HARDY CLIMBING ROSE, BALTI- 

 MORE BELLE. PRICE, 15 CTS. 



Climbing Roses are highly 

 valued for training over arbors, 

 trellises and verandas ; also as 

 screens for unsightly objects, 

 such as old buildings, fences, 

 walls, etc. They grow 10 to 12 

 feet high, and are entirely 

 hardy. They bloom the second 

 year and but once in the sea- 

 son, but are then loaded with 

 splendid Roses, and are among the most beautiful of all the 

 flowers. The varieties described below are the best, and suc- 

 ceed well in all sections of the country. In the South where the Ever- 

 blooming Roses are hardy, many of them can be used as climbers, 

 See Ever-blooming Climbers on opposite page.
