EVERBLOOMING 



CLIMBING ROSES 



Climbing Clothilde Soupert. White. In this 

 climbing variety we have the vigorous consti- 

 tution of Clothilde Soupert combined with the 

 same wonderful freedom of bloom and extreme 

 hardiness. This new variety, in a single sea- 

 son, even in small plants, will grow 15 to 25 

 feet, producing cluster after cluster of the 

 finest-formed flowers. In form they are dis- 

 tinct, large, round: and flat, with beautifully 

 imbricated petals; perfectly full and double, 

 and deliciously sweet. The color effect is 

 magnificent — ivory-white, shading toward the 

 center to silvery rose. Throughout the entire 

 growing season it is literally loaded down with 

 its large, handsome flowers. Price, strong 

 mailing size, 3-inch pots, 10 cts. ; heavy 2-year 

 plants, 30 cts. 



Climbing Crimson Baby Rambler. A 

 magnificent hardy, everblooming Rose. This 

 variety, introduced only recently, combines the 

 wonderful everblooming qualities of the Crim- 

 son Baby Rambler with the climbing habit of 

 the true Crimson Rambler. This makes It 

 invaluable for use wherever a climbing Rose 

 may be employed. Planted with taller-growing 

 kinds, it prolongs their blooming season and 

 removes their bareness of foliage near the 

 ground. The flowers, of brilliant crimson, are 

 borne in clusters throughout the summer; the 

 foliage is glossy and thick, resisting the attack 

 of insect enemies. My stock of tbis great 

 variety is limited. Price, mailing size plants, 

 10 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 30 cts. 



Climbing Killarney. Pink. An exact 

 counterpart of Killarney, in every respect, 

 except that it is a vigorous climber. This will 

 prove a great garden Rose. Price, 3-inch pots, 

 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 



Climbing Meteor, Velvety red. Grand 

 new Rose, the acme of all red climbing Roses. 

 It is a free, persistent bloomer, and will make a 

 growth from 10 to 15 feet in a season. We do 

 not hesitate to place it at the head of the list 

 of all Roses for summer blooming, as it will 

 make a strong growth, and is literally loaded 

 with flowers all the time. Price, strong plants, 

 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; fine 2-year plants, 40 cts. 



Climbing Paul Neyron. Pink. One of the 

 very best of all climbing Roses. An extremely 

 free and continuous bloomer, of very large size 

 and fine pink color. Much more like La France 

 than Paul Neyron in color, shape and blooming 

 qualities. Would have been better named 

 "Climbing La France." Price, strong mailing 

 size plants, 15 cts.; heavy 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



Climbing Jules Graveraux. This is one of 

 the most valuable everblooming climbers ever 

 introduced. The blooms are immense in size, 

 being as large or larger than any other rose, 

 even exceeding J. B. Clarke, they are perfectly 

 double, white tinged with blush pink with a 

 yellow base, in freedom of bloom it is superior 

 to Mrs. Peary or Climbing Meteor, and should 

 easily be first choice among all climbing Roses. 

 Price, 1-year plants, 20 cts.; strong 2-year 

 plants, 40 cts.; extra 3-year plants, 60 cts. 



Empress of China. (The Apple-Blossom 

 Rose). — Red. This is a hardy climber that 

 possesses great merit. It is a strong, rampant 

 grower, and a very free bloomer. Flowers of 

 good size from pointed buds; soft red, turning 

 lighter as it opens. It blooms from May to 

 December in the open ground. Introduced from 

 China. Price, strong mailing size, 10 cts.; 

 2-year plants, 25 cts. 



Gloire de Dijon. Amber. This magnificent 

 Rose is always scarce and difficult to obtain true. 

 The flowers are large, perfectly double and 

 delightfully tea-scented; color rich, creamy 



Frau Karl Druschki. A Great White Rose; deserves its popularity. 



amber, tinted with blush. One of the most 

 beautiful Roses. Price, strong mailing-size 

 plants, 15 cts. ; 2-year plants. 40 cts. 



Marechal Niel. Yellow. The world- 

 renowned Rose. A beautiful, deep sulphur- 

 yellow; very full, large and exceedingly fragrant. 

 It has a climbing habit, and in a few years will 

 attain a large size, yielding thousands of beau- 

 tiful golden yellow flowers. Especially desirable 

 in the South. Price, mailing size, from 3-inch 

 pots, 15 cts.; fine 2-year plants that made 4 to 

 6 feet of growth last summer, 35 cts. 



Mary Washington. White. Flowers are 

 of medium size, pure white, sweet, perfectly 

 double to the center, and borne in endless num- 

 bers in large clusters all summer. Vigorous and 

 rapid grower. One plant of Mary Washington 

 will produce more flowers and buds than a 

 dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance is tinged 

 with the old-fashioned musky flavor so much 

 admired in olden times. My stock is propagated 

 direct from the old plant at Mount Vernon, 

 which is famous as having been planted by 

 George Washington and named in honor of hia 

 mother. It is still a strong, vigorous bush, 

 blooming profusely and demonstrating that the 

 soil and climate of Fairfax are especially 

 adapted to Rose-growing. Price, strong mail- 

 ing size, from 3-inch pots, 10 cts. ; fine 2-year 

 plants, 30 cts. 



Mrs. Robert Peary. (Climbing Kaiserin).. 

 White. This is, without doubt, the grandest of 

 all white climbing Roses. It is the first and 

 only white hardy, everblooming climbing Rose, 

 and, as such, fills a demand that has never be- 

 fore been supplied. Small plants bloom con- 

 tinually the first season, just as the parent 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, does. The flowers 

 are extra large, full, deep and double, and are 

 produced on long, stiff stems like a forcing or 

 cut-flower Rose. The buds are long and pointed, 

 exquisitely modeled and gracefully finished. 

 Both in bud and flower it is truly beautiful. Al- 

 ways a wonderfully vigorous grower and very 

 hardy. Price, strong mailing-size plants, 10 

 cts.; fine 2-year plants, 40 cts.; extra-fine 3- 

 year plants, 50 cts. 



Reve D'or (Golden Chain, or Climbing 

 Safrano). Yellow. A beautiful pillar Rose. 

 Color orange-yellow or deep saffron; good size, 

 full and sweet. I have a fine stock of this 

 Rose, and recommend it highly. Price, strong 

 mailing size, from 3-inch pots, 10 cts. ; fije 2- 

 year plants, 35 cts. 



White Microphylla. Flowers purest white, 

 double, sweet. Price, mailing size, 10 cts. ; 

 strong 2-year plants, 30 cts.

RAMBLER ROSES 



While these do not bloom continuously, 

 are covered during their blooming season with 

 a wealth of flowers of various shades. The sight 

 of a large Rambler Rose in full bloom is one 

 long to be remembered — a wealth of color 

 shown by no other class of plant. 



Philadelphia Crimson Rambler. This 



splendid new variety differs from the old 

 Crimson Rambler in having a brighter, deeper 

 and more intense color, and flowers that are 

 perfectly double to the center; very durable 

 and of excellent substance. It is a very profuse 

 bloomer and a good, healthy grower, producing 

 splendid clusters of perfectly double and in- 

 tensely brilliant flowers, absolutely free from 

 the faded appearance so frequently seen in 

 flowers of the ordinary Crimson Rambler. Price, 

 strong plants, 10 cts.; 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; 

 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



Crimson Rambler. Often grows S to 10 

 feet in a season. Magnificent in bush form, and 

 for covering buildings, trellises, etc. Brightest 

 crimson, undimmed to the end. The flowers are 

 produced in great pyramidal panicles or trusses 

 of thirty to forty blooms. Price, from 3-inch 

 pots, 10 cts. ; 2-year plants, 35 cts. ; 3-year 

 plants, heavy. GO cts. 



Dorothy Perkins. The flowers are clear 

 shell-pink, with lovely, oddly wrinkled petals: 

 buds pointed, well formed, borne in great 

 clusters. A fine climber and a profuse bloomer: 

 flowers very durable and the clusters are good 

 for cutting. Price, strong mailing size, from 

 3-inch pots. 10 cts. ; 2-year plants, fine, 40 

 cts. ; extra 3-year plants, 50 cts. 



Tausendschon. Truly called "Thousand 



Beauties." One of the really reliable novelties. 

 It bears its flowers in immense clusters; in color a 

 soft pink when first opening, changing to a car- 

 mine-rose on the reverse as they expand. Price. 

 10 cts.; 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



White Dorothy. Exquisitely beautiful, vig- 

 orous novelty. This Rose has all the merits of the 

 famous pink Dorothy Perkins, of which it is an 

 offspring. The flowers are remarkably pure 

 white and are borne in clusters completely cover- 

 ing the plant and contrasting most beautifully 

 with the brilliant green foliage. White Dorothy 

 grows to perfection in heavy soil and frequently 

 reaches a height of 30 feet in a single season. It 

 is hardy everywhere without protection. Price, 

 mailing size, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants 40 cts. 



Lady Gay. Flowers delicate cerise-pink, 

 passing to soft white. The effect of the com- 

 bination of soft white flowers, pink buds and 

 green foliage is indeed charming. Price, 10 

 cts.; from 3-in pots, 13 cts.; 2-year plants 

 30 cts.
