CROMWELL GARDENS, CROMWELL, CONN. 



HARDY CLIMBING AND RAMBLER 



ROSES, continued 



Miss G. Messman. A strong-grow- 

 ing, climbing form of the Baby 

 Rambler; flowers profusely in June, 

 and more or less through the 

 autumn. 



Mrs. M. H. Walsh. Pure milk-white 

 in color; heavy clusters and large 

 flowers for the type; undoubtedly 

 the best white climbing Rose. From 

 5-in. pots, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per 

 doz.; dormant, 60 cts. each. $6 

 per doz. 



Newport Fairy. With flowers of 

 deep pink, shading lighter toward 

 the center, this is one of the most 

 valuable single Roses. Its large 

 clusters are borne in great pro- 

 fusion, and the variety is a strong 

 grower. 



Sodenia. A scarlet Wichuraiana, 



producing its flowers in large trusses 



like Dorothy Perkins, and in great 



profusion. Its foliage is hard and 



not susceptible to mildew, and it is 



hoped that this novelty will fill a 



long-felt requirement as a scarlet 



Wichuraiana. 

 Silver Moon. This new Rose is of 



the same strong growth as Dr. W. 



Van Fleet. Foliage beautiful bronze- 

 green; mildew-proof. Flowers are 



very large, and produced on strong 



stems. Color silvery white, with 



prominent yellow stamens. Very fragrant and 



attractive. Strong plants from s-inch pots, 75 cts. 



each; dormant, 60 cts. each, $6 per doz. 

 Tausendschon. An entirely distinct Rose. The 



individual flowers are large and of a most elegant 



and graceful form. In color, a most delightful shade 



of soft pink. Produced in trusses. It is to many 



the most attractive and charming of the climbing 



Roses. 



Tausendschon 



White Dorothy Perkins. A counterpart of Dorothy 

 Perkins, except in color, showing a faint trace of 

 pink in bud, opening to a pure white flower. 



Wich-Moss. An interesting hybrid between Wich- 

 uraiana and the Moss Rose, Salet. Color pink, re- 

 verse of petals dark pink; flowers sweetly scented and 

 finely mossed. The vigorous branches are covered 

 with small thorns, like the Moss Rose. A truly 

 mossed, climbing Rose, flowering in trusses. 



MEMORIAL or EVERGREEN TRAILING ROSES 



This group includes the true Memorial Rose, Rosa Wichuraiana, and its hybrids that are of creeping or trailing 

 habit. They are of special value as ground-covers and are used to clothe steep banks, ramble over rocks, low walls, 

 etc. They are also extensively used for covering graves. The varieties offered are quite hardy and flower profusely 

 in June and July. The dark, glossy green foliage is ornamental at all times. No pruning is required other than 

 the removal of dead or undesired wood. 



Strong, 2-year plants, from pots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 



Strong, 2-year plants, dormant, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100. 

 Evergreen Gem. Buff, changing to creamy white; very double flowers; handsome foliage. 

 Gardenia. Bright yellow, paler as flower expands. Very vigorous. A desirable variety. 



Pink Roamer. Bright, rich pink, single flowers in clusters; showy white center and prominent orange-red stamens. 

 X'igorous growth. 



Wichuraiana. (The True Memorial Rose.) A valuable trailing species recently introduced from Japan. Pure 

 white, single flowers, with showy, golden yellow anthers, produced in clusters. The growths creep rapidly 

 on the groun-i. forming a dense mat of glossy, dark green foliage.
