 Climbing Roses 



Baltimore Belle. Blush-white, large 



clusters. An old favorite. 



Climbing Wooton. Large, deep crimson

 base, the center of each flower filled with 

 golden-yellow anthers. Single flowers.

Tausendschon or "Thousand Beauties." 

 A beautiful, new climbing Rose which has 

 leaped into popularity by its inherent

 age the most beautiful shades of carmine- 

 rose, cerise, blush and soft white with a 

 gleam of light yellow, soft crimson and 

 intermediate tints; a combination of 

 charming coloring, which is bewildering.
