 ing and Rambler Roses, which with the 

 splendid new sorts offered on page 58 

 makes our coUection of these very com- 

 plete. 



American Pillar. A single flowering variety of 

 great beauty. The flowers are of large size, 3 to 

 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink with a 

 clear white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. 



Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American 

 Beauty, in shape of flower, but is brighter in color, 

 a clear bright red, very fragrant. 



Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, of a refreshing bright wild-rose pink. 

 Climbing American Beauty. One of the best climbing Roses; color rich 

 rosy crimson, of splendid form and good substance. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large clusters, very 

 fragrant and lasting, a grand Rose in every way. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. Long pointed buds of a rich flesh-pink on stems 12 to 18 

 inches long; splendid for cutting. 



Excelsa. Intense crimson maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. 



Hiawatha. A brilliant, ruby carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of golden stamens — a glowing 



combination of colors. 

 Marie Wallace. Introduced by the American Rose Society in 1924. An excellent pillar Rose 



making a fine strong, self-supporting plant 6 to 8 feet high, blooming with great freedom in spring 



with a scattering of flowers during summer and fall; the flowers usually exceed 4 inches in diameter; 



well formed, semi-double, of a bright clear rose-pink with salmon base to the petals. 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber. No other Rose, in any class, can compare with this for brilliancy of 



color. 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. One of 



the most popular climbing Roses. 

 Roserie {Red Tausendschoen). Of the same habit of growth and 



flowering as Tausendschoen, but of a deeper and more even shade 



of cerise-pink. 



Climbing Rose 

 American Pillar 



Silver Moon. Beautiful semi-double flowers four inches and 

 over in diameter; pure white in color, petals of great substance, 

 beautifully cupped, forming a Clematis-like flower. 



Tausendschoen. The individual flowers are as beautiful as a 

 semi-double Azalea. In color it is a most delicate shade of 

 soft pink when first opening, changing to carmine on the reverse 

 of petals when fully expanded.

 flowers in June, with a liberal scattering of blooms throughout the season.

The best of all the climbing 

 Hybrid-Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed part of our 

 Nursery, with a very little protection, has withstood the past 

 ten winters, producing not only an immense crop of its very 

 large soft rose-colored flowers in June, but continuing to bloom 

 almost without intermission until the end of the season. .
