Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on account of its dainty 

 color and exquisitely shaped buds and flowers, has become a 

 great favorite. The long pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink on 

 stems 12 to 18 inches long; splendid for cutting. A strong 

 vigorous grower. 



Emily Gray. A real yellow climbing Rose. The buds are long 

 and pointed, of splendid shape; in color a beautiful light orange- 

 yellow, changing to pale orange as they expand; they are borne 

 on stiff stems of sufficient length for cutting, these stems are of a 

 crimson-red color which together with the unusually dark green, 

 glossy holly-like foliage, adds a charm to the flowers. Requires 

 protection north of Philadelphia. 



Ernestine Cosme. A unique single flower of pretty form and 

 of a delicate soft pink produced in great pyramidal-shaped, 

 many flowered sprays, in greatest profusion; a vigorous healthy 

 grower. 



Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening to double flowers of 

 cream color; incurving towards evening to the shape and color 

 of a Cape Jessamine, hence its name. 



Le Reve. Bright sunflower yellow on the style of the old favorite 

 Persian Yellow but with long pointed buds and semi-double 

 attractive flowers 2\ inches across, produced early in the season. 

 Useful as a pillar Rose. 



Marie Gouchault. Identical with Dorothy Perkins, excepting 

 in color, which is a clear geranium-pink without magenta 

 shadings. Very free and early. 



Mary Lovett. Large well-formed flowers of pure waxy white, 

 sweetly scented. 



Mary Wallace. Well formed, flowers of a bright clear rose-pink 

 with salmon base to the petals, flowers large, generally exceeding 

 four inches in diameter, very free flowering. 



Paul's Lemon Pillar. A very beautiful and entirely distinct 

 showy large double, sulphur-yellow, perfectly formed flower, 

 that has proven hardy in this latitude. Fine as a pillar Rose. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. The most popular of all climbing 

 Roses. Unequaled in brilliancy by any other variety, these are 

 of a vivid scarlet, of large size and are produced in clusters of 

 from 3 to 20 flowers on long, strong stems. 



Phyllis Bide. A small but dainty gem that frequently flowers 

 intermittently during the summer and fall. The buds of ex- 

 quisite form opening with gracefully reflexing petals pale gold 

 at base, flushed with pretty carmine towards the edges and are 

 carried on long graceful sprays. 



Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses 



Alida Lovett. Bright shell-pink with light yellow shadings at base of petals, flow- 

 ers of good size and quality. 

 American Pillar. A single flowering variety of great beauty. The flowers are of 

 large size, of a lovely shade of pink with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow 

 stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches and a large plant in full 

 bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 

 Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American Beauty, in shape of flower, but is 

 brighter in color, a clear bright red, of good size and of double form, strong and 

 very fragrant. 



Bonfire. The best of the red ramblers. Color intense crimson scarlet or fiery red in 



many flowered trusses. 

 Christine Wright. Very large cupped flowers of an exquisite and refreshing bright 

 wild rose pink color, borne in long-stemmed sprays; occasionally flowering in fall. 

 Climbing American Beauty. Its name is somewhat misleading, but it is one of 

 the best climbing Roses; a strong healthy vigorous grower, frequently making 

 shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, and good sized flowers for a climbing Rose that 

 blooms so freely; color deep rose pink, of good form and substance. 

 Crimson Rambler. Large clusters of crimson flowers. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large clusters, very fra- 

 grant and lasting. A favorite variety. 

 Dr. Huey. Similar in habit of growth and 

 form of flower to Paul's Scarlet Climber, but 

 of an intense dark crimson maroon color, and 

 when fully expanded showsits numerous golden 

 stamens, making a beautiful color combination. 



Silver Moon. Different 

 from all other Roses, with 

 beautiful fragrant semi- 

 double flowers four and a 

 half inches and over in 

 diameter; creamy white in 

 color, petals of great sub- 

 stance, beautifully cupped.

 Rose). Pretty, fragrant

 is required, 

 especially valu- 

 able where a

 is desired, 

 forming a 

 dense mat of 

 almost ever- 

 green foliage.
