EVERBLOOMING CLIMBING ROSES 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert. 
White. In this climbing variety wc have 
the vigorous constitution of Clothilde 
Soupert combined with the same wonderful 
freedom of bloom and extreme hardiness. 
This new variety, in a single season, even 
in small plants, will grow 15 to 25 feet, 
producing cluster after cluster of the 
finest-formed flowers. In form they are 
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-inch pots, 10 cts. ; heavy 
2-year plants, 30 cts. 
Climbing Crimson Baby Rambler 
A magnificent hardy, cverblooming Rose. 
This variety, introduced only recently, 
combines the wonderful everblooming 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert. Grows rapidly 
qualities of the Crimson Baby Rambler, 
with the climbing habit of the true Crim- 
son Rambler. This makes it invaluable 
for use wherever a climbing Rose may 
be employed. Planted with taller-growing 
kinds, it prolongs their blooming season 
and removes their bareness of foliage near 
the ground. The flowers, of brilliant crim- 
son, are borne in clusters throughout the 
summer; the foliage is glossy and thick, 
resisting the attacks of insect enemies. 
My stock of this great variety is limited. 
Price, mailing-size plants, 15 cts.; strong 
2- year plants, 50 cts. 
Climbing Killarney. Pink. An exact 
counterpart of Killarney, in every respect, 
e.xcept that it is a vigorous climber. This 
will prove a great garden Rose. Price, 
3- inch pots, 10 cts.; 2-year plants, 30 cts. 
Climbine Meteor. Velvety red. 
( j r a n d new 
Rose, the acme of all red climbing Roses. 
It is a free, persistent bloomer, and will 
make a growth from 10 to 15 feet in a 
season. We do not hesitate to place 
it at the head of the list of all Roses 
for summer blooming, as it will 
make a strong growth, and is liter- 
ally loaded with flowers all the time. 
Price, strong plants, 3-inch pots, 
15 cts.; fine 2-year plants, 35 cts. 
Climbing Paui Neyron. Pink. 
One of the very best of all climbing 
Roses. An extremely free and con- 
tinuous bloomer, of very large size 
and fine pink color. Much more 
like La France than Paul Neyron 
in color, shape and blooming quali- 
ties. Would have been better named 
‘‘Climbing La France.” Price, 
strong mailing-size plants, 15 cts.; 
heavy 2-year plants, 30 cts. 
Cilmbing Wootton. Scarlet. 
This superb new climbing Tea Rose 
is a prime favorite wherever it is 
introduced. The flowers are large, 
full, deep and double, and of a 
beautiful velvety red color; the 
perfume is unusually rich and 
elegant. Price, 10 cts.; 3-inch pots, 
15 cts.; 2-year plants, 25 cts. 
Empress ol China (The Apple- 
Blossom Rose). Red. This is a 
hardy climber that possesses great

grower, and a very free bloomer.

buds; soft red, turning lighter as 
it opens. It blooms from May to 
December in the open ground.
