W. R. Gray, Oakton, Fairfax County. Virginia 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert 
of all white Climbing Roses. It is the 
first and only white, hardy, ever- 
blooming Climbing Rose, and as such 
meets a demand that has never before 
been supplied. Small plants bloom 
continually the first season, just as the 
parent. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, 
does. The flowers are something grand. 
They are the equal of the finest and 
most beautiful cut-flower Roses. Of 
splendid substance. They are extra 
large, full, deep and double, and are 
produced on long, stiff stems like a 
forcing or cut-flower Rose. The buds 
are long and pointed, exquisitely 
modeled and gracefully finished. Both 
in bud and flower it is truly beautihil. 
Always a wonderfully vigorous grower 
and very hardy. Price, strong mailing- 
size plants, 10 cts.; fine 2-yr. plants, 
30 cts.; extra-fine 3-yr. plants, 50 cts. 
Empress of China. The Apple- 
Blossom Rose. This is a new hardy 
climber that possesses great merit. It 
is a strong, rampant grower, and a 
very free bloomer. Flowers of good 
size from pointed buds; soit red, turn- 
ing lighter as it opens. It blooms from 
May to December in the open ground. 
Introduced from China. Price, strong 
mailing-size, 10 cts.; 2-yr. plants, 25c. 
Crimson Rambler 
CLIMBING ROSES, continued 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert. In 
this climbing variety we have the vig- 
orous constitution of Clothilde Soupert 
combined with the same wonderful 
freedom of bloom and extreme hardi- 
ness. This new variety in a single sea- 
son, even in small plants, will grow 15 
to 25 feet, producing cluster after 
cluster of the finest-formed flowers. In 
form they arc distinct, large, round 
and flat, with beautifully imbricated 
petals; perfectly full and double and 
deliciously sweet. The color effect is 
magnificent — ivory - white, shading 
toward the center to silvery rose. 
Throughout the entire growing season 
it is literally loaded down with its 
large handsome flowers. Price, strong 
mailing-size, 3-in. pots, 10 cts.; heavy 
2-yr. plants, 30 cts. 
Gloire de Dijon. This magnificent 
Rose is always scarce and difficult to 
obtain true. The flowers are large,

scented; color rich, creamy amber 
tinted with blush. One of the most 
beautiful Roses we know. Price, strong 
mailing-size plants, 15 cts.; 2-yr. 
plants. 40 cts.
