HARDY CLIMBING ROSES— Continued 



Birdie Blye 



This Rose is the only one of its class 

 that can be called absolutely ever- 

 blooming — it is in flower continually 

 from early spring until the snow is on 

 the ground. Bright carmine fragrant 

 flowers, and of good form, large size 

 produced in clusters. Heavy, disease 

 resistant foliage. It grows to a height 

 of about ten feet, of vigorous growth it 

 is a true climber. This Rose is excep- 

 tionally satisfactory. It produces a wealth of bloom and 

 needs no attention once it becomes established on its 

 own roots. 



Source D'Or. A golden yellow with large double "\, 

 flowers. Strong rank grower. Absolutely hardy. 



Minnehaha. A charming double satiny pink-flower- 

 ing Rambler of a most pleasing color. Flowers are 

 borne in clusters; fohage glossy green. 



Lady Godiva. A magnificent white sport from Dorothy Perkins, 

 with flowers growing in splendid clusters and of remarkably 

 vigorous growth and handsome foliage. Dark green foliage and 

 free from ravages of insects or disease. 



Goldfinch. A new, hardy climbing Rose which will shortly be- 

 come one of the leaders. It is of the Rambler type and bears a 

 wondrous profusion of lemon-yellow, semi-double flowers in large 

 trusses. The buds are beautiful deep yeUow. Hardy and ever- 

 blooming. 



Aunt Harriet. In fuU bloom, it is amazingly fine with its masses 

 of dazzling scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. The 

 bright effect is intensified by the pure white centers and brilliant 

 golden anthers which shine out when the flowers are fully open. 

 Awarded Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society. 



American Pillar. Of extremely vigorous habit of growth, the 

 bushes being clothed in lively green from earliest spring until late 

 in the fall. The flowers are produced in profusion, 

 fairly covering the bush, color bright pijik. In the fall, 

 the red berries, which are highly-ornamental. 



Silver Moon. Blooms very large, four or more inches in 

 diameter, pure white in color and of good substance, 

 foiming a clematis-Hke flower. The large bunch of yeUow 

 stamens in the center makes it very attractive. 



Dorothy Perkins 



The Brilliant Rambler Rose. Flowers are borne in 

 large clusters, are very double, with prettily crinkled 

 petals; renaarkably pretty pointed buds, beautiful clear 

 sheU-pink in color, lasting a long time without fading. 

 The bush is perfectly hardy in afl locaHties, a rapid and 

 thrifty grower, bearing its flowers in great clusters. 

 Philadelphia Crimson Rambler. This now famous 

 variety differs from the old Crimson Rambler in having 

 brighter, deeper and more intense crimson color. 

 Earlier than the Crimson .Rambler and entirely free 

 from mildew. Flowers perfectly double and of excellent 

 substance. 

 Crimson Rambler (The Rose of the Masses). One- 

 year plants wiU attain a height of 10 to 20 feet in a 

 single season, and the second year they wiU continue to

 crimson flowers in large clusters. It presents a vivid 

 crimson mass of beauty when in fuU bloom, during June 

 and July. It is absolutely hardy everywhere.

New and distinct Rambler of remarkable merit. A 

 remarkable grower, free from insects and producing a 

 great quantity of blooms of crimson-maroon with tips of 

 the petals scarlet. Flowers fuU and double and thirty 

 or forty produced on a stem. The undesirable features 

 of the Crimson Rambler, the unsightly foliage, is eliminated 

 in this Rose by the infusion of Wichuraiana blood.

yeUow and very fragrant. 

 White Rambler (Thalia). Flowers pure white, some- 

 times tinted with blush. 

 Flower of Fairfield. A rampant climber, it bears 

 enormous clusters of brilliant crimson flowers. Intro- 

 duced as and sometimes called the Everblooming Crim-

 season. 

 Veilchen Blau or Violet Blue. The Blue Rose is one 

 of the most rampant growers we have ever seen, covering 

 a large porch in a single season. The flowers are borne 

 in loose clusters and are a delightful shade of blue-^ 

 something entirely different from any Rose now in 

 cultivation.
