CLIMBING ROSES— Continued 
Inermis. Almost all that can be asked for in a climbing Rose is in 
this one variety. It is the earliest climber to come into bloom; 
it is the most hardy of all my climbers; it is absolutely thornless; 
it has a delicious rose pink blossom and is a rank grower. The only 
thing against it is that it sometimes get mildew. This can easily 
be prevented by using Massey Dust as suggested on page 3. 75c. 
Jacotte. Not always hardy, but with a little protection it gives a 
spectacular display in midseason. The large 2to 3 inch semi¬ 
double blossoms are borne several together on an average growing 
plant of trailing habit. The moderately fragrant flowers are cop¬ 
pery yellow, tinted coppery red. 75c. 
Kitty Kininmonth. One of the delightful Australian varieties 
that blooms over a long period. The broad, bright pink blossoms 
are supremely lovely. They are very large, semi-double, four to 
five inches across, and the glowing pink color is enhanced by the 
golden stamens. The plant is a vigorous, upright grower. $1.25. 
Le Reve. A delightful yellow variety that serves well as either a 
pillar or a climber. It is not quite as deep a yellow as Star of 
Persia, but is a soft Primrose that is maintained until the petals 
fall. The large flat blossoms are about four inches across and 
make a marvelous sight when in full bloom. 75c. 
Mary Wallace. Originated by Dr. W. Van Fleet, the famous Amer¬ 
ican rosarian. It is a dooryard Rose, making a strong, graceful 
shrub, or it may be used as a climber, as it sends out very vigorous 
shoots. It bears large semi-double flowers of a bright rose-pink 
on long stems. 75c. 
Max Graf. The perfect Rose for trailing purposes. It covers the 
ground rapidly and prevents banks from sliding. Broad, shining 
pink single blossoms are produced abundantly in June. It is cov¬ 
ered with heavy deep green foliage that is very persistant. 75c. 
M iss Marion Manifold. Large globular flowers of a velvety scar¬ 
let are borne several together on medium length stems. They are 
double, very lasting and fragrant. The plant is a vigorous upright 
climber and an abundant bloomer. 75c. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin (Spanish Beauty). Large ruffled blos¬ 
soms unlike any other climber are produced with lavishness that 
make a gorgeous sight. The cupped blossoms are a flesh pink 
flushed with crimson and the petals are attractively curled. The 
growth is vigorous but not absolutely hardy. 75c. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. All who see its numerous, well-formed 
glistening scarlet flowers are immediately thrilled by it. If it does 
not climb as well as some others the first year, the reward is sure 
the second, and it is a garland of bloom each succeeding year. 75c. 
Scorcher. Another one of the charming Australian varieties. The 
stunning flowers of gorgeous scarlet are semi-double and open to 
about four inches. The brilliant blossoms are lasting and slightly 
fragrant. They bloom over a long period and last year, even dui- 
ing a severe drought, they bloomed almost continuously until the 
first week of August. The growth is vigorous and upright. Illus¬ 
trated in color on page 12. $1.25. 
Silver Moon. A beautiful climber all through the growing season, 
on account of the heavy, rich, disease-resistant foliage. Pure white, 
semi-double flowers, about four inches across, enhanced by the 
golden yellow stamens, are borne in profusion on Wyant grown 
plants. One of the most vigorous of all climbers. 75c. 
Star of Persia. A really yellow climber which stays good golden 
yellow until the blossoms fall. The semi-double flowers are about 
three inches across and bloom early in profusion. A pillar of it is 
a wonderful shower of yellow bloom which lasts for weeks. 75c. 
The New Dawn. This new everblooming Dr. Van Fleet climber 
has created a great sensation among Rose lovers. It has all of 
the wonderful characteristics of the old favorite Dr. Van Fleet, 
in size, color, formation of flowers and vigor, besides giving inter¬ 
mittent bloom during the Summer and Fall. Plant Patent No. 1. 
$1.25. 
Veilchenblau. A really blue Rose. This novel variety is a strong 
grower that bears an amazing number of average sized blossoms. 
Ihey are semi-double, fairly lasting and intensely fragrant. The 
blue flowers are in large clusters on short stems. If you like novel¬ 
ties, here is one that will surprise you. $1.50. 
Zephirine Drouhin. May be used either as a climber or as a shrub. 
If you have room for it you will be delighted by its beautiful 
large blossoms over a long period. It blooms not only in the 
Spring, but also occasionally throughout the Summer. And it not 
only blooms over a long period, but it is also thornless. The 
long-pointed rose-pink blooms are semi-double and moderately 
fragrant. $1.50.
