ROSES 
CLIMBING ROSES 
Price, 2 yr. No. 1 Each, 55c; Per 10, $5.00. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER —Will attain a height of 
10 to 20 feet in a season; produces a marvelous 
profusion of rich and glowing crimson clusters 
during June and July. It is the supreme novelty 
among climbers and the forerunner of the splen¬ 
did array of “Ramblers” now embraced in this 
class. 
DOROTHY PERKINS —A most beautiful shell 
pink. The flowers are borne in large clusters of 
small double bloom and very sweet scented. 
EXCELSA —A sensational new hardy climbing rose. Flowers are very 
double, produced in immense trusses of thirty to forty flowers to 
each truss. Color intense crimson—new and distinct. Lasts a lifetime. 
Roses thrive best in a medium light clay soil. Before planting 
prepare the soil by spading and thoroughly working over to a depth 
of about 18 inches, fill in well-rotted stable manure while spading 
and work it carefully into the soil. After the plants are set for 
best results cut all 
branches back to within 
3 or 4 inches of the top of 
the ground. The new 
growth coming out will 
make a much nicer head 
than if the plant were not 
pruned, and the bushes 
will bloom all the better.
