* A Thousand Beauties 



(German Tausendschoen) 



The most sensational Climb- 

 ing Rose yet introduced, not 

 even barring Crimson Ram- 

 bler. A single cluster is a 

 bouquet in itself, hence the 

 very fitting name, "Thou- 

 sand Beauties." Blooming 

 profusely from the begin- 

 ning of June until the last 

 of July, the flowers 

 appear in clusters 

 (10 to 15 in cluster) 

 of splendid size and 

 quite double. The 

 colors run from deli- 

 cate balsam to ten- 

 der rose through the 

 intermediate shades 

 of bright rose and 

 carmine, with white, 

 yellow and various 

 other indescribable / 

 tints showing. There ( 

 is no other Rose in 

 cultivation like it. It 

 is a strong grower, 

 with but few thorns, 

 magnificent foliage, 

 impervious. against 

 mildew and abso- 

 lutely hardy in the 

 open ground every- 

 where. The most re- 

 markable Rose of its 

 kind in the world, 

 and has been award- 

 ed numerous medals.

some bush Rose. No other concern offers such 

 a complete list of Climbing Roses as we, in- 

 cluding, as it does, all the new kinds, as well as 

 the old tried and true favorites which may be 

 found spreading their beauty all over our fair 

 land. 



All the Climbing Roses in our unequalled list 

 are on their own roots — a most vital point in 

 a Climbing Rose. Some are absolutely hardy 

 in the coldest parts of the country, while others 

 growing luxuriantly in the Middle and Southern 

 section, require some slight protection in the 

 North. 



All grown on their own roots; once planted 

 they last a life-time. Each season they throw 

 up from the roots strong shoots which if al- 

 lowed to grow produce bloom the 

 following season. These shoots 

 should not be trimmed, but 

 trained to supports. They 

 thus increase in size and 

 beauty each season.
