 all Roses for summer bloorning, as it will make 

 a strong growth, and is literally loaded with

 choice among all climbing Roses. Price, 1-year

 3-year plants, 60 cts. 



Empress of China. (The Apple-Blossom 

 Rose;. — Red. This is a hardy climber that

 December in the open ground. Introduced from

 beautiful Roses. Price, strong mailing-size double, sweet. Price, mailing size, 10 cts.; 

 plants. IS cts.; 2-year plants. 40 cts. strong 2-year plants. 25 cts.; 



Marechal Niel. Yellow. The world- 

 renowned Rose. A beautiful, deep sulphur- 

 yellow; very full, large and exceedingly fragrant. 

 It has a climbing habit, and in a few years will 

 attain a large size, yielding thousands of beautiful 

 golden yellow flowers. Especially desirable in 

 the South. Price, mailing size, from 3-inch 

 pots, 10 cts.; fine 2-year plants that made 4 to 

 6 feet of growth last summer, 35 cts.

 double to the center, and borne in endless numbers 

 in large clusters all summer. Vigorous and 

 rapid grower. One plant of Mary Washington 

 will produce more flowers and buds than a 

 dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance is tinged 

 with the old-fashioned musky flavor so much 



which is famous as having been planted by 

 George Washington and named in honor of his 

 mother. It is still a strong, vigorous bush, 

 blooming profusely and demonstrating that the 

 soil and climate of Fairfax are especially adapted 

 to Rose-growing. Price, strong mailing size, 

 from 3-inch pots. 10 cts.; fine 2-year plants, 30 

 cts. 



Mrs. Robert Peary. (Climbing Kaiserin). 

 White. This is, without doubt, the grandest of 

 all white climbing Roses. It is the first and only 

 white hardy, everblooming climbing Rose, and, 

 as such, fills a demand that has never before 

 been supplied. Small plants bloom continually 

 the first season, just as the parent Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria, does. The flowers are extra 

 large, full, deep and double, and are produced on 

 long, stiff stems like a forcing or cut-flower Rose. 

 The buds are long and pointed, exquisitely 

 modeled and gracefully finished. Both in bud 

 and flower it is truly beautiful. Always a 

 wonderfully vigorous grower and very hardy. 

 Price, strong mailing-size plants, 10 cts.; fine 

 2-year plants, 30 cts.; extra-fine 3-year plants, 50 



Rere D'or (Golden Chain, or Climbing 

 Safrano). Yellow. A beautiful pillar Rose.

 full and sweet. I have a fine stock of this Rose, 

 and recommend it highly. Price, strong mail- 

 ing size, from 3-inch pots, 10 cts.; fine 2-year 

 plants, 25 cts. 



Rambler Roses 



While these do not bloom continuously, they 

 are covered during their blooming season with 

 a wealth of flowers of various shades. The sight 

 of a large Rambler Rose in full bloom is one long 

 to be remembered — a wealth of color shown by 

 no other class of plant. 



Philadelphia Crimson Rambler. This 

 splendid new variety differs from the old Crimson 

 Rambler in having a brighter, deeper and more 

 intense color, and flowers that are perfectly 

 double to the center; very durable and of excellent 

 substance. It is a very profuse bloorner and a 

 good, healthy grower, producing splendid clusters 

 of perfectly double and intensely brilliant flowers, 

 absolutely free from the faded appearance so fre- 

 quently seen in flowers of the ordinary Crimson 

 Rambler. Price, strong plants, 10 cts.; 3-inch 

 pots, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



Crimson Rambler. Often grows 8 to 10 

 feet in a season. Magnificent in bush form, and 

 for covering buildings, trellises, etc. Brightest 

 crimson, undimmed to the end. The flowers are 

 produced in great pyramidal panicles or trusses 

 of thirty to forty blooms. Price, from 3-inch 

 pots. 10 cts.; 2-year plants, 25 cts.; 3-year plants, 

 heavy, 50 cts. 



Dorothy Perkins. The flowers are clear 

 shell-pink, with lovely, oddly wrinkled petals; 

 buds pointed, well formed, borne in great clusters. 

 A fine climber and a profuse bloomer; flowers 

 very durable and the clusters are good for cut- 

 ting. Price, strong mailing size, from 3-inch 

 pots, 10 cts.; 2-year plants, fine, 30 cts.; extra 

 3-year plants, 50 cts. 



Lyon Rambler. Bears immense trusses of 

 from thirty to fifty flowers, in color a bright vivid 

 pink, shaded with crimson and wonderfully attrac- 

 tive. Many consider it superior to Dorothy Per- 

 kins. Price, mailing size, 15 cts.; 2-year, 40 cts. 



Tausendschon. Truly called "Thousand 

 Beauties." One of the really reliable novelties. 

 It bears its flowers in immense clusters; in color a 

 soft pink when first opening, changing to a car- 

 mine-rose on the reverse as they expand. Price, 

 10 cts.; 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 35 cts.
