EVERBLOOMING CLIMBING ROSES 
Climblnji’ Jules Oravcraux. 
This is one of the most valuable evcrbloom- 
ing climbers ever introduced. The blooms 
arc immense in size, being as large or larger 
than any other Rose, even exceeding J. B. 
Clark. They are pe.rfcctly double ; white, 
tinged with blush pink with a yellow base ; 
in freedom of bloom it is superior to Mrs. 
Peary or Climbing Meteor, and should easily 
he first choice among all climbing Roses. 
Price, 1-year plants, 30 cts. ; strong 2-year 
plants, 75 cts. ; extra 3-year plants, 90 cts. 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert. White. In 
this climbing variety we have the vigorous 
constitution of Clothilde Soupe.rt, combined 
with the same wonderful freedom of bloom 
and extreme hardiness. The color effect is 
magnificent — ivory-white, shading toward the 
center to silvery rose. Throughout the en- 
tire growing season it is literally loaded 
down with its large, handsome flowers. 
Price, strong mailing size, 3-in. pots, 20 cts. ; 
heavy 2-ycar plants, 75 cts. ; 3-year, 90 cts. 
Climbing Killarney. Pink. An exact 
counterpart of Killarney in every respect, 
except that it is a vigorous climber This 
will prove a great garden Rose. Price, 
3-inch pots, 20 cts. ; 2-year plants, 60 cts. 
Climbing Meteor. 
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 literally 
loaded with flowers all the time. Price, 
strong plants, 3-inch pots, 25 cts. ; fine 2-ycar 
plants, 75 cts. 
Climbing Paul Neyron. Pink. One of 
the very best of all climbing Roses. An ex- 
tremely free and continuous bloomer, of very 
la.rge size and fine pink color. Much more 
like La France than Paul Neyron in color, 
shape and blooming qualities. Would have 
been better named “Climliing La France.” 
Price, strong mailing-size plants, 30 cts. ; 
heavy 2-year plants, 75 cts. 
Empress of China (the Apple-Blossom 
Rose). Red. This is a hardy climber that 
possesses great merit. It is a strong, ram- 
pant grower, and a very free bloomer, 
Flowers of good size from pointed buds ; soft 
red, turning lighter as it opens. It blooms 
from May to December in the open ground. 
Introduced from China. Price, strong mail- 
ing size, 20 cts. ; 2-year plants, 65 cts.

white, double, sweet. Price, mailing size,

most l)cautiful Roses. Price, strong mailing- 
size plants, 20 cts. ; 2-year plants, 50 cts.

as the bush White Cochet. Price, mailing

plants, 50 cts. 
Marechal Niel. Yellow. The world- 
renowned Rose. A beautiful, deep sulphur- 
yellow ; vc.ry full, large and exceedingly 
fragrant. It has a climbing habit, and in a 
few years will atain a large size, yielding 
thousands of beautiful golden yellow flowers. 
Especially desirable in the South. Price, 
mailing size, from 3-inch pots, 25 cts. ; fine 
2-ycar plants that made 4 to 6 feet of growth 
last summer, 65 cts. 
Mary Washington. White. Flowers are 
of medium size, pure white, sweet, perfectly 
double to the center, and borne in endless 
numbers in large clusters all summer. Vig- 
orous and rapid grower. One plant of Mary 
Washington will produce more flowers and 
buds than a dozen ordinary Roses. Its frag- 
rance is tinged with the old-fashioned musky 
fiaor so much admired in olden times. My 
stock is propagated direct from I he old plant 
at Mount Vernon, which is famous as having 
been planted by George Washington and 
named in honor of his mother. It is still a 
strong, vigorous bush, blooming profusely 
and demonstrating that the soil and climate 
of Fairfax are especially adapted to Rose- 
growing. ■ Price, strong mailing size. 20 cts. ; 
fine 2-year plants, 65 cts. ; 3-year, 90 cts. 
Mrs. ]lol)ort Pcarv loi's^ri n)^ 
White. This is, without doubt, the grandest 
of all white climbing Roses. It is the first 
and only white, hardy everblooming climbing 
Rose, and, as such, fills 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 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 beautiful. Always a won- 
derfully vigorous grower and very hardy. 
Price, strong mailing size plants, 30 cts.; 
fine 2-ycar plants, 75 cts. ; extra-fine 3-year 
plants, 90 cts. 
Reve d’Or (Golden Chain or Climbing 
Safrano). Yellow. A beautiful pillar Rose. 
Color orange-yellow or deep saffron ; good 
size, full and sweet. I have a fine stock of 
this Rose, and recommend it highly. Price, 
.strong mailing size, from 3-inch pots, 20 cts. ; 
fine 2-year plants, 65 cts.
