VV^EST Gro^^e, 





, Climbing Killarney 



I Five years ago we offered for the first time a climbing 

 type of the famous pink Rose, Killarney, the most cele- 

 brated Hybrid Tea of its color yet introduced. Repeated 

 trials both in our grounds and by our friends who pur- 

 chased this marvelous Rose, and who have written very 

 enthusiastic letters about it, confirm the statements we made 

 in regard to it. The beautiful flowers of this wonderful 

 Rose are identical with the parent variety, but the bush is of 

 the climbing habit of growth, placing it at once in a class 

 by itself, because there is no other climbing variety of its 

 color. It is a strong, rapid grower, growing to perfection in 

 the open ground, throwing up shoots 10 to 15 feet high in a 

 single season, and is entirely hardy. It blooms continuously 

 throughout the season, and the flowers are magnificent be- 

 yond description, immense, long, pointed buds with massive 

 petals, opening into flowers of enormous size; color deep 

 pink, brig:ht and sparkling, an exquisite shade, deliciously 

 fragrant; in fact, one of the greatest new Roses we ever 

 offered. Our stock is limited, and orders will be filled in 

 strict rotation. Early orders are therefore advisable, even 

 if you do not wish to plant at once. Wq will carefully set 

 aside the plants, delivering them at any time desired. 



CLIMBING WOOTTON_ A strong and rampant climber, 

 growing in one season to a height of 10 to 15 feet, with 

 large and heavy insect-proof foliage, it produces superbly 

 formed flowers in wonderful profusion. They are bright 

 and magenta-red, passing to violet-crimson, richly shaded. 



CLIMBING LA FRANCE _a sport from La France with a 

 climbing habit of growth. A strong, rapid grower, produc- 

 ing large, delicate, silvery pink flowers in great abundance. 



NEW CLIMBING CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER _Thi.^ new, 

 magnificent, hardy climbing Rose combines the wonderful 

 everblooming qualities of the famous Crimson Baby Ram- 

 bler Rose with a climbing habit which makes it one of the 

 best of all Roses for porch or pergola adornment. The 

 flowers are brilliant crimson and are borne in large clus- 

 ters, all summer through, creating at all times a most 

 beautiful effect. The plant is extra strong in growth, abso- 

 lutely hardy and clothed with handsome foliage, which is 

 not subject to attacks of insects or disease. 



CLIMBING HELEN GOULD _Pe.iiv a Climbing Tea Rose, 

 with the same magnificent, deep and double flowers, the 

 same freedom of bloom as shown in the bush Rose, Helen 

 Gould or Red Maman Cochet. The growth is sturdy, the 

 foliage grand, the flowers warm, rosy crimson, sometimes 

 beautifully striped, flamed and shaded in bright carmine 

 over pale rose. 



VEILCHENBLAU, or VIOLET BLUE (Blue Rose) _Thp 

 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 of a de- 

 lightful shade of blue — something entirely different from 

 any Rose in cultivation. 



CLIMBING PAPA GONTIER _Thi. new Climber has all 

 the superior merits of its parent and bearing in the great- 

 est profusion all summer the same handsome, deep crim- 

 son flowers. The bush is perfectly hardy and a remarka- 

 bly rapid grower.

 every way. It is most vigorous, and the small plants will 

 attain a height of 15 to 25 feet in a single season, branch- 

 ing extensively. Climbing Clotilde Soupert produces 

 cluster after cluster of the most finely formed flowers. 

 large, round, perfectly double, with beautiful imbricated 

 petals, the odor of which is delightful. The ivory-white 

 color, shading toward the center to silvery rose, gives 

 an effect that is indescribably beautiful. Climbing Clo- 

 tilde is thoroughly hardy everywhere and needs no pet- 

 ting.
