Newer Climbing and Rambler Roses 



Albertine. A remarkably free-flowering rambler with nicely 



shaped buds expanding to moderately double flowers of splen- 

 did form, nearly four inches in diameter; of a pleasing cameo- 

 pmk with silvery suffusion, sweetly scented; foliage rich deep 

 glossy green. 



Emily Gray. In this we have a real yellow climbing Rose as 

 hardy as Dr. Van Fleet.- The buds are long and pointed, of 

 splendid shape; incolor a beautiful light orange-yellow, chang- 

 ing to pale orange as they expand ; they are borne on stifi stems 

 of sufficient lengthforcutting, these stems areof acrimson-red 

 color which together with the unusually dark green, glossy, 

 holly-like foliage, adds a charm to the flowers and makes the 

 plant, even when out of bloom, a most ornamental subject. 



Ernestine Gosme. A unique single flowered variety of 

 pretty form and of a delicate soft pink which are produced 

 in great pyramidal -shaped, many flowered sprays, in greatest 

 profusion; a vigorous healthy grower. 



Jacotte. Color shrimp-pink or light salmon-orange shaded 

 golden yellow at base; flowers fully 2| inches in diameter, 

 delightfully scented; rich dark green glossy disease-resisting 

 foliage entirely distinct from all others and a color which 

 will make it a favorite. 



Le Reve. Another yellow pillar rose on the style of Star of 

 Persia . Experts are nofagreed as to which of the two varieties 

 is the most desirable. Mr. J. Horace McFarland, editor of 

 the American Rose Annual, speaking of this variety as it 

 appeared to him at his Breeze Hill Gardens on May 31st, 

 says, "Le Reve is perfectly beautiful today. This is a yellow 

 rose requiring no excuse for any fading, for it is yellow and 

 stays yellow. The foliage is good, the plant is good look- 

 ing, and the fragrance to me is delightful." 



New Climbing Rose, Emily Gray ; 



Mermaid. Beautiful large single creamy white flowers, 3 to 4 inches 

 in diameter. A most attractive free and more or less perpetual flower- 

 ing variety. A splendid pillar Rose, but not dependably hardy in this 

 latitude. It requires careful winter protection. 



Phyllis Bide {New Everblooming Climber). The only really perpetual 

 flowering climber in the collection and which was awarded a Gold Medal 

 at the National Rose Society's Show at Glasgow, Scotland, in 1924. The 

 feature of this variety is that it blooms continuously throughout the 

 summer and fall and while the dainty flowers are of small size they 

 are of exquisite form in bud, opening with gracefully reflexed petals and 

 are produced in long loose sprays; in color a pale gold at base flushed 

 and shaded pretty rosy-carmine towards the edges. $1.50 each. 



Solarium. In single flowering climbers this is a gem. It is of the same 

 type as Hiawatha on which it is a decided improvement, the flowers 

 being larger, more freely produced and of more brilliant coloring, an 

 intensely rich crimson-scarlet. 



Star of Persia. A brilliant new Rose with flowers on the order of the 

 lovely old Harrison's Yellow, semi-double, bright yeUow, and about 3 

 inches across. It makes a striking low climber or pillar Rose from 8 to 

 10 feet high, bursting into showers of sparkling bloom in June. It does 

 not fade and the flower trusses last several weeks. 



The Beacon. A distinct and effective novelty, bright fiery-red with 

 white eye in the way of American Pillar, single and semi-double, pro- 

 duced in large clusters, handsome foliage. 



Price. Any of the above new varieties, except where noted, in strong 

 dormant plants, $1.00 each; the set of 10 sorts for $9.00.
