* Baltimore Belle 
Pale blush, variegated carmine, rose and 
white; very double; flowers in beautiful 
clusters. 
* Climbing Meteor 
The finest crimson ever-blooming climbing 
Rose. It is a rich, velvety crimson, much 
like the forcing Rose Meteor, of which it is 
a sport, and an extremely strong-growing 
variety, making shoots 12 to 15 feet long in a 
single season under favorable circumstances. 
It has the same characteristics as its parent, 
and will give unalloyed satisfaction. 
* Climbing Bridesmaid 
What Bridesmaid is to the garden this 
Rose is to the higher planes, where it decks 
the airy heights with a 
wonderful profusion of 
clear, deep pink flowers. 
^Climbing Wootton 
N e w, h a r d y , e v e r- 
blooming crimson Rose, 
To our mind this is one 
of the best Roses in this 
book, for these reasons: 
It is hardy, has no weak 
spots, grows with won- 
derful vigor, blooms con- 
tinually throughout the 
growing season, produc- 
ing flowers that are noth- 
ing less than superb, 
both in size and profu- 
sion of flowers; color a 
bright magenta - red ; 
flowers large and petals 
heavy and leathery; 
beautiful buds. An all- 
right climber. 
*Climbing Soupert 
The wonderful new 
hardy ever - blooming 
climbing Rose. This 
new variety stands at the 
head of hardy climbing 
everblooming Roses, and 
is unequaled for quick 
and abundant bloom and 
healthy, vigorous 
growth. The flowers are 
two and a half to three 
inches across, and per- 
fectly double; rich 
creamy white, sometimes 
tinted with blush and 
borne in immense profu- 
sion the whole growing 
season, from June to 
November. 
*Crimson Rambler 
deep, rich crimson color, like blood-colored 
velvet; when cut they last two weeks in 
water, and fully a month on the bush. 
Climbing Perle des Jardins 
A vigorous climber that meets all the re- 
quirements, and is as charming in color and 
size ns the standard Perle; golden yellow. 
^Climbing Souvenir de la 
Malmaison 
A sport of the old favorite Malmaison. 
Flowers are very large and double, of a beau- 
tiful flesh color; plant is of strong, climbing 
habit and free-blooming. 
^Empress of China 
A true perpetual bloomer, producing a pro- 
fusion of flowers even 
the first season. Flow- 
ers of good size, semi- 
double, of a beautiful 
bright pink. Grows very 
fast. 
*Gainsborough 
The best of all climb- 
ing Roses. We are very 
proud to bring this fine 
Rose to the notice of all 
rosarians, be they ama- 
teur or professional. We 
are fully convinced that 
for a hardy ever-bloom- 
ing climber it has no 
equal, even eclipsing 
that grand variety, Mrs. 
Robert Peary. For 
beauty and size we place 
this variety at the head 
of the Hybrid Teas. The 
foliage is an exact coun- 
terpart of its parent, 
Viscountess Folkestone. 
Its delicate colors are 
hard to describe, being 
delicately tinted flesh, 
almost white, and lus- 
trous as satin; when in 
full bloom it resembles 
a large, fine, white, fluffy 
peony, but without a 
suggestion of stiffness, 
often measuring 8 to 9 
inches in diameter. An 
enthusiastic admirer de- 
scribes it as a Rose re- 
minding him of a beauti- 
ful girl wearing a light- 
colored Gainsborough 
hat, ornamented with 
white ostrich plumes. 
Hence the suggestion of 
its name. Be sure and 
try this grand Rose. 
15 cts. each.
