WHOLESALE LIST 



New Hardy Climbing Roses 



Chaplin's Pink Climber 



Unauestionably the most important acquisi- 

 tion In climbing Roses since the introduction of 

 Dr. Van Fleet and Paul's Scarlet Climber, uni- 

 versally recognized as the most popular climb- 

 ing Roses, and to which Chaplin's Pink Climber 

 will prove an equally valuable companion. 



This striking novelty originated in the same 

 nursery in which Paul's Scarlet Climber was 

 raised. It is a cross between Paul's Scarlet and 

 American Pillar, of strong growth, perfectly 

 hardy, producing its large flowers, similar in 

 size and form to Paul's Scarlet, profusely in 

 strong trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers each, but 

 in color a rich lively pink. 



At the Spring Show of the National Rose So- 

 ciety of England in 1928, it was the outstanding 

 feature among the new Roses and was awarded 

 the Society's Gold Medal. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $C0.0O per 100. 



Primrose, the New Yellow Rambler 



In this we have what has long been sought 

 after a real hardy yellow rambler a strong vig- 

 orous grower and hardy under the same condi- 

 tions under which Dr. Van Fleet and similar 

 varieties will succeed. In color light primrose- 

 yellow which is maintained until the petals 

 drop. Its flowers are borne in trusses of from 

 2 to 5, on long stems, about 2% inches in di-

Mme. Gregoire Staechelin 



Mme Gregoire Staechelin has inherited the best 

 traits of both of its popular parents, Frau Karl 

 Druschki and Chateau de Clos Vougeot. The 

 long-pointed buds are crimson at first as the 

 sepals divide, then the firm outer petals show^ 

 splashes of carmine as the flower opens, with 

 an iridescent pearl-pink inside, and it is richly 

 perfumed. 



It grows 12 feet or more and has large, dis- 

 ease-resistant foliage. The main stem of the 

 plant shoots upright and the long bloom-spurs 

 stand out 18 inches at right angles, with exqui- 

 site, full, fragrant blooms. These blooms come 

 early in June and last over a long period.
