 BLOOMING, CLIMBING KOSES, 



Dr. W. Van Fleet 

 AND Silver Moon. 



Both were awarded a silver medal by the 



Horticultural Society of New York. 



Both are remarkably free from the diseases 



affecting the old climbing Roses. 



These varieties mark an epoch in hardy 

 imbing Roses. We advance the claim of 

 ever-blooming because they have produced 

 tlnwers in the fall as well as the first crop. 



A Candid and Unbiased Opinion : 



I think the greatest sensations in climbing 

 or rambling roses will be Dr. Van Fleet and 

 Silver Moon, neither yet in commerce. I 

 have had a trial plant of the first named for 

 five or six years, and it excels all other climb- 

 ing pink roses as much as Killarney excels 

 Hermosa. It is a Wichuraiana-President 

 Carnot cross, with shell pink blooms of perfect 

 finish, borne on long stems, the general 

 appearance suggesting a glass-grown Tea. 

 rhe flowers last so well after cutting that it is 

 ikely to be very useful in the trade. 



I have not grown Silver Moon, but admire 

 it greatly; it is a hybrid of the Cherokee rose 

 of the South, creamy white, semi-double, with 

 conspicuous golden stamens. It appears to be abso- 

 lutely hardy, strong-growing, and a profuse bloomer; 

 the size of the flowers will make it very remarkable." 

 " E.T.R." in the Florists' Exchange, June 26th, 1909. 



DR. W. VAN FLEET. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet, the parentage of which is Souvenir du 

 Pres. Carnot X Rosa Wichuraiana, bears flowers which, 

 when open, run four inches and over in diameter. The center 

 is built high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The 

 color is a remarkably delicate shade of flesh pink on the outer 

 surface, deepening to rosy flesh in the center. The flowers are 

 full and double, of delicate perfume, buds pointed, stems 

 twelve to eighteen inches, and fine for cutting. The foliage 

 is a peculiar shade of bronze green, large and glossy, with 

 spines a bright bronze red. The variety is a vigorous grower, 

 immune from mildew. (See cut.)

SILVER MOON. 



Silver Moon is the result of a most interesting cross, Rosa 

 Wichuraiana X Rosa Sinica — Cherokee rose. The flowers run 

 four and one-half inches and over in diameter, clear silvery 

 white in color, petals of great substance and beautifully cup- 

 ped. The center is filled with bright yellow stamens, a very 

 attractive feature. It is very floriferous, the plants literally 

 covering themselves with great clematis-like flowers. They 

 are borne on strong stems, twelve to eighteen inches long, 

 and are delicately fragrant. The foliage is large and abund- 

 ant, bronze-green, glossy and immune from mildew. See 

 cut, page 127.
