Two Splendid, New, Climbing Roses. 



Both belong to the Disease' Proof Class of Rosa Wichuraiana Hybrids. 



In offering these splendid, new Climbing Roses we give the introducers' 

 descriptions. We add that we have seen the original plants growing and 

 blooming and that we endorse all that has been said in their praise. They 

 are certainly fine additions to this rapidly growing class of Climbing Roses, 

 they are entirely distinct from any now in commerce and all lovers of fine 

 Climbing Roses are advised by us to make a place for them in their gardens 

 as they have come to stay and will be the best in their colors for a long time 

 to come in our opinion. Offered at reduced prices this year. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. 



" A new Rose of wonderful beauty and merit. A cross between the 

 American Beauty and an unnamed seedling. Color rosy crimson, identi- 

 cal with its pollen parent, the American Beauty, and with the same 

 exquisite fragrance, a quality rarely found 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 almost 

 any situation where a climbing or pillar Rose is desired 

 Flowers three to four inches in diameter, finely formed on 

 long stems, are produced in great profusion. The foliage is 

 large, deep green and entirely free from black spot or 

 mildew. One of the first Roses to bloom in the spring, 

 comes into flower with us in the latter part of May and 

 the first week in June, and continues in full flower 

 for a month or more, with occasional bloom during 

 the growing season; the plant with us having 

 buds and flowers until nipped by frost in No 

 vember." 



Price, strong 2 year plants, -SI. 50 each. 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT. 



" A very strong climbing Rose 

 with large, thick, leathery green 

 foliage, which is proof against 

 mildew or black spot. The 

 flower is a bright, clear wild- 

 rose pink, three and one-half to 

 four inches in diameter, double, 

 borne singly and in clusters; very 

 beautiful in bud and lasts for 

 days after cutting. The plant is 

 a perfect mass of bloom in June 

 and continues to bloom occasion- 

 ally all during the season; the 

 plants in our nurseries having bud 

 and flowers until nipped by the 

 frost. Beautiful as a post or pillar 

 Rose and perfectly adapted for 

 covering arbors, walls and trellises 

 and the best hardy pink Rose we 

 know." 



Price, strong 2 year plants 

 $1.25 each. Special offer. — One 

 of each above for $2.50. 



New Chrome' Yellow Everblooming Rose 



Duchess of Wellington 



A unique variety in its coloring 

 which is very rich and effective. 

 The ground color is chrome yel- 

 low through which run veins of 

 rich orange and shadings of the 

 same running into the rich yellow, 

 Like all high colored roses it is 

 subject to variation but the rule 

 is that it intensifies rather than 

 lightens in its wonderful shadings. 

 The flowers are large, not very 

 double, petals of fine substance, 

 the blooms remaining long in per- 

 fection. Very free blooming and 

 fragrant. Price, 1st size, .?1.0() 

 each; 2d size, 75c. each. Young 

 plants, 40c. each, .S4.00 per doz.
