 Ijfariiijj; pink llowers in heavy trusses. It retains its 

 loliat;c Liiiiil late- in the fall and is very ornamental. 



Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, passing to white; 

 very douhk- iKiut-rs in beautiful, large clusters. A 

 line old climbing \ariely. 



Christine Wright. This beautiful new Wichu- 

 raiana hybrid, of which the variety Caroline Testout 

 is a parent, takes its fine color — a bright wild rose- 

 pink — from the latter, and, in part, the form, which is 

 quite double and from V ^ ^o 4 Inches in diameter. The 

 flowers are produced in cjuantities, coming singly and in 

 clusters. We regard this us one of the most attractive 

 climbing Roses. 



CliiTibing American Beauty. A fine, new, free- 

 blooming climber of excellent habit. Strong and vig- 

 orous in growth, making heavy canes from lo to 15 

 feet in a single season. Rosy crimson tlowers, produced 

 freely in June and occasionally throughout the season. 

 Very fragrant; a line Rose. 



Crimson Rambler. Well known and very popular. 

 A strong, rank grower that produces hetivy trusses of 

 brilliant, double, crimson flowers in great profusion. 



Dorothy Perkins. A splendid variety with bright, 

 glossy foliage that always looks healthy, and beautiful 

 clusters of pink flowers. It is to be highly recommended 

 for general plaining, owing to its hardiness under all 

 conditions. It is used extensively for arches and per- 

 golas, as it is a very strong-growing variety. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. Flesh- 

 pink on the outer surface, 

 deepening to rosy ilesh in 

 the center. The flowers are 

 full, very double, and carried 

 stems, resembling 



Dr. W. Van Fleet Roses 



Souvenir du President Carnot (one of the parents) in 

 color. The flower, when open, will measure 4 inches or 

 more in diameter, and is highly built in the center. 

 Strong and handsome in growth. A superb variety. 



Evangeline. Very dainty, single flowers, the center 

 being white half way up the petals, shading to a beau- 

 tiful pink. 



Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins). Has the dark, 

 glossy, disease-resisting foliage peculiar to the Wichu- 

 raiana type. This new variety is not susceptible to mil- 

 dew and other fungous diseases affecting the Crimson 

 Rambler. The growth is very vigorous and healthy in 

 appearance, resembling in this respect Dorothy Perkins. 

 Flowers are very double, produced in large trusses of 

 thirty to forty blossoms, which, individually, are un- 

 usually 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. 



Goldfinch. Soft yellow, changing to lemon-yellow 

 and white as the flowers age. Very free and distinct. 

 One of the best in this color. 



Hiawatha. The most brilliant-colored single Rose. 

 In color a brilliant carmine, with a clear white eye and 

 a mass of golden stamens. It is a glowing combination 

 of color and a variety you must know to appreciate. 



La Fiamma. Large clusters of flame-colored flowers, 

 carried on strong stems. Plants perfectly hardy and 

 vigorous, making a growth of 15 feet in a season. 



Lady Gay. Vigorous in growth, wjth flowers of deli- 

 cate cerise-pink in heavy clusters. The combination of 

 deep pink buds, shading to softer pink in the open 

 flower, combined with the glossy green foliage, makes 

 this variety one of the most charming of the Ramblers. 



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 profusion, and the variety is a strong grower. 

 Silver Moon. This new Rose is of the same strong 

 growth as Dr. W. Van Fleet. Foliage 

 beautiful bronze-green; mildew-proof. 

 Mowers are very large, and produced 

 on strong stems. Color silvery white, 

 with prominent yellow stamens. Very 

 fragrant and attractive. 



Sodenia. A scarlet Wichuraiana, 

 producing its flowers in large trusses 

 like Dorotlu Perkins, and in great pro- 

 fusion. Its foliage is hard and not sus- 

 ceptible lo mildew, and it is hoped 

 that this noNeltv will fill a long-fell re- 

 quirement as a scarlet W ichuraiana. 



Tausendschon. An cntirrU ilis- 

 tincl Rose. The individual flowers are 

 large and of a mosi elegant and grace- 

 ful forni. In color, a most delightful 

 shade of soft pink. Produced in trusses, 

 ll is to many the most attractive and 

 charming of the Climbing Roses. 



White Dorothy Perkins. A coun- 

 terpart 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 Wichuraiana and the Moss 

 Rose, Salet. Color pink, reverse of 

 petals dark pink; flowers sweetly 

 scented and finely mossed. The vig- 

 orous branches are covered with small 

 thorns, like the Moss Rose.
