New Chrome- Yellow Ever-blooming Rose 



Duchess of Wellington. 



A unique variety in its coloring 

 which is very rich and effective. 

 The ground color is chrome yel- 

 low through which run veins of 

 rich orange and shadings of the 

 same running into the rich yellow, 

 Like all high colored roses it is 

 subject to variation but the rule 

 is that it intensifies rather than 

 lightens in its wonderful shadings. 

 The flowers are large, not very 

 double, petals of fine substance, 

 the blooms remaining long in per- 

 fection. Very free blooming an 

 fragrant. Price, strong 2 year 

 plants, $1.50 each. Young plants, 

 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



Two Splendid, New, Climbing Roses. 



Both belong to the Disease' Proof Class of Rosa Wichuraiana Hybrids. 



In offering these splendid new. Climbing Roses we give the introducers' 

 descriptions. We add that we have seen the original plants growing and 

 blooming and that we endorse all that has been said in their praise. They 

 are certainly fine additions to this rapidly growing class of Climbing Roses, 

 they are entirely distinct from any now in commerce and all lovers of fine 

 Climbing Roses are advised by us to make a place for them in their gardens 

 as they have come to stay and will be the best in their colors for a long time 

 to come in our opinion. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. 



" A new Rose of wonderful beauty and merit. A cross between the 

 American Beauty and an unnamed seedling. Color rosy crimson, 

 identical with its pollen parent, the American Beauty, and with the 

 same exquisite fragrance, a quality rarely found in climbing Roses. 

 Of strong habit of growth, making shoots of from ten to fifteen 

 feet in one season, hardy as an oak. Will thrive and bloom 

 in almost any situation where a climbing or pillar Rose is 

 desired. Flowers three to four inches in diameter, finely 

 formed on long stems, are produced in great profusion 

 The foliage is large, deep green and entirely free from 

 black spot or mildew. One of the first Roses to 

 bloom in the spring, comes into flower with us in the 

 latter part of May and the first week in June, and 

 continues in full flower for a month or more, 

 with occasional bloom during the growing 

 season; the plant w T ith us having buds and 

 flowers until nipped by frost in No 

 vember." 



Price, strong 2 year plants, $2.50 each. 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT. 



" A very strong climbing \ 



Rose with large, thick, leathery 

 green foliage, which is proof 

 against mildew or black spot. 

 The flower is a bright, clear wild- 

 rose pink, three and one-half to 

 four inches in diameter, double, 

 borne singly and in clusters; very 

 beautiful in bud and lasts for 

 days after cutting. The plant is a 

 perfect mass of bloom in June and 

 continues to bloom occasionally 

 all during the season; the plants 

 in our nurseries having buds and 

 flowers until nipped by the frost. 

 Beautiful as a post or pillar Rose 

 and perfectly adapted for covering 

 arbors, walls and trellises and the 

 best hardy pink Rose we know."

 each. Special offer. — One of each 

 above for S3. 50.
