HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 
BALTIMORE BELLE — Pale blush, nearly white; the best white climbing 
rose of its class. 
CHEROKEE SINGLE — A distinct and beautiful climbing rose of rare mer- 
it. A most vigorous and clean grower, entirely free from disease. Flowers 
large, clear white and single, full of bright yellow stamens in the center, 
making a very attractive appearance; foliage distinct and one of the valuable 
features of the plant; its color is a very rich, dark, glossy green; surface 
smooth, always bright and shining free from dust. Will cover a porch quick-

CRIMSON RAMBLER — This superb novelty was originally received from 
Japan. The flowers are produced in great pyramidal panicles or trusses, each

one and a half inches in diameter and remaining perfectly on the plant up- 
wards of two weeks with the freshness of color unimpaired; the foliage is 
bright green and glossy, and contrasts finely with the bright crimson of the 
flowers; for verandas, walls, pillars and fences this rose cannot be excelled; 
a remarkably vigorous grower, making shoots from ten to fifteen feet long in 
a season.

sistant Superintendent of Horticulture at the Pan-American, says regarding 
the Dorothy Perkins; “This has exactly the habit of the well known Crim-

blooms the first season early, late and all the time. Without exception one 
of the most valuable and popular roses now offered. It is a rose that every-

until December it produces its flowers in great profusion. It is absolutely
