A Rose among Roses. 



Climbing Bridesmaid. 



If there is one Rose more beautiful 

 than another, that Rose is Bridesmaid. 

 It is the standard pink cut-flower Rose 

 of America. It has many rivals, but as 

 yet it holds its own as one of the grand- 

 est Roses in commerce. It represents the highest degree 

 Qf beauty yet attained in Roses of its class. It is distinct 

 in form, distinct in growth and equally distinct in color. 

 When we first offered this new variety as a sport from Brides- 

 maid, its popularity was assured. We proceeded to grow 

 as many as we could, but the demand kept the supply down. 

 Not until this year have we been able to get it in such 

 quantity as would allow us to bring it into prominent notice 

 and offer it at popular price. We want our customers to 

 try this Rose, more especially those whose Winters are not 

 too severe. It is quite hardy, but where the Winters are 

 very cold and long, it should be carefully protected in open 

 ground. It grows rapidly and strongly, and blooms as 

 freely as does its parent, Bridesmaid, which is practically all 

 the time. The flowers are simply beautiful (identical with 

 Bridesmaid), clear dark pink; in bud they are superb, be- 

 yond anything we have ever seen. This is one of the most 

 valuable additions to the Climbing Tea Roses made in recent 

 years. 15 Cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts. ; 5 for 50 cts.; 10 for 

 $1 ; two-fear-old plants, 40 cts. each ; 2 for 75 cts. 



New Hardy Ever-blooming Crimson Rose, 



Climbing Wootton.

% 



i\ 



To our mind this is one of tlie best 

 Roses in this book, for these reasons : 

 It is hardy, has no weak spots, grows 

 with wonderful vigor, blooms continu- , 



ally throughout the growing season, pro- '' 



ducing flowers that are nothing less than superb both in 

 beauty and in fragrance. These we think are the points 

 that make a good Rose, and in this variety we have one. It 

 is a sport from that famous Rose, Souv. de Wootton, and is 

 identical with it except that it is a strong, rampant climber, 

 growing in one season to a height of 10 to 15 feet, and 

 producing in wonderful profusion its superbly formed flow- 

 ers, which are bright, magenta red, passing to violet crim- 

 son, richly shaded. The flowers are large, full and regular, 

 with thick, leathery petals and deliciously scented. Makes 

 beautiful buds. As an outdoor climbing Rose, it will take 

 front rank because of its hardiness, strong growth and free- 

 dom of bloom. A well-developed bush covered with finely 

 formed flowers is beautiful beyond anything we have ever 

 seen. Trulv this is a magnificent and valuable new Rose.
