ALBA SIMPLEX, the Single Macartney Rose; pure white single flowers, produced late in 
summer; requires a wall. 
MERMAID, the Queen of Single-flowered Roses. The colour is sulphur-yellow, the deep amber 
stamens standing out prominently and throwing a rich shade of yellow over the whole of the 
blossom. The flowers are of great size, often 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and are produced con¬ 
tinuously from the end of June till late in autumn. The foliage is most effective, the leaves being 
very large and massive, of a deep shining green, and the young shoots tinged with red; the habit 
of growth is climbing; quite hardy. It is well suited for growing on walls, trellises, buildings, 
and pillars; also for forming large bushes in the garden. Interesting and effective novelty; its 
extreme elegance and beauty exciting the greatest admiration on every occasion when it has 
been exhibited. 
CLIMBING and RAMBLER ROSES 
Of the Ayrshire (K. Arvensis), Banksian ( R. Banksiae), Boursault ( R. Inermis), Evergreen (R. Sempervirens), Musk (R. Moschata), 
Multiflora (/?. Multiflora), Wichuraiana (R. Wichuraiana ), classes and a few Hybrids from other classes. 
These, for the most part, bloom once only in summer, but as some kinds flower earlier than others, it is possible, by judicious selection 
of varieties, to have a show of bloom in the garden for several weeks in succession; the approximate date of flowering is affixed to each variety. 
In addition to covering pergolas, arches, buildings, old tree stumps, and similar objects in the garden, many of these form excellent 
running Roses for banks, and also clumps or masses in lawns, in parks and the wild garden. Some of the best kinds for growing as Weeping 
Roses are also to be found in this section; many kinds also force well in pots. 
Climbing and Rambler Roses, in Varieties of our Selection, can be‘supplied at 15/- to 21/- 
per dozen; 100/-'per 100. 
EXTRA STRONG PLANTS OF MANY KINDS ARE AVAILABLE AT 2/6 EACH.
