HARDY CLIMBING AND TRAILING ROSES 



Planted this Fall, bloom freely next Summer 



Our collection of Climbing Roses is, we believe, second to none. Every variety offered has 

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

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



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.— This may be described 

 in brief by saying it is an improved Dr. Van 

 Fleet. In habit it is quite like the popular Van 

 Fleet, but with larger and more beautiful mil- 

 dew-proof foliage. 



Both buds and flowers are large; are 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. It is very much brighter and 

 more cheerful in color, with larger flowers than 

 those of the justly popular Dr. Van Fleet Rose. 



The plant is of strong growth, a free bloomer 

 and of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a 

 long season. It is also quite fragrant. Price, 

 each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



Climbing American Beauty. — Of the same color and fra- 

 grance as the American Beauty, but smaller. A profuse 

 bloomer and a vigorous grower. 



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 pro- 

 duced, are of good size, double, full and cupped 

 form; being similar in make-up to the Climbing 

 American Beauty, but very much brighter in 

 color and more fragrant by far. 



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. It is very much like the beauti- 

 ful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, except that the 

 large full flowers are pure snow white. They 

 are held on long, strong stems and are delight- 

 fully 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 

 ■f left upon the plant or when cut. Be- 

 yond question, the finest and most valu- 

 able climbing white rose as yet offered. 

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

 dozen, $10.00. 



OTHER FINE CLIMBERS 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— This is posi- 

 tively one of the most gorgeous climbers 

 that we have ever seen. Its glossy, mil- 

 dew-proof foliage and extremely strong 

 growth make it desirable for covering 

 summerhouses and arbors; at the same 

 time, its wealth of bloom is truly won- 

 derful. 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-crim- 

 son Roses loading every branch. 

 Certificate of Merit, A. R. S. 



AVIATEUR BLERIOT. — Saf- 

 fron-yellow flowers, with centers 

 of golden yellow, are produced in 

 clusters. A vigorous grower and 

 quite the finest of its color. 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal 

 Niel). — The very pretty pointed 

 buds of this rose are nankeen yel- 

 low, turning to waxy white when 

 expanded, and have long stems.
