Frances E. Willard or President Cleve- 

 land. (Climbing Marie Guillot.) A 

 glorious new rose. If you have never 

 seen Marie Guillot growing at its best in 

 the open ground, you cannot conceive of 

 the beauty of its large, bold, handsome 

 white flowers. It has been termed the 

 Queen of White Roses; and while there 

 are many white varieties of unquestion- 

 able excellence, there are none more 

 reliable for out-door cultivation than 

 Marie Guillot. It is one of the most rapid 

 growing and vigorous Climbing Roses 

 we have ever seen. It blooms continuous- 

 ly throughout the season, the first and 

 every 3-ear. The flowers are magnificent- 

 ly made, extra large, deep and double. 

 The buds are particularly beautiful and 

 the fragrance delightful. Price, 15c. 

 25c, 50c and $1.00 each. 



We strongly advise shipping by Ex-

 and guarantee safer delivery. If ordered 

 by mail add 20 per cent of the value or 

 plants to cover postage.
