 BLOOMING, CLIMBING ROSES, 



Dr. W. Van Fleet 

 and Silver Moon. 



Both were awarded a silver medal by the 



Horticultural Society of New York. 



Both are remarkably free from the diseases 



affecting the old climbing Roses. 



These varieties mark an epoch in hardy 



imbing Roses. We advance the claim of 



ever-blooming because they have produced 



flowers in the fall as well as the first crop. 



A Candid and Unbiased Opinion: 



" I think the greatest sensations in climbing 

 or rambling roses will be Dr. Van Fleet and 

 Silver Moon, neither yet in commerce. 1 

 have had a trial plant of the first named for 

 five or six years, and it excels all other climb- 

 ing pink roses as much as Killarney excels 

 Hermosa. It is a Wichuraiana-President 

 Carnot cross, with shell pink blooms of perfect 

 finish, borne on long stems, the general 

 appearance suggesting a glass-grown Tea. 

 The flowers last so well after cutting that it is 

 likely to be very useful in the trade. 



I have not grown Silver Moon, but admire 

 it greatly; it is a hybrid of the Cherokee rose 

 of the South, creamy white, semi-double, with 

 conspicuous golden stamens. It appears tobe absolute- 

 ly hardy, strong-growing, and a profuse bloomer; the 

 size of the flowers will make it very remarkable." 

 "E. T.R." in the Florists' Exchange, June 26//;, 1909. 



DR. W. VAN FLEET. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet, the parentage of which is Souvenir du 

 res. Carnot X Rosa Wichuraiana, bears flowers which, 

 when open, run four inches and over in diameter. The center 

 is built high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The 

 color is a remarkably delicate shade of flesh pink on the outer 

 surface, deepening to rosy flesh in the center. The flowers are 

 full and double, of delicate perfume, buds pointed, stems 

 twelve to eighteen inches, and fine for cutting. The foliage 

 is a peculiar shade of bronze green, large and glossy, with 

 spines a bright bronze red. The variety is a vigorous grower, 

 immune fron mildew. (See cut.)

SILVER MOON. 



Silver Moon is the result of a most interesting cross, Rosa 

 WichuraianeX Rosa Sinica — Cherokee rose. The flowers 

 run four and one-half inches and over in diameter, clear 

 silvery white in color, petals of great substance and beauti- 

 fully cupped. The center is filled with bright yellow sta- 

 mens, a very attractive feature. It is very floriferous, the 

 plants literally covering themselves with great clematis- 

 like flowers. They are borne on strong stems, twelve to 

 eighteen inches long, and are delicately fragrant. The 

 foliage is large and abundant, bronze-green, glossy and im- 

 mune from mildew. See cut, page 131.
