American Pillar. One of the most valuable of the hardy 
climbers, flowering profusely in large compact clusters, 
brilliant carmine-rose in color. 
Baby Rambler. Red, a dwarf form of crimson rambler, 
flower similar to Crimson Rambler. Is used generally for 
flower pots. Is very handsome. 
Mme. Greg-oire Staechelin. This new variety is the 
aristocrat of the climbing roses. Its beautiful flow¬ 
ers are of an enormous size and in color are an 
iridescent pearl-pink, splashed with carmine. De¬ 
lightfully fragrant. Hardy vigorous grower with 
large disease-resistant foliage. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Winner of Gold Medal at 
National Rose Society’s Exposition. Flowers are 
scarlet shaded crimson; corresponds to Climbing 
American Beauty, Dr. W. Van Fleet and others as 
to size and beauty. Blooms long, an excellent va¬ 
riety for pergola work and one of the best 
climbers yet sold on the market. 
Silver Moon. 4 to 5 inch semi-double flow¬ 
ers ; pure white with thick clusters of 
yellow stamens. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber. One of the finest pink pergola 
climbers ever found. Large flowers, and a long season 
bloomer. 
Climbing - American 
Beauty. This climb¬ 
ing form of the fam¬ 
ous pink rose, so long 
the American favor¬ 
ite for cutting, is as 
lovely and fragrant 
and deeply pink as the 
bush form. The hardy 
climber blood with 
which it is crossed 
gives healthy, perfect 
foliage and a strong 
climbing habit of growth 
show of the bush type. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. 
the super-abundant bloom being in prime before the June 
Crimson Rambler. Plant a vigorous, hardy climber. Flower of dark red, one of the very 
best for porch work and lattice work. 
Doctor W. Van Pleet. One of the newer type of climbers which combines absolute 
hardiness with flowers large as in the Tea and Noisette classes. This variety shows a 
mass of beautiful clustered buds, which open out into large, shapely flowers ; delicate 
flesh white. An admirable cutting variety with stems 
12 to 18 inches long. 
Dorothy Perkins. A beautiful shell-pink climbing rose. 
This is the finest rose for hedging and arbors of any 
we have ever seen. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. 
Excelsa. This has superseded the old Crimson Rambler. 
It is vigorous in growth with healthy dark glossy 
green foliage. The flowers are very double, produced 
in large trusses. Color is intense crimson-maroon, the 
tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. 
Gardenia. The tight, very numerous little yellow buds 
are beautiful in early summer, the flowers opening up 
creamy white, jasmine scented. 
Mary Wallace. (New). Although a good pillar rose, 
it becomes self-supporting and makes an ideal 
dooryard bush. The flowers are semi-double, bright 
clear rose-pink with salmon base. These are often 
4 inches wide—and appear intermittently during 
the season, following their first glorious outburst 
in late spring. 
Primrose. A pure yellow, hardy climbing 
rose. Its large, double flowers are a soft 
rich primrose-yellow, and are borne in 
clusters of four and five on an extremely 
vigorous plant, with beautiful foliage. 
Climbing American 
Beauty. 
^Tausendschon (Thousand Beauties). A 
rapid growing, almost thornless climber, 
showing the blood of Rambler, Polyantha 
and Tea parentage. Its innumerable flower 
clusters make a pretty show in June and 
July. At first the soft pink of Clotild ? 
Soupert, and later deepening to a bright 
carmine-rose. Very vigorous climber, with 
plentiful and healthy foliage.
