HARDY CLIMBING ROSES-Gontinued 



Birdie Blye 



This Rose is the only one of its class 



that can be called absolutely ever- 

 blooming — it is in flower continually 



from early spring until the snow is on 



the ground. Bright, carmine fragrant 



flowers, and of good form, large size 



produced in clusters. Heavy, disease 



resistant foliage. It grows to a height 



of about ten feet, of vigorous growth it is a true 



climber. This Rose is exceptionally satisfactory. 



It produces a wealth of bloom and needs no atten- 

 tion once it becomes established on its own roots. 



Source D'Or. A golden yellow with large double 

 flowers. Strong rank grower. Absolutely hardy. 



Minnehaha. A charming double satiny pink- 

 flowering Rambler of a most pleasing color. 

 Flowers are borne in clusters; foliage glossy green. 



Lady Godiva. A magnificent white sport from 



Dorothy Perkins, with flowers growing in splendid clusters and 

 of remarkably vigorous growth and handsome foliage. Dark 

 green foliage and free from ravages of insects or disease. 



Goldfinch. A new, hardy climbing Rose which will shortly be- 

 come one of the leaders. It is of the Rambler type and bears a 

 wondrous profusion of lemon-yellow, semi-double flowers in 

 large trusses. The buds are beautiful deep yellow. Hardy 

 and everblooming. 



Aunt Harriet. In full bloom, it is amazingly fine with its 

 masses of dazzling scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. 

 The bright effect is intensified by the pure white centers and 

 brilliant golden anthers which shine out when the flowers are fully 

 open. Awarded Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society. 



American Pillar. Of extremely vigorous habit of growth, the bushes 

 being clothed in lively green from earliest spring until late in the fall. 

 The flowers are produced in profusion, fairly covering 

 the bush, color bright pink. In the fall, the red berries, 

 which are highly-ornamental. 



Silver Moon. Blooms very large, four or more inches in 

 diameter, pure white in color and of good substance, 

 forming a clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yel- 

 low stamens in the center makes it very attractive. 



Dorothy Perkins (The Brilliant Rambler Rose). Flow- 

 ers are borne in large clusters, are very double, with 

 prettily crinkled petals; remarkably pretty pointed 

 buds, beautiful clear shell-pink in color, lasting a long 

 time without fading. The bush is perfectly hardy in 

 all localities, a rapid and thrifty grower, bearing its 

 flowers in great clusters. 



Philadelphia Crimson Rambler. This now famous 

 variety differs from the old Crimson Rambler in having 

 brighter, deeper, and more intense crimson color. 

 Earlier than the Crimson Rambler and entirely free 

 from mildew. Flowers perfectly double and of excellent 

 substance. < 



Crimson Rambler (The Rose of the Masses). One- 

 year plants will attain a height of 10 to 20 feet in a 

 single season, and the second year they will continue to 

 produce a marvelous profusion of rich and glowing 

 crimson flowers in large clusters? It presents a vivid 

 crimson mass of beauty when in full bloom, during 

 June and July. It is absolutely hardy everywhere. 



Pink Rambler. Large trusses of brilliant carmine 

 flowers. Very popular. 



Everblooming Climbing Rose, "Birdie Blye" 



Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins) 



New and distinct Rambler of remarkable merit. A 

 remarkable grower, free from insects and producing a 

 great quantity of blooms of crimson-maroon with tips of 

 the petals scarlet. Flowers full and double and thirty 

 or forty produced on a stem. The undesirable features 

 of the Crimson Rambler, the unsightly foliage, is 

 eliminated in this Rose by the infusion of Wichuraiana 

 blood. 

 Yellow Rambler (Aglaia). Flowers are deep golden 



yellow and very fragrant. 

 White Rambler (Thalia). Flowers pure white, some- 

 times tinted with blush. 

 Flower of Fairfield. A rampant climber, it bears 

 enormous clusters of brilliant crimson flowers. Intro- 

 duced as and sometimes called the Everblooming 

 Crimson Rambler. Blooms the second and third time 

 each season. 

 Veilchen Blau or Violet Blue. The Blue Rose is one 

 of the most rampant growers we have ever seen, cover- 

 ing a large porch in a single season. The flowers are 

 borne in loose clusters and are a delightful shade of 

 blue — something entirely different from any Rose now 

 in cultivation.
