A cross between Mad, Caroline 



Testout and an unknown seedling. 



Has the constitution of an oak, 



with thick, leathery, dark green 



foliage, practically immune from insects or disease. Blooms are produced singly and 



in large clusters, each bloom perfect in form and from 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Color 



an exquisite shade of bright wild-rose pink. 



*KEYSTONE — Perfectly hardy everywhere, blooms in wonderful profusion. The 

 open flower of Keystone is perfectly double, with buds beautifully formed. It is 

 a deep lemon-yellow Rose, similar to Coquette de Lyon. The fragrance is much 

 like that of magnolia blossoms. 



CLIMBING WHITE PET— Snow-white. 



PRIDE OF WASHINGTON— Bright amaranth, shaded rose center; double clusters. 



*LADYGAY — Flowers of a delicate cherry-pink color, which fades to a soft white; 



deep green foliage.

 white, and lustrous as satin. 



AVIATEUR BLERIOT— Saf- 

 fron-yellow, center golden- 

 yellow; full and double, flower- 

 ing in clusters. 



*VEILCHEN BLAU,or Violet 

 Blue — The Blue Rose is one of 

 the most rampant growers we 

 have ever seen, covering a 

 large porch in a single season. 



The flowers are borne in loose 

 clusters and are a delightful shade of blue — something entirely 



beautiful Rose, delicately tinted flesh, almost 



different from any Rose now in cultivation. 



SUPERBA — Bright rosy pink, clear and beautiful, 

 clusters. 



Blooms 



WHITE BANKSIA— Pure White, violet-scented flowers; perfectly 

 double. 



YELLOW BANKSIA— Fine clear yellow; very full and beautiful. 



TENNESSEE BELLE— Bright rosy blush; large, full and fragrant. 



BORDEAUX — A new handsome, hardy climbing Rose with splendid 

 clusters of wine-red flowers, larger than those of the Crimson 

 Rambler. Strong, rapid grower. Foliage free from disease and 

 insects. Leaves long and pointed.
