HARDY EVERBLOOMING GARDEN ROSES— Continued 



Dr. Van Fleet. Flesh pink on the outer surface, deepening 

 to rosy flesh in the center. The flowers are full, very 

 double, and carried on good stems, resembling Souvenir de 

 President Carnot (one of the parents) in color. The flower, 

 when open, will measure four inches or more in diameter, 

 and is highly built in the center. Strong and handsome in 

 growth. A superb variety. 



From 5-inch pots: 75c. per plant. 



Dorothy Perkins. A splendid variety. Bright, glossy 

 foUage that always looks healthy, and beautiful clusters of 

 pink flowers. It is to be higlily recommended for general 

 planting, owing to its hardiness under all conditions. It 

 is used extensively- for arches and pergolas, as it is a very 

 strong-growing variety. 



Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins). Having the dark, glossy, 

 disease-resisting fohage peculiar to the Wichuraiana type. 

 This new^ variety is not susceptible to mildew and other 

 fungous diseases affecting the Crim.?on Rambler. The 

 growth is very vigorous and healthy in appearance, rescm- 

 bhng in this respect Dorothy Perkins. Flowers are very- 

 double, produced in large trusses of thirty to forty blossoms, 

 which, individually, are unusuaOy large for a climbing 

 Rose. The color is intense crimson maroon, tinged scarlet 

 on the edges of the petals. Without doubt the best red 

 Rambler. 



Gardenia. Bright yellow, paler as flower expands. The 

 nearest approach to a full, jellow, climbing Rose. Very 

 vigorous. A desirable variety. 



Minnehaha 



Dr. Van Fleet 



Hiawatha. The most brilliant-colored smgle Rose. In

 golden stamens. It is a glowing combination of color and a 

 variety yon must know- to appreciate. 



Lady Gay. Vigorous in growth, with flowers of delicate 

 cerise pink in heavy clusters. The combination of deep 

 pink buds, shading to softer pink in the oi)en flower, cum- 

 bined with tlie glossy, green foliage, makes tliis ^-ari(■ty one 

 of the most charming of the Ramlilers. 



Leuchstern. Bright rose, large, white eye. A very heauti- 

 fid, single Rose of the Rambler type. Flow-ers early, and 

 remains in bloom a long time: attractive even when fading. 

 A superb Rose.
