CLIMBING AND TRAILING ROSES 



There have appeared in recent years so many remarkably fine Climbing Roses, one is confused 

 and bewildered in attempting to properly describe or to give them due credit. I can recommend 

 every variety offered with a feeling of confidence that all who plant them will be pleased when they 

 flower. 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— In a class by itself and 

 very valuable. So fine in habit and foliage it is 

 well worth growing as a climber for covering 

 summer houses, etc. — yet its wealth of bloom is 

 truly wonderful. Correctly described as "a, single 

 flowering rose with blossoms three inches across 

 borne in immense clusters. Color, lovely apple 

 blossom pink with bright golden stamens; fol- 

 lowed in autumn with red hips." It exceeds in 

 strong growth even the Crimson Rambler and 

 Dorothy Perkins — in fact, all other varieties. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY.— An Amer- 

 ican Rose produced by successive crosses of Amer- 

 ican Beauty, Wichuraiana and a Tea Rose. De- 

 scribed as "Same color, size and fragrance as 

 American Beauty, with addition of climbing habit. 

 One plant of this new Rose will produce twenty 

 times as many flowers in June as the old Amer- 

 ican Beauty, besides blooming occasionally dur- 

 ing the summer. Perfectly hardy." Large plants 

 from field or 5 inch pots, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 



CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT.— The best 

 of all the continuous blooming climbing Roses I 

 have, as yet, fully tested. Its large, well-formed 

 flowers are borne in loose clusters, are perfectly 

 double and are French white with a distinct cen- 

 ter of silvery rose. Blooms all summer. Very 

 hardy. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER.— Produces a profusion 

 of large clusters of deep crimson semi-double flow- 

 ers. A splendid variety for covering walls, ve- 

 randas, pillars, etc., being so vigorous in growth 

 as to make shoots of from eight to ten feet dur- 

 ing the season; or it may be pegged down or 

 grown in bush form with rich and striking effect.. 

 Foliage subject to mildew. 



Sagadahoc Co., Maine, Nov. 20, 1913. 

 Your goods arrived in splendid order and were 

 most satisfactory. I wish you would send me 

 three catalogs, some of my neighbors want to bor- 

 row mine. Your stock seems remarkable to me., 

 (Mrs.) Andrew S» Merrill..
