New Hardy Climbing Roses and 

 Specially Meritorious Varieties 



THE NEW DAWN 



(THE EVERBLOOMING DR. W. VAN FLEET) 

 Patent Number 1, the first patent issned August 18, 1931, under the 

 new Patent Law, has been granted to the originators of the New Dawn 

 Rose, giving them the sole rights for the propagation of this desirable 

 new variety. 



TTiis new Rose is a sport from Dr. Van Fleet which is universally 

 acknowledged as the best and most popular American Climbing Rose. 

 This new variety is identical in every way with its parent in size and 

 formation of its long pointed flesh pink buds and double flowers, but 

 blooms continuously throughout the summer and fall months. Really the 

 first worth while Hardy Everblooming Climber introduced; a variety 

 that every Rose lover will be anxious to possess. Stock limited, orders 

 filled in rotation as received. $100.00 per 100. 



Chaplin's Pink Climber 



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. 

 $30.00 per 100. 



The New Climbing Polyantha Rose 

 Climbing Lafayette or Auguste Kordes 



A sport of the popular Bedding Polyantha Rose Lafayette, possess- 

 ing all of the good characteristics of that desirable variety, but of a 

 strong, vigorous, climbing habit, producing its good-sized, very at- 

 tractive, bright crimson scarlet flowers very freely in large trusses. 

 The plants are covered with bloom from top to bottom in early sum- 

 mer, with some intermittent periods of bloom during the late summer 

 and fall. $30.00 per 100. 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin 



(The Spanish Beauty) 

 Mme. Gregoire Staechelin has inherited the best qualities 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 pearly-pink inside 

 and it is richly perfumed. It grows 12 feet or more and has 

 large disease-resistant foliage. The main stem of the plant shoots 

 upright and the long bloom-spurs stand out 18 inches at right 

 angles, with exquisite, full, fragrant blooms. These blooms 

 come early in June and last over a long period. $50.00 per 100. 



Primrose, the New Yellow Rambler 



In this we have what has long been sought after a real hardy 

 rambler, a strong vigorous grower and hardy under the same condi- 

 tions under which D'r. 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 21/2 inches in diameter. The plant is of vigorous climbing habit, 

 free flowering, mid-season and the flowers last in good condition for 

 a long time, with healthy dark foliage. $30.00 per 100.

 its parents. The flowers are large for this type of Rose, being 3 inches 

 in diameter, usually with three rows of petals, produced in clusters 

 of from 3 to 18 blooms, which last in good condition a long time.

 ped, lasting, fragrant flowers, borne profusely in clusters in May and 

 June. Color a pretty, delicate coppery salmon pink. $35.00 per 100.

 among the most popular, when its merits and dis- 

 tinct coloring becomes better known. In color a deep 

 orangy yellow, tinted coppery red; flowers of good 

 size, semi-double, very lasting, moderately fragrant, 

 borne several together on long stems. Blooms pro- 

 fusely in May and June. $40.00 per 100.
