R Wonderful New Climbing Rose from India. 

 GROWS 40 FEET IN ONE SEASON! 



We believe that without exception this is one of 

 the most valuable and interesting Rose novelties 

 ' we have ever offered to the pubhc. This wonder 

 among Roses was sent to us from India, [that far eastern 

 land where almost impossible feats of legerdemain are 

 performed by the Hmdustani magicians. This Rose 

 must have originated at the hands of one of these 

 magicians, inasmuch as its rapidity of growth is noth- 

 ing less than marvelous. 



Within a season young plants 

 grow as if by magic to the in- 

 credible height of 40 feet and over. 



It throws up numerous strong canes and bears large, single 

 Flowers 4 to 5 inches across, 



which in color are pure bright pink. The flowers are very handsome 



and of such immense size as to attract instant attention wherever 



,/ seen. The foliage is different from that of any Rose we have ever seen 



/' ■ — very dark, of medium size, long and leathery, and is singularly free 



^.^,-- ■' from all attacks of insects. The growth, foliage and flower of this variety 



..■•' fs totally unlike anything yet offered in Roses. It is moderately hardy with 



protection. We believe that it will adapt itself to any soil or climate. As a new 



Rose possessing extraordinary and valuable features, we expect this variety to become 



exceedingly popular. You will make no mistake in planting it.
