CLIMBING-^— 



Tea and Noisette Roses. 



This class includes some of our most beautiful and valuable Roses. They 

 are unusually free and continuous bloomers, producing flowers of rare and striking 

 beauty. As they are mostly climbers, they should be planted near porches, pillars 

 or trellises, where they can have support. 



We recommend varieties such as America, Chromatella, "William 



Allen Richardson, Climbing Perle des Jardins, Climbing Niphetos and 



Marechal Niel, etc., as magnificent climbers for the South, and also 



equally valuable for forcing and growing under glass ; invaluable for training 



up greenhouse rafters, etc. Marechal Niel is one of the most popular, and is 



used quite extensively for planting in open ground in the South. Varieties such 



as Gloire de Dijon, Reine Marie Henriette, Washington, etc., are quite hardy 



and give excellent satisfaction for general planting ; however;* when convenient, they 



will be greatly benefited by a light covering of leaves or straw before Winter begins* 



WE OFFER 22 VARIETIES OF CLIMBING TEA AND NOISETTE ROSES. 



A HAGNIFICENT ROSE 



Marechal Niel. 



Our stock of this splendid old favorite was never in better condition or in larger supply, 

 hence we wish to call particular attention to it, and for this reason we have sought to give a 

 partial idea of its rampant growth and blooming propensities by giving a truthful illustration 

 of an ordinary plant. It is essentially a magnificent Rose for Southern cultivation, where it 

 attains a degree of perfection seldom seen in any Rose. The buds and flowers are superb ; 

 extra large, very double and deliciously perfumed ; they are, in point of beauty, 

 the first of their class. The color is deep golden yellow. Marechal Niel is 

 highly esteemed for general planting in the North, where it makes a splendid 

 showing during the Summer months, and for greenhouse or conservatory cul- 

 ture it IS by all odds the most desirable Rose we know. Its merit as an outdoor 

 Rose has made it famous in the South, and we recommend it more highly 

 than ever to our Southern friends. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.
