CLIMBING AND TRAILING ROSES. 



BLUE RAMBLER (Veilchenblau) .—In this "violet-blue" 

 Rambler we have what has so long been sought fof, namely 

 a blue rose. Of strong climbing habit and producing 

 as it does, myriads of medium sized semi-double roses 

 in large clusters it can be well described in almost a 

 word by stating it is a blue Crimson Rambler. The 

 plant, like the well known Crimson Rambler is entirely 

 hardy, the flowers the same size and make up, produced 

 in clusters of 20 to 100 roses and resemble in color 

 the rich blue of the beautiful Clematis Jackmanni. Strong 

 2 year plants, each, 50c; doz., $5.00. 



CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT.— A very hardy Rose 

 of climbing habit with clean, healthy, handsome foliage. 

 Its clusters of well formed, perfectly double roses are 

 French white with a distinct center of silvery-rose and 

 are produced the whole summer. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER. — Produces a marvelous profusion 

 of large clusters of deep crimson semi-double flowers. 

 A splendid variety for covering walls, verandas, pillars, 

 etc., being so vigorous in growth as to make shoots ot 

 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 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. 



FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD.— An innovation of very great 

 value, being a perpetual blooming Crimson Rambler. 

 Strong 2 year plants, each 50c; doz., $5.00. 



LADY GAY. — A rambler rose of American origin and a 

 most profuse bloomer, in large loose clusters. Its color 

 is soft cherry pink changing to blush white. A large 

 plant in flower with its cherry pink buds, soft white 

 flowers and rich green foliage presents a picture beyond 

 words to describe. 



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 

 flowers — two to two and one-half inches in diameter — 

 and are of the most cheerful, bright rosy-pink imagin- 

 able. 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 not so strong 

 a grower but blooms about two weeks earlier, while the 

 flowers and clusters are larger and of a brighter crimson. 



TAUSENDSCHON (Thousand Beauties). — A strong grow- 

 ing variety and covered from early June until July 

 with clusters of semi-double flowers of every shade of 

 color from white to deep pink. The roses are larger 

 than those of the average rambler and are produced in 

 bewildering profusion and variety of color. It has but 

 few thorns. 



WICHURAIANA. Memorial Rose. — A perfect trailer, 

 hugging the ground closely. It grows from ten to fifteen 

 feet in a season, and is densely furnished with dark 

 green, glossy foliage. The flowers are single, pure 

 snowy-white, with bright golden yellow stamens and 

 with the fragrance of the Banksia Rose. They are 

 borne in clusters and in such numbers as to fairly 

 envelop the plant. Succeeds everywhere, and is peculiar- 

 ly appropriate for cemetery planting. 



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 clusters. 



Price, except as noted, strong two year plants, each 

 25c; doz., $2.50. 



A set — one each of 1 \e 12 varieties — for $3.00. 



STANDARD OR TREE ROSES. 



There are but few things in horticulture so strikingly 

 beautiful and so picturesque as Tree Roses; the displays 

 of them in England and Germany when in flower, being 

 truly marvelous. Until of recent date, these standards 

 were produced only by "working" the different varieties 

 upon stems of the dog rose, which unfortunately does 

 not succeed in our American climate of bright sunshine 

 and dry atmosphere; hence in the past, Tree Roses were 

 not permanent and somewhat unsatisfactory in the 

 United States. It is with joy I am able to state we now 

 have Standard Roses, "worked" or budded upon Rosa 

 rugosa stocks and we may now have and enjoy these 

 objects of great beauty with the same measure of per- 

 fection and satisfaction as our English or German friends. 



CONRAD F. MEYER.— This grand Rugosa hybrid when 



grown as a standard is indeed superlatively beautiful; 

 surpassing all other Tree Roses. Luckily I have secured 

 a good lot of strong, handsome plants of it worked 

 upon Rosa rugosa stocks. Each, $1.25; doz., $12.50. 



BABY DOROTHY AND BABY RAMBLER.— Too much can 



scarcely be said in favor of these perpetual blooming 

 roses as standards. Not only are they beautiful in 

 June, but they continue to lend bright color and a 

 fairyland effect to the rose garden and house grounds 

 throughout the entire summer and autumn. Handsome 

 plants with fine heads. Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 



OTHER VARIETIES. 



In addition to the above, I offer an assortment of the 

 choicest varieties for growing as standards, such as 

 Dorothy Perkins, Frau Karl Deuschki, Gruss an 

 Teplitz, John Hopper, Mme. Caroline Testout, Magna 

 Charta, Mrs. Sherman-Craweord, Perle des Jardins, 

 Tausendschon, etc. They are all beautiful plants with 

 large full heads. Price, each, 80c; doz., $8.00.
