ROSES 



HYBRID PERPETUALS 



These roses grow 3 to 5 feet tall and bloom very freely in June 

 and July, producing enormous crops of flowers. Occasionally they 

 bloom a little late in the season. They are hardier than the Hybrid 

 Teas and need less protection in winter. 



These plants are 60 cts. each, $6.00 per doz. 

 American Beauty. A very famous Rose of delightful fragrance and 



rich dark pink color. It blooms much oftener in the season than 



most of its class. 



Frau Karl Druschki. Pure white, very large flowers of very fine 

 shape. Undoubtedly the best white Rose in the world as it blooms 

 steadily throughout the summer and fall. A very tall, strong- 

 growing bush. 



General Jacqueminot. Rich crimson, very fragrant flowers freely 



produced in June and July, but it seldom flowers late in the season. 



One of the best-known and best liked Roses. 

 Georg Arends. Very large, beautifully formed buds and flowers of 



tender light pink; fragrant, fine for cutting. It frequently blooms 



well in the autumn. Extremely fine. 

 Marshall P. Wilder. A very well-shaped dark red Rose which is 



now quite scarce. The plant is vigorous and blooms very freely. 

 Soleil d'Or. Rich orange-yellow, with red markings; double; very 



fragrant. One of the most gloriously colored Roses in existence, 



but the bush is a little tender and should not be pruned at all. 

 Paul Neyron. Very large, irregular, double flowers of old-rose-pink. 



Blooms freely and persistently all season. One of the best. Strong, 



but comparatively dwarf growth. 



HARDY CLIMBERS 



These Roses are suitable for covering walls, fences, and arches or 

 growing on porches, posts, or trellises. They bloom abundantly 

 once each season. 



60 cts. each, $6.00 per doz. 

 American Pillar. Giant clusters of sparkling pink flowers the size 



of a half-dollar. Very strong, climbing growth with rich, glossy 



foliage. One of the best. 

 Climbing American Beauty. Large, exquisitely formed and deli- 



ciously fragrant flowers of light purple-crimson; blooms very early. 



Best trained to a post or pillar. 

 Crimson Rambler. Great clusters of vivid scarlet-red flowers of 



small size, but so abundantly produced as to cover the plant. 



Very vigorous, but rather stiff canelike growth. 



Frau Karl Druschki Rose 



American Pillar 



Dorothy Perkins. Large clusters of soft shell-pink, crinkly flowers 



borne in great profusion. Very vigorous, slender, wiry canes which 



can be easily trained over any support. 

 Dr. W. Van Fleet. Large, beautifully formed flowers of palest pink, 



borne on long stems for cutting. The plant is extraordinarily 



vigorous, and the foliage is glossy and healthy. 

 Excelsa. Much like Dorothy Perkins in habit, but the flowers are 



light crimson, giving much the same effect as Crimson Rambler, 



and it is easier to handle than that variety. 

 Emily Gray. The only genuine yellow rambler. The flowers are 



large, rich buff-yellow, and freely produced. The plant will not 



endure zero weather without protection, but it can be carried over 



winter with a little care. 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber. Bright scarlet flowers of medium size 



very freely produced. Not as vigorous as other climbers, and 



should be trained to a post or pillar. 

 Silver Moon. Very large, almost single, ivory-white flowers with a 



mass of golden yellow stamens. Extremely vigorous, with beau- 

 tiful, glossy foliage. 

 Tausendschon. Clusters of medium-sized, ruffled flowers of many 



shades of pink and creamy white. Strong, almost thomless growth 



with attractive light green leaves. 

 Yellow Rambler. Yellow buds, and yellowish white flowers which 



are very freely produced. It is hardier than Emily Gray, but not 



so yellow.
