EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Plants 



Disease-proof Hardy Climbing Roses 



Climbing American Beauty 



A cross between the American Beauty and an unnamed seedling. Color 

 rosy crimson, identical with its pollen parent, the American Beauty, 

 and with the same exquisite fragrance, a quality rarely found in climbing 

 Roses. Of strong habit of growth, making^hoots of from ten to fifteen feet 

 in one season, hardy as an oak. Will thrive and bloom in almost any situa- 

 tion where a climbing or pillar Rose is desired. Flowers three to four 

 inches in diameter, finely formed on long stems, are produced in great 

 prolusion. (.Sec illustration.) 



Dr. W. Van Fleet 



Flowers are four inches and over in diameter. The center is built high, 

 petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The color is a remarkably 

 delicate shade of flesh pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy flesh 

 in the center. The flowers are full and double, of delicate perfume, buds 

 pointed, stems twelve to eighteen inches and fine for cutting. The foliage 

 is a peculiar shade of bronze-green, large and glossy. (See illustration.) 



New Fiery-Red Rambler Rose, Excelsa 



A splendid, new Climbing Rose, remarkable in many ways but particularly in 

 the brilliant fiery-red or intense crimson-scarlet of the flowers. The intensely 

 brilliant color is accentuated by the great masses of giant trusses produced on the 

 plants, and furthermore by the contrast with the deep green, glossy foliage. The 

 llowcrs are very double; they are larger than any of the Rambler Roses and borne 

 in trusses of thirty to forty on each; the body of the flower is brilliant in color, but 

 toward the edges of the petals they light up with a wonderful scarlet-crimson. 

 It is very vigorous in growth and belongs to the disease-proof race of Climbing 

 Roses developed by crossing on Rosa Wichuraiana. 



Mary Wallace 



A vivid and lasting pink, hitherto unknown in climbers. Flowers, semi- 

 double and very large, the pink shade being suffused with salmon toward the 

 base. An early bloomer of vigorous constitution, shoots canes 12 to 15 feet 



high in the season. Introduced in 

 1924 by American Rose Society and 

 already a great favorite. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber 



The flowers, a vivid scarlet, are of 

 good size, semi-double, very freely 

 produced in clusters of from 3 to 20 

 flowers each on much branched canes, 

 the plants being literally covered 

 from top to bottom with bloom. It 

 is of strong climbing habit and per- 

 fectly hardy. 



Silver Moon 



Hardy Everblooming 



Silver Moon is the result of a most 

 interesting cross, Rosa Wichuraiana X 

 Rosa Sinica — Cherokee Rose. The 

 flowers run four and one-half inches and 

 over in diameter, clear silver white in 

 color, petals of great substance and 

 beautifully cupped. The center is filled 

 with bright yellow stamens, a very at- 

 tractive feature. It is very floriferous, 

 foliage bronze-green and glossy. (See 

 illustration.) 



Dorothy Perkins 



A hardy climbing Rose of American origin which has become a standard sort. The color is beautiful 

 clear shell-pink; it blooms in trusses of from ten to thirty, each floret considerably over one inch in diam- 

 eter, the stem to the truss being quite long, thus making them available for cutting and interior deco- 

 ration. The flowers are fragrant and last a long time in good condition. Healthy, hardy and handsome.
