NEW RAMBLER 

 AND CLIMBIMG ROSES 



Albertine. A remarkably free-floweriiig rambler with nicely 

 shaped buds expanding to moderately double flowers of 

 splendid form, nearly four inches in diameter; of a pleasing 

 cameo-pink with silvery suffusion, sweetly scented; foliage 

 rich deep glossy green. 



Bonnie Prince. This new, pure white climber, which was 

 raised by Mr. Thomas Cook, a well-known amateur rosarian 

 of Boston, Mass., and presented by him to the Portland Rose 

 Society, is a strong, vigorous Rambler, free-llowering, pure 

 snow-whitq, similar in form to Paul's Scarlet Climber. This 

 will no doubt supersede all other hardy white climbing Roses. 



Emily Gray. In this we have a real j'eUow climbing Rose as 

 hardy as Dr. Van Fleet. The buds are long and pointed, of 

 splendid shape; in color a beautiful light orange-yellow, 

 changing to pale orange as they expand; they are borne on 

 stiff stems of sufficient length for cutting; these stems are of a 

 crimson-red color which together with the unusually dark 

 green, glossy, holly-like foliage, adds a charm to the flowers 

 and makes the plant, even when out of bloom, a most orna- 

 mental subject. 



Jacotte. Color shrimp-pink or light salmon-orange shaded 

 golden yellow at base; flowers fully 2^ inches in diameter, 

 <ielightfullj' scented; rich dark green glossy disea'^e-resisting 

 foliage entirely distinct from all others and a color which will 

 make it a favorite. 



New Climbing Rose, Emily Gray 



Mary Wallace. Named by the Portland Rose Society in honor of the 

 daughter of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, originated at the Maryland 

 Station of the Department of Agriculture by the late Dr. W. Van Fleet. 



The Department describes it as a pillar Rose, making a fine, strong, self- 

 supporting plant 6 to 8 feet high, with large glossy foliage, blooming with 

 great freedom in spring and bearing a considerable number of fine buds in 

 summer and fall. Flowers very large, generally exceeding 4 inches across; 

 well-formed, semi-double, of a bright clear rose-pink with salmon base to 

 the petals. 



Mermaid. Beautiful large single creamy white flowers, 3 to 4 inches in 

 diameter. A most attractive free and more or less perpetual flowering 

 variety. A splendid pillar Rose, but not dependably hardy in this 

 latitude. It requires careful winter protection. 



Papa Gouchault. We have been well pleased with our own experience 

 with this comparatively new French Rambler and have had many favor- 

 able comments from customers who planted it in 1924 and flowered it 

 this season. It is a pure crimson holding its color under all weather con- 

 ditions without fading, with healthy mildew resisting foliage; the 

 flowers are produced in large trusses of 15 to 20 flowers each; extremely 

 hardy. 



The Beacon. A distinct and effective novelty, bright fiery-red with 

 white eye in the way of American Pillar, single and semi-double, pro- 

 duced in large clusters, handsome foliage. 



Price. Any of the above new varieties, $1.00 each; the set of 8 sorts for 

 $7.50.
