DOROTHY PERKINS.— A charming and very 

 valuable 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. (See Cut.) 



DOROTHY PERKINS 



DR. W. VAN FLEET.— A hybrid of Wichuraiana 

 and Souv. de Pres. Carnot, produced by Dr. Van 

 Fleet, and is the finest Rose by far of all the 

 hardy climbers so far introduced. In fact, the 

 superb flowers are produced on long stems and 

 equal in size and beauty fine roses grown under 

 glass. A strong grower with abundant, beautiful 

 foliage and extremely hardy. Flowers when open 

 run four inches and over in diameter. The center 

 is built high, petals beautifully undulated and 

 cupped. The color is a remarkably delicate shade 

 of flesh pink on the surface, deepening to rosy 

 flesh in the center. The flowers are full and 

 double, delicately perfumed; buds pointed. (See 

 Cut.) Strong, two years, each, 30c.: dozen, §3.00. 

 From 5 inch pots, each, 40c.; dozen, S4.00.

EXCELSA (Red Dorothy Perkins).— Described 

 as a brilliant Crimson Rambler with Wichuraiana 



haljit and foliage. Can greater praise be readily 

 said? It has the vigor and profuse bloom of 

 the Dorothy Perkins and its double flowers of 

 good size are borne in clusters of thirty to forty 

 each. Two year field plants, each, SOc; dozen, 

 $3.00. From 5 inch pots, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 



FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD.— A sport of the well- 

 known Crimson Rambler and diflers from it but 

 little except that its flowers last longer and it 

 blooms sparingly during the entire summer and 

 autumn. 



HIAWATHA. — A strong growing variety with 

 lovely single flowers. An authority on roses says 

 of it: "There is no other rose so brilliant as 

 Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its 

 flowers are about 1^/^ inches across and produced 

 in long pendulous sprays, frequently with from 

 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In color it is a 

 brilliant ruby-carmine with a clear white eye and 

 a mass of golden stamens." 



LADY GAY. — Similar in every way to the popu- 

 lar Dorothy Perkins. A grand Rose. 



SILVER MOON 



SILVER MOON. — An unique and extremely in- 

 teresting Rose. It is a hybrid of the Cherokee 

 Rose of the South and the Wichuraiana. Its 

 buds are exquisite in form and color, and the 

 sf-mi-double flowers are very pretty and decora- 

 tive; opening a soft nankeen yellow and quickly 

 changing to pure silvery white, are four inchas 

 or more in diameter and delight fuly perfumed. 

 It is a giant in growth, with abundant large, 

 glossy, deep green leaves, which are always free 

 from mildew and other diseases. A most profuse 

 bloomer, the plants in June being literally cov- 

 ered with its Roses of odd, fantastic forms. (See 

 Cut.) Strong two years old. each, 30c.; dozen, 

 $3.00. From 5 inch pots, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00.
