NEW HARDY WHITE CLIMBING ROSE Mf^S. M H. WALSH. 



A new Rose of the Wichuraiaria type of climbers, raised by Mr. M. 

 H. Walsh who originated the fine varieties Excelsa, Hiawatha, La Fiamma 

 Lady Gay, etc., etc. This is probably his greatest achievement and 

 certainly is the finest double white Climbing Rose yet produced. The 

 flowers are of the purest white, very double and of the largest size in the 

 class. They are borne in large trusses and very freely, delicately fragrant. 

 The foliage is a handsome, dark glossy green, very ornamental. The 

 growth is vigorous and the plant very hardy. It was the sensation of 

 the National Flower Show held in Boston in the spring of 1911 and was 

 awarded highest honors. 



Price, 1st size, $3.00 each; 3d size, 50c. each; $4.50perdoz. 



Special offer. — One of each 2 year plants for $5 . 00. Young plants $1 . 25. 



Three Splendid New, Climbing Roses. 



Belong to the Disease-Proof Class of Rosa Wichuraiana Hybrids. 



In offering these splendid, new Climbing Roses we give the introducers 

 descriptions. We add that we have seen the original plants growing and 

 blooming and that we endorse all that has been said in their praise. They 

 are certainly fine additions to this rapidly growing class of Climbing Roses, 

 they are entirely distinct from any now in commerce and all lovers of fine 

 Climbing Roses are advised by us to make a place for them in their gardens, 

 as they have come to stay and will be the best in their colors for a long timt= 

 to come in our opinion. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. 



" A new Rose of wonderful beauty and merit. A cross between the Amei 

 ican Beauty and an unnamed seedling. Color rosy crimson, identical with it? 

 pollen parent, the American Beauty, and with the same exquisite fragrance, a 

 quality rarely found in climbing Roses. Of strong habit of growth, making 

 shoots of from ten to fifteen feet in one season, hardy as an oak. Will thrive 

 and bloom in almost any situation where a climbing or pillar Rose is desired 

 Flowers three to four inches in diameter, finely formed on long stems, are pro 

 duced in great profusion. The foliage is large, deep green and entirely free from 

 black spot or mildew. One of the first Roses to bloom in the spring, comes into 

 flower with us in the latter part of May and the first week in June, and con- 

 tinues in full flower for a month or more, with occasional bloom during the 

 growing season; the 

 plant with us having 

 buds and flowers until 

 nipped by frost in 

 November." Price, 

 strong 2 year plants, 

 $1.50 each. Young 

 plants 50c. each.
