DR. WALTER VAN FLEET—(Hybrid Wichuriana) —This rose appeals 
to everyone by its perfectly formed, long and pointed buds of soft blush pink, 
borne on long stiff stems, which open into sweet-scented blush blossoms that 
may be as much as 4 inches in diameter. It is popular as a cut flower, for 
which purpose it is best cut in the bud stage. One of the few climbers that 
blooms early enough to produce a crop of blossoms for Memorial Day. The 
plant is a strong, vigorous climber, carrying large healthy leaves of a glossy 
green, that have a decorative value throughout the season. 
SILVER MOON—(Hybrid Wichuriana) —One of the notable achievements 
of the late Dr. Van Fleet’s plant-breeding efforts; a rose that should be in every 
collection. The long, symmetrical buds open into immense semi-double flowers, 
sometimes 5 inches in diameter, of a waxy whiteness and deliciously tea scented. 
In the center of each bloom are bright yellow stamens in profusion. A plant 
of Silver Moon, full of these blooms showing against a background of glossy 
green foliage, is an example of chaste beauty not soon forgotten. As cut 
flowers the blossoms show unusual beauty and substance. 
HIAWATHA—(Hybrid Wichuriana) —No Climbing Rose is more brilliant 
than Hiawatha. The single, crimson flow’ers, with white centers, are borne 
in large trusses over a period of about three weeks, and under favorable condi¬ 
tions a few blossoms appear later in the summer months. The foliage is light 
green, much divided, small, resistant to mildew and other diseases. 
EXCELSA—(Hybrid Wichuriana) —Bears medium-sized, perfectly double 
flowers of garnet crimson in large trusses late in the season, carrying its blos¬ 
soms after most of the climbers are through. The vine is vigorous, healthy, and 
has an abundant foliage that is resistant to mildew. The flowers are scentless. 
Particularly good for covering fences, where, in addition to its great ornamental 
value, it serves the purpose of a defensive hedge. Also very good as a bank cover. 
AMERICAN PILLAR—(Multiflora) —The large single flowers are of a 
deep pink color, the base of each petal clear white. Thus each blossom, on 
close inspection, shows a mass of yellow stamens, surrounded by an inner circle 
of white, and an outer circle of pink. The general effect of the plant while in 
full bloom is so gorgeous as to be almost objectionable unless the planting has 
been skilfully planned to give a proper setting for such a mass of strong color. 
We have seen it well-placed against a background of Evergreens. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER — (Hybrid Wichuriana)— Surpasses in 
brilliancy any other scarlet rose, and the flowers remain in good condition for 
a long time. It is a vivid scarlet, and the color does not burn or fade. The 
bush is stiffer than most of the climbers; therefore it may be used for a pillar 
rose. It does not climb very high. As with American Pillar, a proper back¬ 
ground and setting are essential for the best display of its beauty.
