The lavish profusion of bloom, literally hundreds of dusters on each plant, their beautiful colors and exquisite fragrance render them un- 

 equaled for covering houses, arbors, pergolas, fences and boundary walls. They are easily grown in large pot« or tubs and make splendid 

 ornaments for porches or lawns when trained to form large columnar plants. Also very useful for training over large rocks or covering rough 

 banks. 



Primrose Climber 



This is a beautiful and distinct variety 

 that fills the "long felt want" for a "Yellow 

 Rambler." It is a strong grower and hardy 

 under climatic conditions that Dr. Van 

 Fleet and similar varieties will stand. The 

 color a glowing shade of light primrose yellow 

 maintained until the petals drop. Its 

 flowers are about 2 )^ inches in diameter and 

 are generally borne in trusses of from 2 to 5 

 flowers on long stems. 



Climbing American Beauty Chaplins Pink Climber 



The rosy crimson flowers, 3 to 4 inches 

 in diameter, are identical with its pollen 

 parent, the American Beauty, and have the 

 same exquisite fragrance, a qualitv rare in 

 climbing roses. Of strong habit of growth, 

 making shoots of from ten to fifteen feet in 

 one season, hardy as an oak. Will thrive 

 and bloom in any situation where a climb-

THE FIRST PATENTED ROSE 



The First Patent ever granted to a Plant was obtained for 



The New Dawn A New Hardy Climbing Rose 



An Everblooming Dr. W. Van Fleet. {Shown in Colors on the Back Cover.) 



When we introduced the Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose in 1910 it quickly became popu- 

 lar and is today considered one of the best Hardy Climbing Roses. 



The New Dawn is a sport from the Dr. W. Van Fleet. The color is a delicate shade 

 of flesh pink on the outer surface deepening to rosy flesh in the center like the Dr. W. 

 Van Fleet. It is also identical with its parent in size and formation of its flowers and 

 habit of growth. 



In addition it blooms continuously through the summer and fall months. The 

 originators have been granted » patent under the new Patent Laws to control its 

 propagation. Our arrangement is that no license to reproduce this variety is granted.
