FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 



Hardy Climbing Roses— Continued 



Climbing Orleans. — Produces, in clusters, 

 semi-double geranium red blooms with edges of 

 bright carmine and white centers. 



Crimson Rambler. — Produces a profusion of 

 large clusters of deep crimson semi-double flowers. 

 A splendid variety for covering walls, veranc^s, 

 etc. Subject to mildew. 



Dorothy Perkins. — An imusually profuse 

 bloomer, giving large clusters of clear rose pink, 

 double flowers, which are very lasting. It is a 

 strong grower and very hardy. A very valuable 

 rose. 



DR. W. VAN FLEET.— Delicate shell pink, 

 mildly perfumed flowers are produced abundantly. 

 The perfect pointed buds are large and as perfect 

 as though greenhouse-grown, and the open blooms 

 are large and most attractive. The center is built 

 high and the outer petals are beautifully cupped. 



ELIZABETH ZEIGLAR.— In both form and 

 color it is way ahead of the ever popular "Dorothy 

 Perkins." A strong grower and profuse bloomer, 

 and the flowers last a long time. 



Ernest Grandpier. — Blooms are glistening 

 creamy white, double, with a pointed center and 

 resemble a Cape Jasmine. Splendid for cutting. 



EXCELS A (Red Dorothy Perkins). Flowers 

 - brilliant crimson; plant of Wichuraiana habit and 

 foliage. It has the vigor and profuse bloom of the 

 Dorothy Perkins, and its double flowers of good 

 size are borne in clusters of thirty to forty each. 

 Really an improved Crimson Rambler. 



FRAU OCTAVIE HESSE.— In both habit of 

 growth and mildew resistance this very much re- 

 sembles Ernest Grandpier. The color, however, is 

 a real deep pink, almost cerise. 



Hiawatha. — A sturdy variety, producing 

 abundant single flowers of a brilliant rubv carmine 



with a clear white eye and a mass of golden 

 stamens. 



Lady Gay. — A profuse bloomer of soft cherry 

 pink flowers which fade to blush white. When 

 in flower with its cherry pink buds, soft pink 

 flowers and rich green foliage, it presents a picture 

 beyond words to describe. 



Paxil's Scarlet Climber.— This surely has won 

 a place for itself, with its large, brilliant scarlet 

 flowers produced in glorious profusion. Though 

 but semi-double, the flowers are of surprisingly 

 large size and are borne long after the June 

 bloomers have seen their day. Heavy 2-year-old 

 field-gprown plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per 

 dozen. 



Purity. — A semi-double white of exceptional 

 size and beauty. Pronounced one of the finest 

 white roses in'^ cultivation. Heavy 2-year-old 

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



Silver Moon. — A rose in a class by itself. 

 So strong a grower, it is a giant. Has innumerable 

 very beautiful nankeen yellow pointed buds in 

 June, which open into pure silver white blossoms, 

 four inches or more in diameter. 



Tausendschoen (Thousand Beauties)™A 

 fine rose indeed. From early June until well into 

 July it is literally covered with clusters of semi- 

 double flowers of varied shades of deep to light pink 

 and white. 



Vondel. — Many clusters of clear light pmk 

 flowers with creamy white centeis are produced 

 from June until frost. A true "Ever-blooming 



Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose).— A perfect 

 trailer with dense dark glossy green foliage and 

 single pure white flowers. 



White Dorothy Perkins. — A sport ot the 

 popular Dorothy Perkins, and like it in eyerv way 

 except that its flowers are white. Free m bloom 

 and with disease-resistant foliage. 



Price (except as noted), strong two-year field-grown plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen.
