The set of 10 Climbing Roses, named above, for $1. 



Ifesh New English Climbing Rose, Waltham Queen.* 



This splendid new ever-bloomivg climbing Rose is introduced from England, 

 where it has given great satisfaction. It is believed to be a valuable acquisition, 

 particularly for the South and Pacific Coast, and though not entirely hardy in 

 the North, will probably do well in many situations in the Middle States. It is 

 a strong grower and continuous bloomer ; the flowers are large, full and sweet ; 

 color rich scarlety crimson, very beautiful and a profuse bloomer. 20 cts. each. 



Hiscellaneous Climbing Roses, The Hicrophylla Roses. 



These are hardy and vigorous semi-climbing Roses, and are extremely satisfactory for 

 cemeteries, rock work, covering old walls, mounds, etc. Strong and bushy growers, 

 with small, glossy, green foliage and nearly evergreen in habit; the flowers are entirely 

 double, very pretty and sweet. Splendid for Rose hedges. 



White. *— A strong grower and a continuous bloomer ; flowers perfectly double, 



sweet, and the purest white in color. 15 cts. each. 

 Red.* — Habit of growth similar to White; flowers of bright red, produced in 

 great profusion. 15 cts, each. 



The Lady Banks or Banksian Roses 



Are fine climbing or trailing Roses. Require two or three years' growth to bloom 

 to perfection, and are then very beautiful. As the flowers are produced on the old 



growth, they should be pruned very little, 

 merely cutting away what is necessary. 

 Alba or White.*— Pure white Violet- 

 scented flowers ; beautiful, perfect form. 

 15 cts. each. 



Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) can 

 be furnished in two-year-old plants at 30 cts,
