CHOICE HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. ; $65 per 100, unless otherwise noted 
THE NEW DAWN 
Plant Patent No. 1 
A sport from Dr. W. Van Fleet which is universally ac¬ 
knowledged as the best and most popular American Climbing 
Rose. This new variety is identical in every way with its 
parent in size and formation of its flowers, color, etc., but 
blooms continuously through the summer and fall months. 
The first good E verblooming Climber introduced. $1.50 each. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. Famous and beautiful, old Dorothy is 
still among the best. Very vigorous, with lovely waxy foliage and 
great clusters of frilly, shell-pink flowers, tiny but exquisitely 
shaped, it has a place in the affections of every flower-lover that 
nothing else can fill. Unequaled for covering arches, trellises, and 
summer-houses, and useful wherever a rapid-growing screen or 
cover is needed. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET. The flowers are of the palest possible shade 
of flesh-pink, with a slightly darker center, and they are likely 
to acquire deeper color late in the season, as it blooms over a 
long period and frequently throws a few flowers in late summer 
and fall. Unquestionably it is the most popular Climbing Rose 
in the country today. 
EMILY GRAY. This is a lovely golden yellow Climbing Rose, with 
large, beautifully formed flowers and handsome, shining foliage. 
It is a wonderful and almost unbelievable sight when in full 
bloom, and people invariably go into ecstasies over it. Unfortu¬ 
nately, it requires winter protection in cold climates, but if it is 
grown as a pillar it can be easily wrapped with burlap or covered 
with a few boughs to shelter it through coldest seasons. 
GARDENIA. Soft, dainty yellow in bud and early opened flower, 
fading white. Plant is very, very vigorous and its foliage is 
particularly fine. 
GLOIRE DE DIJON. CI.T. One of the most famous Climbing 
Roses in the world. A hardy, everblooming Tea with enormous, 
globular buds and very double, sweetly scented, soft chamois- 
yellow flowers touched with gold and delicate rose. 
JACOTTE. Large, semi-double flowers of orange-yellow, tinted 
copper-red, borne in clusters. Strong, profusely blooming plant. 
The blooms measure 3 inches and over in diameter. Early to 
midseason. One of the sensational new Roses carrying the bril¬ 
liant orange color into the hardy Climbers. 
MARY WALLACE. Queen of the large-flowered, pink clusters and 
regarded as the best of its class. The blooms are large and cup¬ 
like, glowing pink, with a golden undertone, and are borne in 
clusters at the ends of long stems. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. Not so vigorous as other Climbers, 
this striking Rose is ideal for growing as a pillar, over which it will 
hang its clusters of large, well-formed, shining scarlet flowers in 
greatest profusion. One of the most spectacular of Roses, it is 
becoming widely known and tremendously popular. 
PRIMROSE. A strong, vigorous grower and as hardy as Dr. W. 
Van Fleet and similar varieties. The light primrose-yellow flowers, 
about 2f 2 inches in diameter, are borne in trusses of from 2 to 5, 
on long stems. The plant is of vigorous, climbing habit, and is a 
noteworthy addition to the yellow Climbing Roses. 
SILVER MOON. Tremendous vigor and splendid, polished foliage 
characterize this Rose, even without the splendor of its tapering 
golden white buds and its magnificent, semi-double, saucer-like 
flowers of purest white, illumined at the center with a giant frill 
of golden stamens. 
EASLEA’S GOLDEN RAMBLER 
Plant Patent No. 114 
A brand-new hardy Climbing Rose from England, with 
large golden cream flowers of fine double form produced in 
great profusion. It has not been thoroughly tried out in this 
country, but good hardy yellow Climbing Roses are very 
scarce, and a variety which comes so well recommended as 
this deserves a trial. Very promising. $2 each; $20 per doz. 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
These most charming little Roses are much used for massing in 
beds or for edging borders where a brilliant effect is desired. They 
bloom right through the season, simply covering themselves with 
their large trusses of flowers. 
Selected plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
CECILE BRUNNER. Rose-pink with yellowish center; fragrant. 
ELLEN POULSEN. A deep rose-pink with large flower-heads. 
GRUSS AN AACHEN. Delicate flesh-pink, overlaid with yellow. 
IDEAL. Very dark crimson-red. Free flowering and disease-proof. 
The New Polyantha Rose, Gloria Mundi 
This new variety is probably the best and most generally satis¬ 
factory of all the orange-scarlet Polyanthas recently introduced. 
Its color certainly is emphatic, clear and uniform, and comparatively 
unfading. The petalage is fully double, with many good-sized florets 
in each cluster. As a bedding Rose, it will undoubtedly be accepted 
as the most brilliant addition to this class in many years, its lasting 
brightness being quite pronounced. 
ROSA ROULETTI 
A miniature Rose growing only a few inches high, bearing flow r ers no larger than your thumb-nail. The tiny plants are 
particularly adapted to pot-culture, and will yield a continuous succession of delightful little pink flowers all the year. It 
may be grown in a snug pocket in the rock-garden, or if you w r ant lots of them they make a very dainty edging. 75 cts. each. 
Business Terms and Shipping Instructions

that may prove injurious to the contents. 
Plants by Express. I recommend this mode of transit for more than 
18 to 24 plants. All orders are carefully packed by expert hands, 
but I accept no responsibility for delays over which I have no 
control that may cause injury to the contents. I can make no 
adjustments unless complaints are made within five days after

routing orders, I cannot be responsible for damage due to the 
negligence or rough handling of common carriers. If the container 
appears damaged on arrival, sign for it as damaged and make 
claim on the express company. If considerable delay in transit 
would indicate fatal damage to contents, refuse delivery. 
I guarantee my stock to be extra strong, but assume no responsi¬ 
bility after shipment has been made. I also wish to emphasize 
the fact that all roses and plants I send out are vigorous, healthy, 
and true to name. 
All shipments should be opened and unpacked immediately on 
arrival; if dry, the plants should be watered and planted as soon 
as possible. 
Substitution. In ordering, kindly give a second choice, if possible,

In the event that I should be sold out of any variety ordered, I will substitute the nearest variety of equally good stock 
and similar color, unless the order is marked “No Substitution.”
