The Exquisite Bloom of 

 Birdie Bly 



One of the freest blooming hardy 

 Climbers that we know of today. 

 Bushes here bloom five or six times 

 each season. Perfectly hardy every- 

 where. Good strong grower. Foli- 

 age bright glossy green and free 

 from insects or disease. Blooms 

 full and double as per illustration, 

 and over three inches in diameter. 

 Color a bright carmine, changing 

 to a bright satiny rose. Very 

 fragrant. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. Flowers when open run four 



inches and over in diameter. The center is built 



high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The 



color is a remarkable shade of flesh -pink on the 



outer surface, deepening to a rosy -flesh in the center. 



The flowers are full and double, of delicate perfume; 



buds pointed. It very much resembles Souv. de 



Pres. Carnot in color. Strong, rapid grower. Im- 

 mune from insects and disease. Foliage deep green 



the entire season. 

 Source D'Or. A golden yellow with large double 



flowers. Strong rank grower. Absolutely hardy. 

 Minnehaha. A charming double satiny pink-flowering Rambler of a 



most pleasing color. Flowers are borne in clusters; foliage 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 become 



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 everblooming. 

 \ Aunt Harriet. In full bloom, it is amazingly fine with its masses of 



dazzling scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. The bright eff"ect 



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. 

 Alberic Barbier. Yellow, fading to cream. An abun- 

 dance of blooms is produced early, and very often it 



will again bloom in the faU. Beautiful, glossy foliage, 



unaQ"ected by disease. 

 Dr. Robert Huey. Buds and flowers medium size, 



semi-double to single in clusters of 3 or 4 on good 



stems. Can be used as a tall bush or piUar rose.

is a dark crimson v.£ great oriUlancy. Stamens and 



anthers hght yellow.
