MAY'S 1934 CATALOG OF SEEDS AND NURSERY STOCK 
1^0 matter whether you plant climbers on your porch, on the fence 
or build a trellis for them — be sure and put them somewhere. 
The climbing rose has one great advantage over all other roses; that 
is, it is extremely hardy. When once established will last an entire 
lifetime. The dark red of Paul’s Scarlet, delicate rich pink of Dor¬ 
othy Perkins and the charming whiteness of her sister, the White 
Dorothy Perkins, will give you in a few years thousands of roses to 
pick and enjoy.

A BLAZE, the Ever Blooming Scarlet Climber. The new sensa- 
^ tion in roses. A cross between Paul’s Scarlet and Gruss an 
Teplitz, two beautiful, hardy, vigorous parents. This variety 
is growing successfully all over the United States. You will 
find it one of the finest roses in your garden. The original 
plant is now in its third year, covers a trellis 6x9 ft., and as 
I write this Catalog, is in full bloom, with flowers even 
larger than Paul’s Scarlet. It has been blooming continuously 
since Spring. I am writing this on the 22nd day of September 
so you can see it is a continuous bloomer. 
Blaze produces flowers on both old and new growth. It gets 
its name from the fiery color of Paul’s Scarlet and the ever- 
blooming habit of Gruss an Teplitz. I guarantee them to 
grow and bloom. (Pictured in color on page 38.) Plant Patent 
No. 10. $2.00 each, postpaid. 
LGOLDUN CLIMBER. (Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James.) The pic- 
^ ture on page 19 shows the beautiful coloring, large size 
and perfect form of the individual flowers on this new, beau¬ 
tiful Golden Climber. Golden Climber has handsome glossy 
foliage, green wood and red thorns, and is extremely hardy. 
It produces blooms just like your Hybrid Tea Roses. After 
the first burst of bloom in the Spring, magnificent flowers 
can again be expected and “The Last Rose of Summer” may 
well come from Golden Climber. Plant Patent No. 28. $2.00 
each, postpaid.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. An old-fash¬ 
ioned favorite that’s always loaded 
with big clusters of double brilliant 
red roses. 
CLIMBING- AMERICAN BEAUTY. 
Big, deep pink roses—several on a 
stem. I like it because it's fragrant. 
★ PAUL’S SCARLET. Here’s my 
favorite of the hardy reds. The 
most brilliant colored climber I 
know. It will just take your breath 
to see it loaded with big, long 
stemmed, dazzling, red roses. See 
Color Illustration, Page 38. 
Pink 
DR. VAN FLEET. Long pointed bud 
opens into large cameo pink bloom 
on long strong stem. Not a cluster 
rose. Delicate perfume. 
MARY WALLACE. This magnificent 
climbing Rose is early, and is the 
last and best offering of the famous 
Rose grower. Dr. Van Fleet. It is 
becoming popular even in the far 
North. This Rose was one of the 
most charming and most interesting 
sights in Shenandoah last year. The 
flowers are bright pink, and are full 
double, 20 petals to each flower. Will 
climb 15 to 20 feet.

Flower Clusters of Golden Salmon 
CONTINUOUS BLOOMING RARY 
RAMRLERS 
These roses are dwarf growing. Bush is very compact 
and bears immense clusters of flowers all over the bush. 
They will make a splendid flowering hedge that will be 
hardy, low growing, dense and compact, or a fine bed 
planting. The strong, 2 year old plants I offer you will 
bloom for you the first season. They start blooming just 
a few short weeks after planted. They are fine for ceme¬ 
tery planting too, because of their hardiness and continu¬ 
ous blooming qualities. 
★ RED IDEAL. Six years ago I planted the first Ideal 
Baby Rose that I think was introduced in this ter¬ 
ritory. It has been blooming in my yard ever since. The 
quality of the bloom is a richer red than any other of 
the crimson I have ever seen. In fact, the color is a 
garnet red. I know it is hardy in the Farm Belt and I 
can heartily recommend it. See Color Illustration, Page 
38 
GOLDEN SALMON. New and beautiful. The color is a 
beautiful red-salmon overlaid with a color of orange and 
gold. The flowers are double, thickly clustered; one of 
the surest bloomers. 
CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER. One of our most popular 
Baby roses because it is always covered with flowers 
all summer long. The color is a light crimson, many 
flowers in a cluster. 
YELLOW GEORGE ELGER. A golden coppery color 
turning to a clear yellow upon opening. I consider this 
the only satisfactory yellow Baby Rose. 
BABY ELLEN POULSEN. This is a vigorous flowering, 
popular baby rose. Very full flowers, in large clusters, 
a soft rose pink in color. Fragrant. 
WHITE CATHERINE ZEIMET. A wonderful Rose for 
hedging purposes. The bush bears very large clusters 
of small, double, pure white flowers. 
Hardy Roses for Yard and Decorative 
Planting 
★ GROOTENDORST. The ideal garden rose 
blooming all summer. One of our finest 
roses for landscape work for hedging. Grows 
about 4 feet, and is covered with red flowers 
growing in clusters. The picture on page 38 
shows you the dazzling effect of the flowers. 
WICHURIANA or MEMORIAL. Wild Rose from 
Korea; flowers during June and July. The 
foliage is of a leathery texture. Fragrant, 
single, pure white flowers. Handsome for 
covering rockeries, mounds or embankments, 
especially for cemetery planting. 
SWEET BRIER. Famous for fragrant foliage. 
Bright pink flowers, white center. 
HUGONIS (The Golden Rose of China.) Blooms 
three weeks earlier than most other roses. 
Every branch is lined on both sides to the

about 6 feet in height, and has beautiful cut 
leaved, fern-like foliage. 
„ PERSIAN YELLOW. A fragrant, semi-double 
yellow bush rose that you have seen many times in your Mother’s 
garden. Very hardy and can be planted all over the United States. 
Hugonis Rose 
Eskimo Reantios ( Rugosa Roses) 
Here is a wonderful garden rose. The Rugged 
Rugosa. Someone said it would be hardy at the 
North Pole if roses grew there. After the first year 
forget them; they take care of themselves.
