I^CUMBING ROSES 



€HE almost magical development of this class within a few years past has 

 brought them prominently to the fore. Their remarkable merits have made 

 them the most popular Roses in cultivation. We know of no class of Roses 

 that are more satisfactory ; indeed there are few as good. We make a specialty 

 of the Climbing Roses because their remarkable merits entitle them to a place in 

 every garden. They are the sort of Roses we can recommend and feel that they 

 will not only do what we say they will, but a little more. They are strong growers, 

 and most of them are hardy everywhere with slight protection. They bloom with 

 the greatest freedom, and w4th many of them there is not a day during the growing 

 season when they are not blooming. And such flowers ! They are simply exquisite. 

 No illustration will do justice to the beauty of such varieties as Mrs. Robert Peary, 

 White Marechal Niel, Climbing Wootton, Climbing Meteor, Climbing Bridesmaid, 

 the Rambler Roses, in fact it is difficult to say which is the prettiest. Certain 

 it is that of all the Roses offered in this book the Climbing Roses are among the 

 cheapest, best and most satisfactory for general planting. • 



G^Am>wsE VARIETY, y^^'^^Q Mafechal Niel. 



The fame of Marechal Niel, with 

 its large, deep, golden-yellow flowers, 

 is so world-wide that nothing further 

 need be said of this new variety in order 

 to make it instantly popular than that 

 it is the exact counterpart in every 

 respect of Marechal Niel, its parent, save 

 the color of its flower, which is pure white; 

 totally distinct. We have seen flowers of 

 Marechal Niel growing to perfection here at 

 the North and surviving the most severe Winters, 

 but notwithstanding it is less hardy than the 

 average Climbing Tea or Noisette Roses. Like 

 Gloire de Dijon, if it can be brought through 

 the first two or three Winters in safety, it will 

 then take care of itself; the same can be said of White 

 Marechal Niel. In the South it will be grand — ^just as 

 good as Marechal Niel. If carefully protected in the North, 

 it will also prove itself a magnificent Rose. For house or 

 greenhouse culture it ranks among the first. This remark- 

 able variety is sell- 

 ing at enormous prices 

 throughout Europe, where 

 it originated. As a com- 

 panion plant to Marechal Niel 

 (ve anticipate a splendid demand for 

 It. 20cts. each; 3for 50 cts.; 7 

 y for $1, postpaid by Mail ; two-year-old 



- "' plants, 35 cts. each ; 3 for $1, by Express. 



Red riarechal Niel. New. Bud and flower

The fifty Rosebushes that you sent me in 

 the Spring were entirely satisfactory. The 

 bushes are now from one 10 six feet high 

 I have had beautiful Koses all Summer, 

 and some of the bushes have had as high 

 as fifteen buds on them atone time. Many 

 people remarked that they never saw ^uch 

 thrifty Rosebushes. I tell them thev are 

 the D. & C. Roses. One of the Chrysan- 

 themums has over 150 buds and blossoms, 

 and four branches broken off by children.
