 outer petals are beautifully cupped.

 is of vigorous habit and the flowers are of the 

 same color and fragrance as the popular va- 

 riety whose name it bears. It is a wonderfully

CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY 



THE CHOICEST CLIMBING 

 ROSES, Continued 



AUNT HARRIET.— Originated by the fa- 

 mous Rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet. In 

 full bloom it is amazingly fine, with scarlet- 

 crimson Roses loading every branch. Awarded 

 Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society. 



AVIATEUR BLERIOT. — Saffron-yellow 

 flowers, with centers of golden yellow, are pro- 

 duced in clusters. A vigorous grower and 

 quite the finest climbing rose of its color. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER.— Produces a pr.j- 

 fusion of large clusters of deep crimson semi- 

 double flowers. A splendid variety for cover- 

 ing walls, verandas, etc. . Subject to mildew. 



DOROTHY PERKINS.— A charming and 

 very valuable rose of American origin, pro- 

 ducing clear, shell-pink, double roses in clus- 

 ters that are very lasting. It is a strong 

 grower, very hardy, and a marvelously profuse 

 bloomer. 



CLIMBING ORLEANS.— Profuse bearer 

 of clusters of semi-double flowers that are 

 geranium red, edged with bright carmine, and 

 with white centers; exceedingly showy. 



ERNEST GRANDPIER.— This is a splen- 

 did variety to grow for cut flowers. It is 

 glistening white and so double it has the ap- 

 pearance of a Cape Jasmine. A thrifty grower. 



EXCELSA (Red Dorothy Perkins) .—Flow- 

 ers brilliant crimson; plant of Wichuraiana 

 habit and foliage. It has the vigor and pro- 

 fuse bloom of the Dorothy Perkins, and its 

 double flowers of good size are borne in clus- 

 ters of thirty to forty each. Really an im- 

 proved Crimson Rambler. 



FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD.— This is really 

 an Everblooming Crimson Rambler, the daz- 

 zling crimson flowers being produced inter- 

 mittently from June until frost. 



FRAU OCTAVIE HESSE.— In both habit 

 of growth and mildew resistance this very 

 much resembles Ernest Grandpier. The color, 

 however, is a real deep pink, almost cerise. 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel).— The 



very pretty pointed buds of this rose are nan- 

 keen yellow, turning to waxy white when ex- 

 panded, and are held on long stems. Profuse 

 bloomer with glossy foliage. 



HIAWATHA. — A sturdy variety producing 

 abundant single flowers of a brilliant ruby car- 

 mine with a clear white eye and a mass of 



golden stamens. 



LADY GAY. — A most profuse bloomer, in 

 large loose clusters. Its color is soft cherry 

 pink, changing to bluish white. A large plant, 

 which when in flower, with its cherry pink buds, 

 soft pink flowers and rich green foliage, pre- 

 sents a most charming picture. 



SILVER MOON.— Its buds are exquisite in 

 form and color, and its many semi-double 

 flowers are very pretty and decorative; open- 

 ing a soft nankeen yellow and quickly chang- 

 ing to pure silvery white, are four inches or 

 rnore in diameter and slightly perfumed. A 

 giant in growth, with abundant, glossy leaves.
