Hardy Climbing and Trailing Roses 



Planted this Fall^ bloom freely next Summer 



Our collection of Glimbing Roses is, we believe, second to none. Every variety offered has been gl\ en 

 the most rigid sort of test, so that we can recommend every one of the varieties. 



In our own nurseries, in both New Jersey and Delaware, we grow immense quantities of the choicest 

 Ramblers the world affords. Propagated from fine parent strains, well-grown on clean land, properly 

 cultivated and transplanted, we challenge the world to produce a finer rose plant product than that which 

 w e offer. 



The Lovely Trio of the Lovett Sisters* Climbing Roses 



These are all the result of efforts of the famous hybridizer. Dr. Van Fleet, to whom we are indebted 

 for some of the choicest new creations in Roses. Among climbers the following rank unsurpassed: 



ALIDA LOVETT.— In habit it is quite like the 

 popular Van Fleet, but with larger and more 

 beautiful mildew-proof foliage. Both buds and 

 flowers are much brighter and larger, besides being 

 of ideal form; are held on stiff stems a foot and a 

 half to two feet long, and the color is a lively bright 

 shell pink with shading of rich sulphur at the base 

 of 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. Price, 

 field-grown, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



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. There is no other climbing 

 rose we have ever seen that at all approaches, 

 much less rivals, this grand rose in perfume. 

 Flowers are lavishly produced, are of good size, 

 double, full and cupped form. The color is a clear 

 bright red. The roses, which are very lasting, are 

 also very beautiful in bud and are borne on long 

 stems, hence are admirable for cutting. Price, 

 field-grown, each $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



MARY LOVETT.— The superb pure white 

 climbing rose. Flowers are held on long, strong 

 stems and are delightf^jUy 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 flowers are very lasting. Easily the finest 

 and most valuable climbing white rose in culti- 

 vation. Price, field-grown plants, each $1.00; 

 dozen, $10.00. 



Special Offer. — We will supply 1 each 

 of the 3 lovely Lovett Sisters Roses, 

 strong field-grown plants, for $3.00. 



Other Fine Climbers 



Price (except as noted), strong two-year 

 field-grown plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen. 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— This is positively one 

 of the most gorgeous climbers that we have ever 

 seen. Its gloss^"", mildew-proof foliage and ex- 

 tremely strong growth make it desirable for cover- 

 ing summerhouses and arbors; at the same time, 

 its wealth of bloom is truly wonderful. When in 

 bloom it is almost covered with immense clusters 

 of single blossoms, three inches across, that are a 

 lovely apple-blossom pink, with bright golden 

 stamens. 



AUNT HARRIET.— Originated by the famous 

 Rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet. In full bloom 

 it is amazingly fine, with scarlet-crimson Roses 

 loading every branch. Certificate of Merit, A. R. S. 



AVIATEUR BLERIOT.— Saffron-yellow flow- 

 ers, v/ith centers of golden yellow, are produced in 

 clusters. A vigorous grower and quite the finest of 

 its color. 



Climbing American Beauty. — Of the same 

 color and fragrance as the American Beauty, but 

 smaller. A profuse bloomer and a vigorous grower . 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel).- The 

 very pretty pointed buds of this rose are nankeen 

 yellow, turning to waxy white when exp.mded. and 

 have long stems.
