ALL FIELD GROWN 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY —American

characteristics of its relative, including form 
and fragrance. Healthy foliage and has strong- 
climbing habit of growth; the abundant bloom 
being in prime before the June show of the bush

Excelsa Climbing Rose 
Gardenia 
CRIMSON 
RAMBLER— 
Will attain a 
height of 10 to 
20 feet in a sea¬ 
son; produces a 
marvelous pro¬ 
fusion of rich 
and glowing 
crimson clus¬ 
ters during 
June and July. 
It is the su¬ 
preme novelty among climbers and the forerunner of the 
splendid array of “Ramblers.” 
DOROTHY PERKINS —Beautiful shell pink. The flowers 
are borne in large clusters of small double bloom and 
very sweet scented. Foliage smoother and darker than 
the Crimson Rambler. This is undoubtedly the thriftiest, 
showiest, and most practical of the older pink ramblers, 
and trails its riotous clusters over more verandas, win¬ 
dows and trellises than any other variety. 
DOCTOR VAN FLEET —One of the newest type of climb¬ 
ers and very hardy. Flowers when open run four inches 
or more in diameter in which it compares with the Tea 
class. Center built high, petals undulated and cupped. 
Color is a remarkably delicate shade of flesh-pink. Ad¬ 
mirable cutting variety with stems 12 to 18 inches long. 
EXCELSA —A sensational new hardy climbing rose, sometimes called “Red Dorothy Per¬ 
kins.” This great new rose is nearly evergreen and is absolutely hardy. Flowers very 
double, produced in immense trusses. Intense crimson; new and distinct. 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD (The New Everblooming Scarlet Rambler) —Commences flower¬ 
ing in the spring or early summer and produces repeatedly. It blooms very profusely on 
young wood the first year. Very effective for covering walls, trellises or arches, equally 
attractive for table decorations. 
GARDENIA —Bright yellow, cream color when open; very fragrant and free; early flow¬ 
ering. This is the hardy Marechal Niel; double yellow flowering. 
MARY WALLACE —Hardy as far north as central Ohio. Blooms two or three times 
during the summer months. A pillar rose supporting itself in a bushy growth 6 to 8 
feet high. Bright clear rose-pink with salmon at base of petals. The largest Hybrid 
Wichuraiana. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER —A wonderful Rose for trellis or pergola. Winner of Gold 
Medal as best new climbing rose at National Rose SocieTy’s Exhibition. Scarlet, shaded 
crimson. Corresponds to the Climbing American Beauty and Dr. Van Fleet as to size, 
shape and habit. Blooms very long, holding flower after many June bloomers have 
dropped their petals. 
SHOWER OF GOLD—(Golden Yellow), (Hardy June Blooming), (Improved Yellow Rambler) 
—Deep golden yellow, orange shadings. Beautiful metallic foliage. A fine yellow rambler. 
SILVER MOON —Single rose of enormous size, pure white with a! center of golden 
stamens. Beautiful, glossy, bronzy-green foliage. Unusually luxuriant growth. One of 
the best. 
NEW CLIMBING ROSES 
CHAPLIN’S PINK CLIMBER —New variety in climbers originating from a cross between 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber and American Pillar. Shape and size of the individual flower are 
the same as Paul’s Scarlet, but the color is a rich, lively pink. Flowers borne in im¬ 
mense trusses. 
PRIMROSE —C. Midseason. A primrose-yellow Rose with flowers borne in trusses of 
2 to 5 on a vigorous, free flowering, healthy plant. 
MME. GREGOIRE STAEOHELIN —A new, hardy, vigorous climber from Spain. The long, 
pointed buds are at first crimson, striped carmine, opening into a large semi-double, 
cup-shaped flower of a lovely pale carmine-pink color. It is a distinct novelty in 
climbers. This Rose will become extremely popular on its merits alone. Fragrance very 
pleasing. 
BABY RAMBLERS 
BABY RA3IBLER —Light crimson with 
fine heads of small flowers; old favorite. 
IDEAL —Small dark scarlet blooms, im¬ 
mense compact bunches. A plant quite 
vigorous, rather long branching, pro¬ 
fuse bloomer.

ing flowers of glowing orange scarlet; 
borne in clusters. 35c each. 
ROSA HUGONIS 
A New Bush Rose from China 
Like many other rare floral gems from 
the Orient, this variety is spectacular in 
its exotic beauty. Slender sprays in all 
directions, gracefully arching beneath 
loads of bright yellow, single flowers.
