Pink Dorothy Perkins —A splendid new climb¬ 
ing rose. In foliage and habit of growth it is 
remarkably like Crimson Rambler. The flow¬ 
ers are double, of good size, and borne in clus¬ 
ters. The petals are very prettily rolled back 
and crinkled, the buds remarkably handsome, 
color a clear shell-pink and holds a long time 
without fading. 
Red Dorothy Perkins —It is a good deal to 
claim for a rose, but we are within bounds when 
we describe Excelsa as a brilliant Crimson 
Rambler, flowers on glossy varnished Wichurai- 
ana foliage. The flowers are very double, pro¬ 
duced in large trusses of thirty to forty and 
almost every eye on a shoot produces clusters 
of flowers. The color is intense crimson ma¬ 
roon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. 
The finest of all Crimson Ramblers. 
White Dorothy Perkins —This beautiful rose 
is the counterpart of the well-known Dorothy 
Perkins, except in the color, which is pure 
white, but it is quite as hardy and vigorous. 
It has now become a universal favorite. 
Silver Moon (Hardy Climber) —Blooms very 
large, three or four inches in diameter, pure 
white in color and of good substance, beauti¬ 
fully cupped, forming a clematis-like flower.
