HARDY CLIMBING AND RAMBLER ROSES. 
The new and improved varieties of Climbing Roses here offered are a 
great addition to the Rose garden. They can be used not only as climbers, 
but can be grown in pillar form and 
can also be tied down and grown in 
beds. There is nothing that equals 
them for effect, on account of their 
profusion of bloom. They can also 
be planted to advantage among 
shrubbery and on the borders of Rock 
Gardens, etc., and when used in this 
way, produce exquisite effects.
