Chaplin's Pink Climber 



Unquestionably the most important acquisition in climbing Roses since the introduction of Dr. "Van Fleet 

 and Paul's Scarlet Climber, which are universally recognized as the two most popular climbing Roses and to 

 which Chaplin's Pink Climber will prove an equally valuable companion. 



This striking novelty originated at Waltham Cross, England, in the same nursery in which Paul's Scarlet 

 Climber was raised. It is a cross between Paul's Climber and American Pillar, of strong vigorous growth, 

 perfectly hardy, with large glossy dark green foliage, producing its large flowers, similar in size and form to 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, very profusely in strong trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers each, but in color it is a rich 

 lively pink. 



At the Spring Show of the National Rose Society of England in 192.S, it was the outstanding feature 

 among' the new Roses and was awarded the Society's Gold Medal. Also received the English Royal Horticul- 

 tural Society's Award of Merit. Strong plants, iSl.50 each.

 flowers which are borne in clusters of up to 20 flow- 

 ers on stems long enough for cutting. .1»50.00 per 100. 



I.e Reve. A yellow pillar Rose of which Dr. J. Horace 

 McParland, editor of the American Rose Annual, 

 under date of May 31, 1927, said: "Le Reve is per- 

 fectly beautiful today, a yellow Rose requiring nii 

 excuse for fading, for it is yellow and stays yel- 

 low. The foliage is good, the plant is good lookint; 

 and the fragrance to me is delightful." $50.00 per 100.

 cepting' in color, which is a clear geranium-pink 

 without magenta shadings. Very free and early. 

 $50.00 per 100. 



Paul's Lemon Pillar. A very beautiful and entirely 

 distinct large double, sulphur-yellow, perfectly 

 formed flower, that has proven hardy in this lati-

 Rose. ."(ioO.OO per 100. 



Phyllis Bide. The feature of this variety is that it 

 blooms continuously throughout the summer and fall, 

 and while its flowers are small they are of exquisite 

 form in the bud opening with gracefully reflexed 

 petals and are produced in long, loose sprays: in color 

 a pale gold at base, flushed and shaded pretty rosy- 

 carmine towards the edges. ilv40.00 per 100. 



Solarium. In single-flowered Ramblers this is a gem. 

 It is of the same type as Hiawatha on which it is 

 a decided improvement, the flowers being larger, 

 more freely produced and of more brilliant coloring, 

 an intensely rich crimson-scarlet. !f!50.00 per 100. 



.Star of Per.sia. A brilliant new Rose with flowers on 

 the style of the old Harison's Yellow, semi-double, 

 bright yellow and about 3 inches across. A striking 

 variety, bursting into bloom early in June. It does 

 not fade and the flower trusses last several weeks.
