HARDY 



CLIMBING AND 



RAMBLER 



ROSES 



We offer on this and the next page a selection 

 of the best standard varieties of Hardy 

 Climbing and Rambler Roses, which with the 

 splendid new sorts offered on page 27 makes our 

 collection of these very complete. 



Alida Lovett. Bright shell-pink with light 

 yellow shadings at base of petals, flowers of 

 quality. A most desirable climber. 



American Pillar. A single flowering variety of great beauty. The flowers are of 

 large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink with a clear white eye and 

 cluster of yellow stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches, and a 

 large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten.

Christine Wright. A most exquisite 



Rose, of strong climbing habit. The flowers are double, from 3§ 



to 4 inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, of perfect form, 



beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded flower; color a most 



refreshing bright wild-rose pink. 



Climbing American Beauty. Its name is somewhat misleading, 

 but it is one of the best climbing Roses; a strong healthy vigorous 

 grower, frequently making shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, and good 

 sized flowers for a climbing Rose that blooms so freely; color rich rosy 

 crimson, of splendid form and good substance. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large clusters, 

 very fragrant and lasting, a grand Rose in every way. 



Dr. Robert Huey. Similar in habit of growth and form of flower to 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, but of an intense dark crimson color, and when 

 fully expanded shows its numerous golden stamens, making a beautiful 

 color combination. 



Price. Any of the above in strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100.
