April, 1914 
well into the Winter. “Hiawatha” 
is a brilliant single, with long sprays 
of ruby carmine and white centre. 
“Silver Moon,” another line single, 
resembling the old “Cherokee”; the 
Bowers are white against which the 
bright yellow stamens show to per- 
fection. 
“I.ady Ciay” is a double variety 
of vigorous growth, and one of the 
most desirable for an arbor of 
Roses. Its Bowers are a beautiful 
shade of cerise pink, forming a 
splendid combination with the ileep 
green foliage. 
“Dorothy Perkins” and “Debu- 
tante” both bear early clusters of 
soft pink Bowers. “Dr. \^^ \ an 
Fleet” will become a fa\orite Rose 
when better known. It is Besh pink 
in color and very fragrant. 
“Tausendchon” is practically a 
Rose without a thorn. Its Bowers 
when opening are pink and turn to 
rosy carmine when expanded. 
“Sweetheart” has a pure white double Bower and glossy 
foliage, d'he “Paradise Rose” is a gem amongst the slngle- 
Bowered climbers. Its blossoms are borne in large clusters 
arul form a study in pink and white. 
Kven where no attempt is maile to make a Rose garden 
at least there is room for one or more of the climbers, 
cither on the porch or over tlie garden gate. For outdoor 
culture in the South, or lor those who are the happy pos- 
Not in bloom, Rambler Roses are attractive in foliage 
terrace or steep bank, 
sessors of a greenhouse m the 
North, there is probably no climbing 
Rose that equals the “Marechal 
Neil”: it is superb. When the buds 
are half open it makes a boutonniere 
for the most fastidious in the land. 
The Bowers are bright golden yel- 
low, while its foliage is an attraction 
in itself. When grown in a green- 
hnuse it requires a temperature of 
3S to 40 in Winter and will develop 
liner Bowers than when forced. Give 
it all the ventilation possible and as 
Spring approaches you will see the 
queen of climbing Roses at its best.

For the semi-wild garden, the 
Wichuriana types are invaluable, as 
an undergrowth for cedars they are 
grand. Their long, slender growths 
covered with glossy green foliage 
trailing over rocks and partly veil- 
ing a cedar here and there, form a 
charming picture. Where there is 
difficulty in keeping good grass on a 
try the “iMemorial” Rose, one of 
the finest of this type. It will grow fifteen feet in a season. 
Its Bowers are single and pure white. They are produced 
very freely during the end of May and June. “Manda’s 
d'riumph," a double white variety, is very fragrant. 
“(iardenia” is a very attractive variety, the buds of 
which are bright yellow, d'he color of the expanded flow-
