Climbing and Trailing Roses 



Wichuraiana or Memorial Rose. 



CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT— An invaluable 

 very hardy Rose of climbing habit with exceptionally 

 clean, healthy, handsome foliage. Its hundreds of clusters 

 of well formed, perfectly double roses are French white 

 with a distinct center of silvery-rose and are produced 

 the whole summer through. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER— Produces a marvelous porfu- 

 sion of large clusters of deep crimson semi-double flowers 

 of great substance, which remain a long time. A splendid 

 variety for covering walls, verandas, pillars, etc., being so 

 vigorous in growth as to make shoots of from eight to 

 ten feet during the season ; or it may be pegged down 

 or grown in bush form with rich and striking effect. 



DOROTHY PERKINS— A charming and very valu- 

 able Rose of American origin, producing clear, shell pink, 

 double Roses in clusters that are very lasting. It is a 

 strong grower, very hardy and a marvelously profuse 

 bloomer. Being superior to the Pink Rambler and of 

 the same color, I have discarded the last named variety. 



MRS. LOVETT — A double, bright pink, sweet scented 

 form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It retains all the excellent 

 properties of its parent and in addition has double flow- 

 ers — two to two and one-half inches in diameter — and are 

 of the most cheerful, bright rosy-pink imaginable. In 

 every other respect it is a true Wichuraiana, in habit of 

 growth and foliage, hardiness and abundance of bloom. 



PHILADELPHIA — A seedling of and an improvement 

 upon the glorious Crimson Rambler. It is a still stronger 

 grower, blooms about two weeks earlier, while the 



flowers and clusters are larger and of a brighter crimson 

 color. 



WICHURAIANA. Memorial Rose— A species from 

 Japan and a perfect trailer, hugging the ground closely. 

 It grows fron ten to fifteen feet in a season, and is 

 densely furnished with dark green, glossy foliage, forming 

 a dense blanket, always clean and perfect with but few 

 thorns. The flowers are single, pure snowy-white, with 

 bright golden yellow discs and with the fragrance of the 

 Banksia Rose. They are borne in clusters and in such 

 numbers as to fairly envelop the plant. It blooms later 

 than most roses and continues a long time. Succeeds 

 everywhere, and is peculiarly appropriate for cemetery 

 planting. (See cut.) 



WHITE RAMBLER AND YELLOW RAMBLER— 

 These two roses are similar in habit to Crimson Rambler, 

 the former producing double, pure white, and the latter 

 clear, lemon yellow roses in cluster. 



Price, strong, one year field grown plants, each, 15c; 

 doz., $1.50. 



Price, heavy, two year field grown plants, each, 25c; 

 doz., $2.50. 



MOSS ROSES 



Very hardy and much admired by many by reason of 

 the mossy covering of the calyx. They are delightfully 

 fragrant. I grow them in colors only, Pink, Red and 

 White. 



Strong, two year field grown plants, each, 25c ; doz., 

 $2.50. 



Superb Dahlias 



Though not hardy — it being necessary to take up the roots in autumn and store them where they will not become 

 frozen during the winter — the Dahlias are such beautiful garden flowers and blend so admirably with Hardy Peren- 

 nials, I include an abridged list in this catalog. A fuller list will be cheerfully mailed upon receipt of request. 



During recent years the Dahlia has rapidly grown in favor, and with good reason ; for the varieties of today are 

 such vast improvements upon the older kinds that they rival the best Chrysanthemums — which regal flower some of 

 them closely resemble. There are indeed few flowers so pure and rich in color or so graceful and decorative as the 

 finer varieties of the Dahlia. Blooming as they do in late summer and autumn (in advance of Chrysanthemums), 

 they give us flowers at a season when they are much needed. 



At the recent Dahlia Show of the American Institute, New York City, we were awarded twelve prises; includ- 

 ing four first prizes and three out of the only five certificates of merit issued, for new varieties. 



All varieties offered are well rooted plants grown by the modern pedigree system. I can, however, supply dorm- 

 ant roots of almost every variety named, if preferred, at the prices annexed. Dormant roots sent at any time desired. 

 Plants from pots any time after April 15th. 



Plants or tubers mailed at dozen rates, if preferred.
