ALIDA LOVETT (H. W.)—Both buds and flowers are 
large; of ideal form, are held on stiff stems a foot 
and a half to two feet long and the color is a lively 
bright shell-pink with shadings of rich sulphur at the 
base of the petals. The flowers are of remarkable 
substance and long-lived, whether cut or left to re¬ 
main upon the plant, and are pleasantly perfumed. 
AMERICAN PILLAR (H. M.)—A single flowering 
variety of great beauty. The flowers are of enormous 
size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of 
apple-blossom pink, with a clear white eye and clusters 
of yellow stamens. These flowers are borne in im¬ 
mense bunches, and a large plant in full bloom is a 
sight not easily forgotten. 
CHAPLIN'S PINK CLIMBER —A very important ad¬ 
dition to the list of hardy climbers. Rose experts pro¬ 
nounce it to be the best hardy climber introduced in 
many years. Its popularity is already assured. Large 
flowers of a clear lively pink borne on large trusses. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY (H. W.)—Same 
color, size and fragrance as American Beauty, with the 
addition of the climbing habit. Good foliage and 
better blooming qualities. One plant of this new Rose 
will produce twenty times as many flowers in June as 
the old American Beauty. 
CLIMBING WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY (H W.) 
—A hardy disease-resistant variety; vigorous growth 
and great 'freedom of bloom. It is much more double 
than Silver Moon, with but one flower to a stem. Has 
excellent keeping qualities. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER (C. P.)—Bright crimson flowers 
produced in large clusters of pyramidal form; grand 
variety for pillars and arches and to train over porches; 
also makes a fine attractive hedge. 
DOROTHY PERKINS (H. W.)—A most beautiful 
deep pink; the flowers are borne in large clusters of 
small double blooms and are very sweetly scented, quite 
first class. 
DR. HUEY (H. W.)—Bud medium size; semi-double; 
borne in clusters of 3 or 4 on good stems; lasting. 
Color, dark crimson-maroon, of great brilliancy; stamens 
and anthers light yellow. Blooms continuously for 
three weeks. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET (H. W.)—-Flowers when open 
run four inchea and over in diameter. The center is 
built high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. 
The color is a remarkable delicate shade of flesh-pink 
on the outer surface, deepening to rosy-flesh in the 
center. 
EUGENE JACQUET —The earliest and most profuse 
flowering of all the climbers 1 and of the easiest culti¬ 
vation. Almost every eye produces a handsome truss 
of fragrance, cherry-red flowers. Eugene Jacquet can 
be bloomed in February without difficulty. It flowers 
a week earlier than Tausendschoen or Rosarie under 
the same conditions and carries handsome, dark green, 
mildew resisting foliage. It holds the flowers unusual¬ 
ly long—the color improves with age. Eugene Jac¬ 
quet should be forced so as to show color ten days 
before Easter to be at its best for Easter sales. 
GARDENIA (H. W.)—Bright yellow, cream color when 
open; very fragrant and free; early flowering. This 
is the hardy Marechal Niel; double yellow flowering. 
HIAWATHA (H. W.)—Its flowers are about one and 
one-half inches across, and produced in long, pendu¬ 
lous sprays, with frequently from forty to fifty flowers 
on a spray. In color, it is brilliant ruby-carmine, with 
a clear white eye and a mass of golden stamens. 
JACOTTE (H. W.)—Bud large, orange and yellow; 
flowers large, semi-double, open, cupped, very lasting; 
deep coppery yellow tinted coppery red; borne, several 
together, on long, strong stem; fragrant. Blooms' pro¬ 
fusely in May and in June. 
MARIE GOUCHAULT (New)—A pink form of the 
well known forcing variety. Eugene Jacquet; dainty 
pure pink flowers in great abundance. A fine forcing 
climber. 
MARY LOVETT (H. W.)—In this Dr. Van Fleet has 
brought out another Wichuraiana Hybrid, "White Dr. 
Van Fleet.’’ This rose has done well and is strongly 
recommended. Loses foliage early. 
MARY WALLACE (H. W.)—This is Dr. Van Fleet’s 
masterpiece. 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 in existence. Seen this year in all its 
giant loveliness. 
PRIMROSE —A new hardy yellow climber with large, 
double, canary-yellow flowers. Blooms very profusely.
