Varieties 



THE NEW DAWN 

 THE EVERBLOOMING 

 DR. W. VAN FLEET 



The First Plant Patented Under the 

 United States Patent Laws. 



Patent Number 1, the first patent issued 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. 



This 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. Strong, two-year-old plants, $2.00 each. 



Primrose, the New Yellow Rambler 



The ideal hardy yellow rambler, a strong vigorous grower and hardy under the 

 same conditions 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 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. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



New Climbing Polyantha Rose Climbing 

 Lafayette 



A sport of the popular Bedding Polyantha Rose Lafayette, possessing all of the 

 good characteristics of that desirable variety, but of a strong, vigorous, climbing 

 habit, producing its good-sized, very attractive, bright crimson scarlet flowers very 

 freely in large trusses. The plants are covered with bloom from top to bottom in 

 early summer, with some intermittent periods of bloom during the late summer and 

 fall. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Albertine. An Attractive Climber 



Though introduced ten years ago is little known. A clean healthy vigorous grower 

 with dark glossy foliage and good sized, double, cupped, lasting, fragrant flowers, 

 borne profusely in clusters in May and June. Color a pretty, delicate coppery salmon 

 pink. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



New Climbing Rose Thelma 



Similar in habit of growth to Paul's Scarlet Climber which is one of 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. Color a delicate coral pink suffused with carmine. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Jacotte. A Gem Among Climbers 



A favorite variety now, but destined to find a place among the most popular, when 

 its merits and distinct coloring becomes better known. In color a deep orangy yellow, 

 tinted coppery red; flowers of good size, semi-double, very lasting, moderately fra- 

 grant, borne several together on long stems. Blooms profusely in May and June. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



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. $1.00 each; $10.00 

 per doz. 



Mme. Gregoire 

 Staechelin 



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 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 ex- 

 quisite, full, fragrant blooms. These blooms 

 come early in June and last over a long period. 

 $1.25 each; $12.50 per doz.
