Beautiful Climbing 

 Roses 



There has been a remarkable revival of interest 

 in this class of Roses during the past few years. 

 and many new and rare kinds recently introduced 

 have added greatly to the interest in them. We 

 make a specialty of the Climbing Roses because 

 their remarkable merits entitle them to a place in 

 every garden. There are a few Roses that are as 

 good and none that are more satisfactory 



All these Roses are strong growers, and most 

 of them are hardy everywhere with slight protec- 

 tion. They bloom with the greatest freedom, and 

 many of them are blooming every day during the 

 growing season. Their flowers are most beautiful — 

 beyond the power of words to describe. 



It is difficult to say which of these Roses are the 

 prettiest. No illustration or description will do 

 justice to such varieties as Climbing Helen Gould, 

 Climbing Clotilde Soupert, Mrs. Robert Peary, 

 Climbing Wootton, Climbing Meteor, Climbing 

 Bridesmaid, and the Rambler Roses. Of all the 

 Roses that we offer, we find that the climbing kinds 

 are among the cheapest, best and most satisfactory 

 for general planting. 



m the spring I wrote you for my sister, Miss Maxwell 

 Ford, and ordered from you some roses, saying I wished 

 them packed for a journey of four weeks. You may be 

 interested to know, that cAthough her journey was seven 

 weeks in length, most of the roses are living! Some of them 

 blooming, others in bud. — A. Ford, Pelham, N. Y., Sept. 

 10, 1908. (Destination of these plants was Asia Minor.)

Climbing Wootton 



NEW HARDY EVERBLOOMING 

 CRIMSON CLIMBING ROSE 

 Climbing Wootton is perfectly hardy, 

 grows with good vigor, blooms con- 

 tinuously, and produces superb flow- 

 ers — perfect in beauty and 

 fragrance. It must be classed 

 with the very best of the 

 climbing kinds^ If it were fair 

 to say that any one Rose is 

 more beautiful than another, 

 we should be tempted to make 

 the statement of Climbing 

 Wootton. A strong and rampant cliniber 

 growing in one season to a height of 10 to 

 15 feet, with large and heavy insect-proof 

 foliage, it produces superbly formed flow- 

 ers in wonderful profusion. They are 

 bright and magenta-red, passing to 

 violet-crimson, richly shaded. The large, 

 full and regular flowers have thick and 

 leathery petals, most pleasingly scented. 

 The buds are always beautiful.

 size, 20c. each. 50c. for 3, postpaid. Two-.7ear-old
