A cross between Mad. 

 Caroline Testout and' an 

 unknown seedling. Has the con- 

 stitution of an oak, with thick, 

 leathery, dark green foliage, 

 Blooms are produced singly and 

 4 inches in diam- 



practically immune from insects or i 



in large clusters, each bloom perfect in form and from 3 to 



eter. Color an exquisite shade of bright wild-rose pink. 



*KEYSTONE — Perfectly hardy everywhere, blooms in wonderful profusion. 

 The open flower of Keystone is perfectly double, with buds beautifully 

 formed. It is a deep lemon-yellow Rose, similar to Coquette de Lyon. The 

 fragrance is much like that of magnolia blossoms. 



CLIMBING WHITE PET — Snow-white. 



PRIDE OF WASHINGTON — Bright amaranth, shaded rose center; double 

 clusters. 



*IiADY GAY — Flowers of a delicate cherry-pink color, which fades to a soft 

 white; deep green foliage. 



GAINSBOROUGH — An extremely beautiful Rose, delicately tinted flesh, almost 

 white, and lustrous as satin. 



PRAIRIE Q,UEEN — Color bright pink, sometimes with a white stripe. Large, 

 compact and globular; very full and double. 



AVIATEUR BL.ERIOT — Saffron-yellow, center golden-yellow; full and double, 

 flowering in clusters. 



VEILiCHENBL.AU, or "Violet Blue — The Blue Rose is one of the most rampant 

 growers we have ever seen, covering a large porch in a single season. The 

 flowers are borne in loose clusters and are a delightful shade of blue — some- 

 thing entirely different from any Rose now in cultivation. 



^Climbing American 

 Beauty 



American Beauty is 

 perhaps the best 

 known, most popular 

 and impressive Rose 



in cultivation. Big, gloriously rich in fragrance, 

 the flowers are simply superb. Every Rose ex- 

 pert has longed to produce this Queen of Beauty 

 in climbing form through the delicate science of 

 hybridizing and cross breeding. This is no ordi- 

 nary Climbing Rose, but is a vigorous, rampant 

 climbing; type of the real American Beauty, with 

 its gorgeous flowers and surpassing fragrance. 

 Immense blooms, measuring 3 to 4 inches in 

 diameter, and each one is invariably produced 

 on a separate stem. The color is a glowing 

 crimson-red, the real! Ai»..erican Beauty color. 

 The foliage is magnificent and is an important 

 feature in climbing Roses, for without healthy, 

 leathery foliage any climbing Rose is a failure, 

 because it is unsightly. Climbing- American 

 Beauty has tough, beautiful, glossy green foli- 

 age, which in itself is ornamental and retains its 

 brightness during the entire season. Absolutely 

 hardy in all localities and withstands the rigid 

 winters of a temperature 10 to 25 degrees below 

 zero without protection. Equally satisfactory in 

 the warmer Southern climates. For single speci- 

 mens, for pergolas, for climbing over verandas, 

 or for any place that an ordinary vine will grow. 

 Climbing; American Beauty will thrive.
