This class includes some of our most beautiful and valuable Roses. They are un- 

 usually free and continuous bloomers, producing flowers of rare and striking beauty. 

 As they are mostly climbers, they shoud be planted near porches, pillars or trellises, 

 where they can have support. 



We recommend varieties such as America, Chromatella, William Allen 



Richardson, Climbing Perle des Jardins, Climbing Niphetos and Marechal 



Niel, etc., as magnificent climbers for the South, and also equally valuable 



for forcing and growing under glass ; invaluable for training up greenhouse 



rafters, etc. Marechal Niel is one of the most popular, and is used quite 



extensively for planting in open ground in the South. Varieties such as Gloire de 



Dijon, Reine Marie Henriette, Washington, etc., are quite hardy and give excellent 



satisfaction for general planting; however, when convenient, they will be greatly 



benefited by a light covering of leaves or straw before Winter begins. 



A riagnificent jyi JifPch a 1 Nlfil* Our stock of this splendid old favorite was never 



Rose j n better condition or in larger supply, hence we 



wish to call particular attention to it, and for this reason we have sought to give a partial 

 idea of its rampant growth and blooming propensities by giving a truthful illustration of an 

 ordinary plant. It is essentially a magnificent Rose for Southern cultivation, where it attains 

 a degree of perfection seldom seen in any Rose. The buds and flowers are superb ; extra 

 large, very double and deliciously perfumed ; they are, in point of beauty, the first of their 

 class. The color is deep golden yellow. Marechal Niel is highly esteemed for general plant- 

 ing in the North, where it makes a splendid showing during the Summer months, and for 

 greenhouse or conservatory culture it is by all odds the most desirable Rose we know. Its 

 merit as an outdoor Rose has made it famous in the South, and we recommend it more 

 highly than ever to our Southern friends. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.
