Triumphal Arches of Rambler Roses 

 This picture tells its own story. Each archway requires only two Roses well 

 planted in rich soil, and 2-years' growth will "do the rest." Of course, they will 

 need some training and tying. 



Arch^vays, Arbors, Summer-Houses, Pergolas 

 and for Beautifying Boundaries, Fences, Etc. 



Certain Roses lend themselves admirably to being trained over 

 objects on which they can have support. The best kinds for such a 

 purpose, we think, are

Dorothy Perkins. Pink 21 



Ruby Queen. Red 24 



American Pillar, Single. Pink 20 



Quite as pretty an effect may be had with certain other kinds by 

 allowing them to grow over a fence, as shown on page 28. Their wil- 

 lowy vine-like branches are very graceful, the foliage is shiny and 

 almost evergreen, giving these the advantage over the Ramblers of 

 being attractive even when not in bloom and almost the entire year.

For Screen Planting and Borders 



Almost every lawn might be improved if some uncomely object 

 or portion in the rear were screened from view. The right kind of 

 Roses will do it, and give you something beautiful instead. There 

 are two ways to do it: (i) Put up a trellis and train above Roses over 

 it, or (2) if it be only a low screen, you need plant the tall, erect- 

 growing Rugosa Roses. (And if you want a luxuriant growth, dig the 

 ground deeply and give these Roses plenty of rich nourishment.)
