Hardy Climbing Roses 



There is not a garden where at least several climbing 

 roses could not be used to advantage such as to cover an 

 arbor, frame an entrance, or to cover a fence or wall. The 

 varieties oft'ered are the most popular and they are hardy, 

 free-flowering, and bear a prodigious quantity of large, 

 richly colored blooms. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. Technically pink, but what a pink! 

 A beautiful pale shade, of flesh pink that you know 

 must have some yellow in it, but which defies percep- 

 tion. Long stemmed, long- budded, the equal of many a 

 Hybrid Tea Rose. $1.25 each.

 cutting. $1.25 each.

Paul's Scarlet Climber. The best known of all climbing 

 Roses. The plants are completely covered with large
