PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. Expert rose growers agree that this is the best and 
most valuable climbing red rose for home planting. The full, double, scarlet flowers 
cover the entire bush in a solid vivid mass of flaming red, making a bi'illiant display for 
a long time. The petals do not fade like many climbing roses, but retain their bright 
color, and remain in bloom for from two to four weeks. National Rose Society gold 
medal and cup for the best Climbing Rose. 
Hardy Climbing Roses 
Thege Roses are necessary for the home, giving it a touch of 
beauty and calling forth more admiration than any other orna¬ 
mental plants. They are used extensively for screening unde¬ 
sirable views of buildings and create most delightful and refresh¬ 
ing shade when used on porches, verandas, pillars and fences. All 
are hardy everywhere and require very little care and attention 
to produce an amazing profusion of exquisite hued blossoms.

ous grower, absolutely hardy, 
throwing strong flowering 
canes in one season which are 
covered with dark, glossy fo¬ 
liage that is immune to dis¬ 
ease and insects. The Roses 
are 3 to 4 inches in diameter, 
are produced on individual 
stems, vivid rosy-crimson in 
color, and with the same de¬ 
licious fragrance as the old 
American Beauty. 
LE REVE. We consider 
this variety the best of all 
yellow climbers. Golden yel¬ 
low buds open into bright 
yellow semi-double flowers. Climbing American Beauty 
A profuse bloomer, and probably fades the least of any yellow climber.

at base. A vigorous grower.

type of climbing Rose brought to this

pearl-pink splashed with carmine. The large semi-double flowers, often measuring 
5 inches across, are borne on 12 to 15 inch stems. One of the earliest to bloom, 
free flowering and fragrant, a characteristic which is seldom found in hardy 
climbers. The flowers are followed by large attractive fruits. A vigorous grower 
and resistant to disease. One-year-old plants, 35c each, postpaid. Choice, 2-year- 
old, field grown plants, 65c each, postpaid. 
Rambler Roses mL^.zo 
The Ramblers are a class of climbing Roses of vigorous habit which produce their 
flowers in clusters. While the individual blossoms are not large, the immense clus¬ 
ters are borne in great profusion, and make a gorgeous showing. You surely have 
a place for some of this class of climbing Roses. You can use them on porches, 
arbors, arches, pergolas, clothes-posts, fences and old stumps of trees. Hardy every¬ 
where.

to a metallic blue. One of the most rampant growers, covering a large porch in a 
single season; very showy. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. Flowers in large clusters; very double, with prettily crin¬ 
kled petals; remarkably pretty pointed buds; beautiful clear shell pink in color, 
lasting a long time without fading. The best pink rambler.

ters of rich scarlet. 
WHITE DOROTHY. A pure white sport of the well-known Dorothy Perkins. 
YELLOW RAMBLER (Goldfinch). Deep yellow buds borne in large clusters, open¬ 
ing into cream colored flowers with yellow centers. A strong grower and a free 
bloomer. Fragrant.

same plant so many different colored flowers that it is impossible to describe the 
variations, hence the fitting name, “Thousand Beauties.” Blooms profusely during 
June and July; double flowers in large clusters. The colors run from tender rose 
through the intermediate shades of bright rose and carmine, with white and yellow 
tints showing.
