Mme. Gregoire Staechelin 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin has inherited the best qualities of 

 both of its popular parents, Frau Karl Druschki and Chateau 

 de Clos Vougeot. The long-pointed buds are crimson at first as 

 the sepals divide, then the firm outer petals show splashes of 

 carmine as the fiower opens, with an iridescent pearl-pink inside 

 and it is richly perfumed. 



It grows 12 feet or more and has large, disease-resistant foliage. 

 The main stem of the plant shoots upright and the long bloom- 

 spurs stand out 18 inches at right angles, with exquisite, full, 

 fragrant blooms. These blooms come early in June and last over 

 a long period. 



Strong two-year-old plants, ,$50.00 per 100. 



Chaplin's Pink Climber 



This striking novelty originated in the same nursery in which 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber was raised. It is a cross between Paul's 

 Scarlet and American Pillar, of strong growth, perfectly hardy, 

 producing its large flowers, similar in size and form to Paul's 

 Scarlet, profusely in strong trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers each, 

 but in color a rich lively pink. 



At the Spring Show of the National Rose Society of England in 

 1928, it was the outstanding feature among the New Roses and 

 was awarded the Society's Gold Medal.

The New^ Climbing Polyantha Rose 

 Climbing Lafayette or Auguste Kordes 



A sport of the popular Bedding Polyantha Rose Lafayette, pos- 

 sessing all of the good characteristics of that desirable variety, 

 but of a strong, vigorous, climbing habit, producing its good-sized, 

 very attractive, bright crimson scarlet flowers very freely in large 

 trusses. The plants are covered with bloom from top to bottom 

 in early summer, with some intermittent periods of bloom during 

 the late summer and fall.

New Climbing Rose Thelma 



Similar in habit of growth to Paul's Scarlet Climber which is one of its 

 parents. The flowers are large for this type of Rose, being 3 inches in 

 diameter, usually with three rows of petals, produced in clusters of from 

 3 to 18 blooms, which last in good condition a long time. Color a delicate 

 coral pink suffused with carmine. A Rose of special merit. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, $30.0O per 100. 



Rambler Roses for Early Forcing 



3IaTie Gouchault. A variety which has met with favor with all growers 

 of Easter plants. 



In general appearance and habit of growth and formation of flowers 

 it resembles Dorothy Perkins, but more brilliant in color, being a clear 

 bright geranium pink without the least trace of magenta and as easy to 

 flower for an early Easter as the variety Eugene Jacquet which it greatly 

 surpasses in color. Strong Eastern field-grown plants suitable for early 

 forcing. $50.00 per 100. 



Bonfire. As its name implies this is a brilliant red, really a rich eherry 

 crimson. There is a place for a good red Rose for early forcing that w^ill 

 take the place of Excelsa which is not satisfactory for early work and 

 which is supplied in this new red. Strong Eastern field-grown plants 

 suitable for forcing. .$50.0O per 100. 



Hardy Climbins Rose, Primrose 



Hybrid-Musk Roses 



Perpetual flowering Roses of shrub-like habit, valu- 

 able for planting in the shrubbery, being particularly 

 attractive in the fall. 



Cornelia. Always in bloom, with fragrant rosette 

 shaped flowers about 3 inches in diameter, borne in 

 clusters. Color strawberry flushed yellow. 

 Penelope. Semi-double, shell pink flowers shaded saf- 

 fron, borne in branched clusters. Growth vigorous, 

 nearly always in bloom. 

 Either of above varieties $35.00 per 100. 



Trailing Hybrid-Rugosa Rose 

 Max Graf 



Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will 

 be found most valuable as a ground cover for which 

 purpose it is far superior to any of the Wichuraiana 

 varieties. The foliage resembles Rosa Rugosa, is re- 

 tained very late in the season, it is practically im- 

 mune to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. 

 Its flowers are large, single, bright pink with prettily 

 crimped petals. For planting on a steep bank or for 

 trailing over a stone wall, it has no equal. 



Strong 2-year-old budded plants, .$35.00 per 100. 



Strong 1 year old grafted plants, .$25.00 per 100.
