- 

 ring the great Crimson Rambler. Imagine a rose pro- 

 ducing so many differently colored flowers that it is 

 impossible to describe or even picture the variatiois. 

 A single cluster of flowers is a whole bouquet in itself, 

 hence the very fitting name, 'Thousana Beauties.' 

 Blooms profusely from the beginning of June until the 

 last of July, the flowers appearing in large clusters, 

 10 to 15 in a cluster; of splendid size and quite double. 

 The colors run from delicate balsam or tender rose 

 through the intermediate shades of bright rose and 



carmine, with white, yellow and various other delicate 

 tints showing. There is no other rose in cultivation 

 like it. It is a strong grower, with but few thorns, 

 magnificent foliage, a valuable feature in itself. Im- 

 pervious against mildew and absolutely hardy in the 

 open ground." 



WICHURAIANA. Memorial Rose.— A perfect 

 trailer, hugging 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 discs and with 

 the fragrance of the Banksia Rose. They are borne 

 in clusters and in such numbers as to fairly envelop the 

 plant. Succeeds everywhere, and is peculiarly appropri- 

 ate for cemetery planting. (See cut.) 



WHITE RAMBLER AND YELLOW RAMBLER.— 



These two roses are similar in habit to Crimson Ram- 

 bler, the former producing double, pure white, and the 

 latter clear, lemon yellow roses in cluster. 



Heavy, two year field grown plants, each, 25c; doz., 

 $2.50.
