MISS C. H. LIPPINCOTT 
THE NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
AMERICAN PILLAR — A single flowering 
variety of great beauty, which appeals 
to everyone. The flowers are of enor- 
mous size, three to four inches across, 
of a lovely shade of apple-blossom 
pink, with a clear white eye and cluster 
of yellow stamens. These flowers are 
borne in immense bunches. They last 
in perfection a long time, and are 
followed by brilliant red hips of ber- 
ries, which are carried late into the 
winter; and as the plant frequently re- 
tains its lovely green foliage until the 
end of November, it forms a beautiful 
decorative subject throughout the au- 
tumn months. 20 cents; two-year 
plants, 50 cents. 
BRAISWICK CHARM— For arches, per- 
golas, or for screens this variety is 
undoubtedly foremost. Deep orange- 
yellow bud shading almost to white on 
the outer petals as the flower expands. 
The nearest approach to the perpetual 
flowering Wichuraiana. 85 cents. 
CHRISTINE WRIGHT, or PINK CLIMB- 
ING AMERICAN BEAUTY— This is 
identical with the Red Climbing Ameri- 
can Beauty; flowers four inches in diam- 
eter; color bright, clear pink; im- 
mense. A flue companion for Climb- 
ing American Beauty. 20 cents; two- 
year plants, 50 cents. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY— Same 
color, size and fragrance as American 
Beauty, with the addition of the climb- 
ing habit. Good foliage, and better 
blooming qualities. One plant of this 
new Rose will produce twenty times as 
many flowers in .Tune as the old Ameri- 
can Beauty, besides blooming occasion- 
ally during the summer. Blooms three 
to four inches across; has proved per- 
fectly hardy and stands heat and 
drought as well as any Rose in our 
collection. 20 cents ; two-year plants, 
50 cents. 
VEILCHENBLAU (The Wonderful New 
Blue Rose — This is a Rambler, and 
will thrive anywhere, being perfectly 
hardy. It first opens a pink color, 
quickly changing to a decided violet- 
blue. When (he plant is in full bloom 
it presents a startling effect. 15 cents 
each; two for 25 cents; two-year plants, 
40 cents. 
SOURCE HE OR — A most beautiful va- 
riety. Large for its class. Full flow- 
ers. Color golden-yellow. A great 
acquisition, producing large panicles of 
flowers. A decided beauty. 25 cents; 
two-year plants, 50 cents. 
SWEET LAVENDER— Bright pale mauve 
or lavender, with golden stamens. Most 
distinct. Dense, dark green foliage and 
many large bunches of flowers. Very 
vigorous. 25 cents; two-year plants, 
50 cents. 
REI) DOROTHY TERKINS, or EX- 
CELSA — It is a good deal to claim for 
a Rose, but we are within bounds when 
we describe Excelsa as a brilliant 
Crimson Rambler flower on glossy, var- 
nished Wichuraiana foliage. The de- 
fects of Crimson Rambler are its un- 
sightly foliage in unseasonable weather, 
and its defoliation by insects; the in- 
fusion of Wichuraiana blood assures an 
ornamental climber which is nearly 
evergreen, and this will assure this 
lovely crimson -scarlet pillar Rose a 
place in every American garden, for it 
is quite hardy in addition to all its 
other fine points. The flowers are very 
double, produced in large trusses of 
thirty to forty, and almost every eye 
on a shoot produces large clusters of 
flowers. The color is intense crimson - 
maroon, the tips of the petals tinged 
with scarlet. The finest of all red 
climbing Roses. 20 cents; two-year 
plants, 40 cents. 
SHOWER OF GOLD— This variety pro- 
duces masses of flowers in large clus- 
ters. The color Is a deep golden -yel- 
low, with orange shadings in the cen- 
ter. Enormous lateral branches are 
produced, which are densely clad with 
glossy green foliage that resists dis- 
ease. This fills the “long felt want” 
for a hardy yellow climbing Rose. 25 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
SILVER MOON — Flowers very large, 
four and one-half inches and over in 
diameter. Pure white in color; petals 
of great substance, beautifully cupped, 
forming a clematis- like flower. The 
large bunch of yellow stamens in the 
center adds to its attractiveness. These 
flowers are borne on strong stems 12 
to 18 inches long, and are delicately 
scented. The plant is a strong grower, 
with large, glossy, bronze-green foliage. 
25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
WICHMOSS, or “BABY MOSS” — This Is 
a wonderful break in Roses, being a 
cross between the “Wichuraiana” and 
“Moss Rose.” It has retained the 
scandent habit of the “Wichuraiana,” 
making long growths five to eight feet 
in length with the glazed resistant fo- 
liage, while the bud is heavily mossed 
in bright green and has the peculiar 
aromatic odor of the moss family. The 
flowers are borne in clusters that are 
a daybreak-pink in color, opening into 
bloom that is a good semi-double in 
fullness. A climbing moss is a won- 
der; hardy. 20 cts. each; 2-year 50 cts. 
GARDENIA (The Hardy Marechal Niel) 
— This grand Rose has proven itself 
hardy in Virginia and Tennessee. It 
is a deep golden-yellow of the largest 
size. 50 cts. each; 2-year plants, $1.00.
