DOROTHY PERKINS, AN EVER POPULAR FAVORITE OF PROFUSE BLOOMING POWER 



The Choicest Climbing, Trailing & Pillar Roses 



THE "Ramblers," as they are commonly called, are easily among the most useful of all plants for home- 

 and estate grounds. While in bloom, they are objects of beauty difficult to surpass. The remainder 

 of the year they serve the useful purpose of clothing unsightly fences, gracing trellises and keeping out 

 (perhaps) unwelcome intruders. 



The late Dr. Van Fleet, who was our neighbor, did much to eliminate constitutional weaknesses among 

 Rambler Roses. His new hybrids, many of which we offer in the following pages, surpass other Ramblers 

 in both size of flowers and luxuriant foliage. We call special attention to the three varieties, called The 

 Lovett Sisters, offered on page 44. They represent the highest perfection yet attained in this class of Roses. 



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

 has been given the most rigid sort of test, so that wecan recommend each one of the varieties with entire 

 confidence that they will please all who plant them. 



Price (except as noted), strong two-year field-grown plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen; $50.00 

 per 100. 



AVIATEUR BLERIOT 



Clusters of saffron-yellow flowers, with centers of 

 golden yellow. Very vigorous and consequently a 

 profuse bloomer year after year. Considered by 

 many the finest yellow climbing rose in cultivation 

 today. $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 



DOROTHY PERKINS — Clear shell - pink, 

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

 strong grower, very hardy, and a marvelously pro- 

 fuse bloomer. (See illustration of a splendid bower 

 above.) 



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

 ly perfumed flowers are produced abundantly. The 

 charming buds are large and pointed, while the 

 open blooms are large and most attractive. 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT— An exceptionally stur- 

 dy variety of strong climbing habit. The flowers 

 are borne singly or in clusters, are very double and 

 average from 3^ to 4 inches in diameter. The 

 color is unique — a bright, wild-rose pink. Equally 

 beautiful in bud or fully open. $1.00 each; $10.00 

 per dozen. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY— Of the 



same color and fragrance as the popular variety 

 whose name it bears. It is a wonderfully free bloom- 

 er and an exquisite variety. An early bloomer, 

 flowers being borne either singly or in clusters of 

 three. Of fine form and fragrance. 



ERNEST GRANDPIER— Splendid for cut flow- 

 ers. It is glistening white, and very double. A 

 thrifty grower and one of the very finest. $1.00 

 each; $10.00 per dozen.
