DISEASE^PROOF NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 



The great drawback to hardy climbing roses has always been their sus- 

 ceptibility to disease, particularly that scourge known as white mildew. That 

 tendency has been eliminated in the sorts raised by crosses'on Rosa Wichuraiana. 

 This has been known and appreciated by close observers but has not been 

 fully appreciated by the majority of amateurs, hence our emphasizing it now. 

 We offer below a choice collection. 



THE " GARNET CLIMBER." 



The great fault with Crimson Rambler, viz., its susceptibility to mildew and 

 red spider is entirely absent in this beautiful variety. The flowers are produced 

 in clusters, a rich garnet crimson, delightfully fragrant, a quality said to be the 

 soul of a flower and lacking in the Crimson Rambler. The foliage is luxuriant, 

 a deep green with a highly polished surface. Those wjio have failed with Crim- 

 son Rambler may plant this with safety, those who have succeeded with it may 

 plant it as it is distinct from it, eventually we believe it will be planted ex- 

 clusively for red climbing roses. Price, field grown plants, 50c. each, $4.5(1 

 per doz. Ready Oct. 20th. 



NOTE. — We can also supply the following Disease Proof Roses: — La Fiammn 

 Paradise, Delight, Evangeline, Hiawatha and Wedding Bells. These are fully 

 described on page 139 of our annual catalogue of Everything for the Garden 

 for 1910 to which we refer purchasers. 



Price, 40c. each, or the set of seven for $2.50. Field grown plants. Ready 

 October 20th. For other Roses see preceding page.
