CLIMBING ROSES, continued 
^Climbing Bridesmaid. What the Bridesmaid is 
to the garden this Rose is to the higher planes, 
A'here it decks the airy heights with a wonderful 
profusion of clear, deep pink 
flowers. 
^Climbing Soupert. This new 
variety stands at the head of 
hardy climbing cverblooming 
Roses, and is unequaled for 
quick and abundant bloom and 
healthy, vigorous growth. The 
flowers are z'A to 3 inches 
across, and perfectly double ; 
rich, creamy white, sometimes 
tinted with blush and borne in 
immense profusion the whole 
growing season, which is from 
June to November. 
^Climbing Souvenir de la Mal- 
maison. A sport of the old 
favorite Malmaison. Flowers 
are very large and double, of a ClimbinB Bridesmaid Rose 
beautiful flesh-color ; plant is 
of strong, climbing habit and free blooming. 
’‘Empress of China. A true perpetual bloomer, 
producing a profusion of flowers even the first 
season. Flowers of good size, 
semi -double, of a beautiful 
bright pink. Grows very fast. 
^Gainsborough. The best of 
all climbing Roses. We are 
very proud to bring this fine 
Rose to the notice of all rosa- 
rians, be they amateur or pro- 
fessional. We are fully con- 
vinced that for a hardy ever- 
blooming climber it has no 
equal, even eclipsing that grand 
variety, Mrs. Robert Peary. 
’‘Mrs. Robt. Peary (Climbing 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria). 
An exact counterpart of the 
bush form in every way except 
its climbing features. One of 
the most delightful pillar Roses. President Cleveland Rose 
*Marechal Niel. A Rose so famous as to hardly 
need a description here. The most beautiful 
large golden yellow Rose grown. 3-in. pots 
25 cts., field-grown 50 cts. 
*Mary Washington. Said to 
have originated at Mt. Vernon 
over one hundred years ago. 
It is an everblooming climbing 
Rose of vigorous and rapid 
growth, and makes a profusion 
of fine buds, which are borne 
in large clusters. The flowers 
are of medium size, pure white, 
perfectly double and very 
sweet. One of the most popu- 
lar climbers. 
*Pink Rambler (Psyche). A 
new Rose from the Crimson 
Rambler, which is identical 
with its parent in all its fine 
qualities except the color, which 
is a light salmon-rose, shaded 
with pink. A strong grower, 
and a real companion to the 
Crimson Rambler. Grown together they make 
handsome embellishments to the porch. 
“President Cleveland (Climbing Marie Guillot). 
Of a semi-climbing habit and 
otherwise identical with Marie 
Guillot, the loveliest of all 
white Roses. 
“Philadelphia Rambler. 
Differs from the Crimson Ramb- 
ler in three important points : 
The color is deeper and more 
intense; the flowers are per- 
fectly double to the center, 
very durable and of fine 
substance. The blooms are 
almost entirely free from the 
faded look found in Crimson 
Rambler. It is very free in 
both growth and bloom, and 
will be found a splendid addi- 
tion to the Crimson Rambler 
section. 
HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
If field-grown plants, received by express, unwrap the roots and plunge them into a tub of water 
for a couple of hours. Spade up the ground all around where they are to be planted (not a little 
hole) good and deep, and pulverize the soil well; then make a good-sized hole and spread the roots 
out in their natural position, and draw a little soil to them ; then pack the soil tight, using your feet, 
a brick, or any heavy article; then draw on more soil and pack again, and so on until you have them 
planted. Mave the hole deep enough to have a little hollow around the plant when it is planted, so 
as to hold the water around the plant. Plant the rose a little deeper than it was before ; then give it 
a good watering — at least a large bucketful to each plant, and keep up the watering every other day 
until you get a good soaking rain ; and if it turns out dry after, then water again as before until the 
plants have a good start.
