 hardy Climbers that we know 

 of today. Bushes here bloom 

 five or six times each season. 

 Perfectly hardy everywhere.

 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-

entire season.

Strong rank grower. Absolutely hardy.

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 yellow. 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 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. 



The Rambler Roses 



This great family of Climbing Roses has become so 

 well and favorably known that we do not consider 

 extended description necessary. The various Rambler 

 Roses are absolutely essential to the modern Rose 

 garden. All these Rambler Roses are hardy through- 

 out the country, and our own root stock once planted 

 becomes permanent. 



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 en- 

 tirely free from mildew. Flowers perfectly double 

 and of excellent substance. 



*CRIMSON RAMBLER (The Rose of the Masses) 



— One-year plants will attain a height of 10 to 20 

 feet in a single season, and the second year they will 

 continue to produce a marvelous profusion of rich 



and glowing crimson flowers in large clusters. It 

 presents a vivid crimson mass of beauty when in full 

 bloom, during June and July. It is absolutely hardy 

 everywhere. 



YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia)— Flowers are deep 

 golden yellow and very fragrant. 



WHITE RAMBLER (Thalia)— Flowers pure white, 

 sometimes tinted with blush. 



PINK RAMBLER — Large trusses of brilliant carmine 

 flowers. Very popular. 



*FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD— A rampant climber, 

 it bears enormous clusters of brilliant crimson 

 flowers. Introduced as and sometimes called the 

 Everblooming Crimson Rambler. Blooms the 

 second and third time each season.
