NEW, hardy, ever-blooming climbing 

 Rose that blooms the first season, 

 early, late and all the time. Without 

 exception one of the most valuable 

 and popular Roses now offered. It is a Rose 

 that everybody can succeed v^^ith and one that 

 is sure to give satisfaction. From May until 

 December it produces its flowers in great pro- 

 fusion. It is absolutely hardy, having with- 

 stood uninjured a temperature of i6 degrees 

 below zero unprotected. Why then should it 

 not be a popular Rose? We want more 

 Roses of this kind. It grows almost as fast as 

 a Morning Glory, young plants making canes 

 in one year 15 to 25 feet high. We have a 

 plant of this variety growing on our grounds that has 

 nearly fifty canes from 20 to 30 feet m height. The 

 flowers look like apple-blossoms ! The color is soft 

 dark red, changing to lighter red or pink, like the color 

 found in an apple-blossom. They come by the hun- / 

 dreds. A customer, A. E. Sensenig, writing from Los , 

 Angeles, California, says : " One year ago I received a s ^^jifj 

 small plant of Empress of China ; in six weeks' time it 0'^ \ 

 commenced to bloom, and has continued up to this 

 date. It is now loaded with blossoms and buds, and 

 has made new canes from six to ten feet from the first 

 of the year. I believe here in this State you can 

 gather flowers from it every day in the year." (This letter >. ^' 

 was written April 6.) It will 

 grow anywhere. Needs no atten- 

 tion other than cutting it back 

 slightly as it blooms, which will 

 cause new blooming shoots to ap- 

 pear. We make the price low.

NEW EVEE-BLOOMIH& POLTAKIHA EOSE. 



Climbins Mblte pet. 



An extraordinary Rose of pronounced merit ; 

 immensely popular. Its vigor is nothing short 

 of remarkable. Young plants will, the first 

 year, make a finely formed bush with numerous 

 shoots 12 to 20 feet long. In the Southern, 

 Southwestern and Pacific Coast States its growth 

 n a year is almost unbelievable. It is a hand- 

 some Rose without flowers because of its large, 

 clean foliage. The flowers are pure, snowy 

 white, of medium size, very double and full, and 

 are borne continuously throughout the season 

 in clusters like Crimson Rambler. Their fra- 

 grance is grand — an indescribable cherry-like 

 odor, delicate and delicious. Moderately hardy with pro- 

 tection. A true ever-blooming Rose. Try it.
