ASIDE from Climbing Wootton, w 

 no red climbing Rose of any cl 



e have 

 class to 

 compare with this superb new variety. It has been 

 called the "Perpetual-blooming Jacqueminot," be- 

 cause of its freedom of bloom and its exquisitely 

 shaped buds and flowers which resemble that famous 

 variety. Climbing Meteor is a sport from Meteor, a 

 free-blooming Hybrid Tea Rose, famous for its mag- 

 lificent flowers. It has the true climbing hab- 

 ::, attaining a height of lo to 15 feet in a sin- 

 gle season. It is a free persistent bloomer, 

 producing in great profusion, throughout the 

 growing season, magnificently form- 

 ed buds and flowers, which in color 

 are dark velvety crimson, the equal 

 of any Rose in cultivatfon, and, if 

 anything, more glowing than its il- 

 lustrious parent. It is hardy with 

 protection, and wherever grown 

 will give absolute satisfaction.

 the introducers of this new variety. It will rank up among the 

 great Climbing Roses such as Mrs. Robert Peary, Climbing 

 "Wootton, Keystone, Climbing Meteor and similar free 

 blooming, hardy varieties. It is in every sense a hardy ever-bloom- 

 ing climlier. It is an offspring of that great Hybrid Tea Rose 

 Visconntess Folkestone, and is the counterpart of its parent, 

 both in foliage and flf>wer. The delicate colors are hard to descri])e, 

 being delicately tinged flesh, almost white and lustrous as satin, 

 when in full IJloom it resembles a large, fine white Paeony. but 

 without a suggestion of stiffness, often measuring 8 to 9 inches 

 in diameter. An enthusiastic admirer compared the flower to a 

 beautiful girl wearing a white Gainesborough hat ornamented 

 with white ostrich plumes, hence the name. This variety will 

 prove hardy in alnuist all sections with ordinary protection. As one 

 of the great new Climbing Roses be sure to give it a trial. Strong
