Hardy Climbing Roses 
Hardy Climbing Roses are undoubtedly the easiest Roses 
to grow and yield the most spectacular returns for the time 
and effort spent upon them. They are hardy, although in 
regions where severe below-zero temperatures occur they 
should be protected by laying them down and covering them 
with burlap, leaves, boards, or earth. Hardy climbers bloom 
on shoots which arise during the spring from wood which grew 
the summer before. To have fine bloom it is necessary in all 
cases to preserve the wood of the previous year and refrain 
from pruning them in the spring. The proper time to prune 
is in the summer, after they have finished blooming.

existent in climbers. 75 cts. each; $3.25 for 5. 
New Dawn. This hardy, everblooming Rose is identical 
with Dr. W. Van Fleet, but has, in addition, the valuable 
quality of producing blooms through the summer and autumn.

high-pointed center, developing into large flowers with a 
delicate fragrance. The flowers are borne in graceful clusters 
at the ends of stems 18 inches or more in length, and are ideal 
for cutting. $1.50 each; $6.75 for 5. Plant Patent No. 1.

Liquid manure, made by 
mixing sheep manure and 
water, one-half gallon to a 
plant every two weeks, is bene¬ 
ficial during blooming season. 
Don’t starve your Roses. 
Give winter-protection by 
hilling with earth late in fall 
after the ground has frozen, 
adding a few inches of weight¬ 
ed leaves above. 
To insure selection and 
early delivery, order early. 
This is especially necessary 
for spring plantings. Roses 
can be safely planted in late 
spring if they are pot grown. 
When mildew in damp 
weather whitens and shrivels 
the plant, or when black-spot 
causes leaves to yellow and 
drop off, spray or dust at 
once with “Pomo-Green with 
Nicotine.” Fallen leaves can 
be burned. Arsenate of lead 
is good for flying pests. Rose 
bugs are best knocked off into 
a can of kerosene.
