 late in the fall and is very ornamental. 



Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, passing to white; very 

 double flowers in beautiful large clusters. A fine, old 

 climbing variety. 



Christine Wright. This beautiful new Wichuraiana 

 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 3 ' 2 to 4 inches in diameter. The flowers are pro- 

 duced in quantities, coming singly and in clusters. 



Climbing American Beauty. A fine, f'ree-Llooming 

 climber of excellent habit. Strong and vigorous in 

 growth, making heavy canes from lo to 15 feet in a 

 single season. Rosy crimson flowers, produced freely in 

 June and occasionally throughout the season. Very 

 fragrant; a fine Rose. 



Crimson Rambler. Well known and very popular. 

 A strong, rank grower that produces heavy 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 planting, owing to its hardiness under all 

 conditions. It is a very strong-growing variety. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. Flesh-pink on the outer surface, 

 deepening to rosy flesh in the center. The flowers are 

 full, ver\ double, and carried on good stems, resembling 

 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 

 being white halfway up the petals, shading to a beau- 

 tiful pink. 



Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins). 

 Has the dark, glossy, disease-resisting 

 foliage peculiar to the Wichuraiana 

 type. The growth is very vigorous and 

 healthy in appearance, resembling in 

 this respect Dorothy Perkins. Flowers 

 are very double, produced in large 

 trusses of 30 to 40 blossoms. The color 

 is intense crimson - maroon, tinged 

 scarlet on the edges of the petals. 



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 bril- 

 liant 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 ap- 

 preciate. 



La Fiamma. Large clusters of 

 flame-colored flowers, carried on strong 

 stems. Plants perfectly hardy and 

 vigorous, making a growth of 1 5 feet 

 in a season. 



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 open flower, combined 

 with the glossy green foliage, makes 

 this variety one of the most charming 

 of the Ramblers. 



Mme. H. Despinay. Salmon-orange, turning to 

 pale pink. Vigorous, but should have winter protec- 

 tion north of Philadelphia. 



Newport Fairy. With flowers of deep pink, shading 

 lighter toward the center, this is one of the most valu- 

 able single Roses. Its large clusters are borne in great 

 profusion and the variety is a strong grower. 



Paul's Carmine Pillar. Large, single, bright rosy 

 carmine flowers, appearing earlier than other climbing 

 Roses. A showy pillar Rose. --5 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 



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 pro- 

 duced on strong stems. Color silvery white, with prom- 

 inent yellow stamens. Very fragrant and attractive. 



Sodenia. A scarlet Wichuraiana, producing its 

 flowers in large trusses like Dorothy Perkins, and in 

 great profusion. 



Tausendschon. An entirely distinct Rose. The in- 

 dividual 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 manv, the most 

 attractive and charming of the Climbing Roses. 



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. Cr.lor pink, reverse 

 of petals dark pink; flowers sweetly scented and finely
