LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



CLIMBING ROSES 



Paul Scarlet. This most popular of red climbing Roses bears loose open 

 clusters of unfading scarlet flowers, blazing in their intensity, semidouble 

 and borne on strong branched canes. The prolificacy of bloom renders it a 

 mass of unfading color from top to bottom, and there is frequently a Fall 

 repetition of floral charm. Especially effective on pillars or posts. 



Phyllis Bide. A dEiintily lovely sort with shapely buds of pale gold and 

 carmine-pink, turning to buff-yellow flowers, in loose clusters. Usually ex- 

 periences a recurrence of bloom in the Fall and thrives with little care in 

 any location. Each 75c, doz. $7.50. 



Prosperity. Many globular pinkish-white buds turn to clusters of big white 

 Roses on this most everblooming of climbing sorts. Each 75c, doz. S7.50. 



Roserie. Nearly thornless, with big frilled flowers, of rich deep pink, borne in 

 loose clusters. 



Silver Moon. Most popular white cUmber yet introduced, with big buds of 

 Naples yellow turning to gigantic single flowers, saucer-shaped, moon-white 

 in color and centered brilliant yellow. These flowers, resembling large flow- 

 ered Clematis, are borne in sprays on long stems, with lasting, delightful 

 fragrance. Ideal for covering an otherwise unsightly fence. 



Spanish Beauty (Mme. Gregoire Staechelin). A gorgeous variety which 

 may be the forerunner of a new line of Roses. This erect climber bears an 

 overwhelming abundance of long-pointed crimson buds, from three to five 

 on a stem, opening one after the other to huge iridescent blooms of delicate 

 peeirl pink, splashed with carmine, and bearing delightful perfume. These 

 floral gems are followed by seed pods as Isirge as small pears, and very 

 decorative. Each 75c, doz. §7 50. 



Thelma. An unusually beautiful climber, Thelma bears clusters of large yet 

 delicate coral-pink flowers, produced in terrific quantity. 



Memorial Rose of Japan (Rosa wichuraiana). An invaluable trailer, with 

 many big clusters of pure white flowers. As each branch lies flat, it is ideal 

 for covering banks with a dense mat of shining semi-evergreen foliage. 

 Each 50c, doz. $5.00, 100 S35.00. 



Price (except as noted), strong, 2-year, field-grown plants, each 60c, 

 doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 



"LOVETT SISTERS" CLIMBING ROSES 



Among rose hybridizers, few have to their credit a greater number of worth 

 while creations than the late Dr. Van Fleet. All the Van Fleet hybrids are 

 pEirticularly valuable in having deep glossy mildew-proof foUage. In addition, 

 the flowers are larger, of better substance, and more artistic form than those 

 of most other climbing roses. We count the three Van Fleet Hybrids, offered 

 on this page, among the really triumphant achievements of Dr. Van Fleet's life. 

 Alida Lovett. In habit it is quite like the popular Van Fleet, but with larger 

 and more beautiful mildew-proof foliage, while the color of the flower is 

 brighter. Both buds and flowers are large, of ideal form, and held on stiff 

 stems a foot and a half to two feet long; and the color is a lively bright shell- 

 pink with shadings of rich sulphur at the base of the petals — a combination 

 that is both novel and beautiful. The plant is of strong growth, a free 

 bloomer and of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a long season. It is also 

 quite fragrant. 



Bess Lovett. Is of strong growth, with large glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, 

 and, what is remarkable in a climbing rose, the flowers are exquisitely 

 fragrant. Flowers are lavishly produced; are of good size, double, full and 

 cupped form, being similar in make-up to the Climbing American Beauty, 

 but very much brighter red in color and more fragrant by far. The roses, 

 which Eire very lasting, are also very beautiful in bud and are borne on 

 long stems. 



Mary Lovett. It is very much Uke the beautififl Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, 

 except in that the large full flowers are pure snow-white. They are held on 

 long, strong stems and are delightfully sweet-scented. It blooms in late 

 Summer and Autumn, as well as in June. It is a strong grower, with abundant 

 mildew-proof foliage, and is exceedingly free flowering. The finest and most 

 valuable climbing white rose as yet offered. 

 Anv of these "Lovett Sisters" Roses, strong, 2-year, field-grown plants, 

 each 75c, doz. $7.50. 

 One each of the three sorts for only .$1.95. 



TWO GLORIOUS NEW ROSES 

 Apricot Glow (Plant Patent No. 200). Magnificently gorgeous are the flowers 

 produced by this distinctly different climber. They are of a luminous shade 

 of pale apricot, based yellow, and borne in big, showy trusses. Not the least 

 of their chairms is their rich fruity perfume. Though a new climber, this 

 sort is beyond question headed for the top of the list. 

 Golden Glow (Patent Applied for). Many amateur gardeners have com- 

 plained of the scarcity of bloom on yellow-flowered hardy Climbing Roses. 

 Here is one, however, which should please them, for a simply overwhelming 

 number of golden flowers are produced, making the plant a riot of briUiancy 

 in its June crop. All in all. Golden Glow is the most promising of all the 

 newer Climbers, as proof of which it was recently awarded a medal for 

 excellence, by the International Test Gardens of Portland, Oregon. 

 Either variety, strong, 2-year, field-grown plants, each $1.50, doz. $15.00
