HARDY CLIMBING ROSE, BALTI- 

 MORE BELLE. PRICE, 15 CTS. 



Climbing Roses are highljr 

 valued for training over arbors, 

 trellises and verandas ; also as^ 

 screens for unsightly objects, 

 such as old buildings, fences,, 

 walls, etc. They grow ten to 

 .twelve feet high, and are en- 

 tirely hardy. They bloom the 

 second year and but once in 

 the season, 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 

 succeed well in all sections of the country. In the South, where the- 

 Ever-blooming Roses are hardy, many of them can be used as climb- 

 ers. See Ever-blooming Climbers on opposite page.

 strong grower and continuous bloomer ; the flowers are large, full' 

 and sweet; color, rich scarlety crimson, very beautiful and a profuse
