The New Dawn 

 The Everblooming Dr. W. Van Fleet 



(The originators of tliis new Rose have applied for a patent to control its 

 propagation). 

 A sport from Dr. Van Fleet which is universally acknowledged as the best and 

 most popular American Climbing Rose. This new variety is identical in every 

 way with its parent in size and formation of its flowers, color, etc., but blooms 

 continuously throughout the summer and fall months. Really the first worth- 

 while Everblooming Climber introduced: a variety that every Rose lover will be 

 anxious to possess. Strong, two-year-old plants, $2.50 eacli. 



Mme. Gregoire Staech'elin 



The first climbing Rose to which a Gold Medal was awarded at the Inter- 

 national Test Garden for Roses at Bagatelle, Paris, France. 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin has inherited the best traits of both of its popular 

 parents, Frau Karl Druschki and Chateau de Clos Vougeot. The plant is of 

 strong climbing habit growing 12 feet or more high and has large disease resistant 

 foliage. The main stems grow vigorously upright and all along these the following 

 year, side branches, 12 to 14 inches long will develop with exquisite, full, very 

 fragrant flowers. - 



At the tips, the long pointed buds are crimson at first as the sepals divide, then 

 the firm outer petals show splashes of carmine as the flower opens with an iri- 

 descent pearl pink inside. 



A truly wonderful distinct Rose and probably the pioneer of a new race. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 



Chaplin's Pink Climber 



Unquestionably the most important acquisition in climbing Roses since the 

 introduction of Dr. Van Fleet and Paul's Scarlet Climber, universally recognized 

 as the most popular climbing Roses, and to which Chaplin's Pink Climber will 

 prove an equally valuable companion. 



This striking novelty originated in the same nursery in which Paul's Scarlet 

 Climber was raised. It is a cross between Paul's Scarlet and American Pillar, 

 and like its parents is of vigorous growth, perfectly hardy, producing its large 

 flowers, similar in size and form to Paul's Scarlet, profusely in strong trusses of 

 from 8 to 12 flowers each, but in color a rich lively pink. 



At the Spring Show of the National Rose Society of England in 1928, it was the 

 outstanding feature among the new Roses and was awarded the Society's Gold 

 Medal. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 



Primrose, New^ Hardy Yellow Rambler 



(See colored illustration on page 135) 

 In this variety we have what has long been sought after a real hardy yellow 

 rambler, a strong vigorous grower and hardy under the same climatic conditions 

 under which Dr. Van Fleet and similar varieties will succeed. In color it is a 

 glowing shade of light primrose-yellow which color is maintained until the petals 

 drop. Its flowers, are generally borne in trusses of from 2 to 5 flowers, on long 

 stems and are about 2| inches in diameter. The plant is of vigorous climbing 

 habit, free flowering, midseason and the flowers last in good condition for a long 

 time, with healthy dark glossy green foliage. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 

 each; $11.00 per doz. 



New Climbing Rose Thelma 



Similar in habit of growth to Paul's Scarlet Climber which is one of its parents. 

 The flowers are large for this type of Rose, being 3 inches in diameter, usually with 

 three rows of petals, produced in clusters of from 3 to 18 blooms, which last in 

 good condition a long time. Color a delicate coral pink suffused with carmine. 

 A Rose of special merit. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 



Climbing Lafayette or Auguste Kordes 



A sport of the popiflar bedding Polyantha Rose Lafayette, a fine piUar Rose 

 possessing afl of the good characteristics of that desirable variety, but of a strong, 

 vigorous, climbing habit, producing its good-sized very attractive, bright crimson 

 scarlet flowers very freely in large trusses. The plants are covered with bloom 

 from top to bottom in early summer, with some intermittent periods of bloom dur- 

 ing the late summer and fall. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each, $15.00 

 per doz.

Hardy Climbing Roses, one plant of each in
