Hardy Climbing Roses. 



Prairie Queen. 



Climbing Roses are 

 highly 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 

 entirely 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 

 flowering plants. The varieties de- 

 scribed below are the best, and suc- 

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

 the Ever-Blooming Roses are hardy, many of them can be used 

 as Climbers.

New English Climbing Rose-Waltham Queen. 



This splendid NEW EVER-BLOOMING CLIMBING ROSE is introduced from England, where it 

 has given great satisfaction. It is believed to be a valuable acquisition, particularly for the South and Pa- 

 cific Coast, and, though not entirely hardy in the North, will probably do well in many situations in the 

 Middle States. It is a strong grower and continuous bloomer; the flowers are large, full and sweet ; color- 

 rich scarlety crimson, very beautiful and a profuse bloomer. 



Price, 25 cents ; or, with set of six Ever- Blooming Climbers named on opposite page, 7 for $1.1$.
