HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES—Continued. 
Ulrich Brunner. Flowers brilliant cherry-red, large and full, with exceed¬ 
ingly large, shell-shaped petals. A continuous bloomer. 
Climbing Roses 
These, for their hardiness and profusion of flowers, recommend them¬ 
selves to all lovers of the beautiful. They are admirably adapted to cover 
arbors, walls, and any unsightly objects, and are always ornamental in 
any situation. 
American Pillar. Immense clusters of single bright crimson flowers with 
a clear white eye, on long, strong stems. A very vigorous climber, 
making plenty of strong canes, with large leathery foliage. 
Climbing American Beauty. (See picture on page 24). 
Crimson Rambler. Great masses of crimson semi-double flowers, borne in 
clusters on vigorous plants. Desirable pillar and porch plant, often 
making shoots from 8 to 15 feet in a season. 
Dorothy Perkins. One of the grandest Roses yet produced; the beautiful 
double, shell-pink flowers come in clusters in great profusion, making 
a wonderful display; foliage finer, smoother and darker than Crimson 
Rambler. (See picture on page 24). 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. One of the best Climbing Roses in cultivation. Per¬ 
fectly formed, long-pointed deep pink buds on long stems with several 
in a cluster, that open a lighter shade of pink, expanding to about 4 
inches. It is a vigorous grower, with abundant dark green, glossy, dis¬ 
ease-resistant foliage that is a delight to the eye all summer. 
Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins). A radiant, blood-red cluster rose, as free 
and double as Dorothy Perkins, of which it is the red prototype. The 
clusters are very large. 
Gardenia (Yellow Rambler; Aglaia). The color is a decided yellow; the 
flowers are very sweet scented; habit of growth is very vigorous, well 
established plants often making shoots from 8 to 10 feet in height in 
a single season. 
Hiawatha. A most dependable and useful American rose; large, fragrant, 
deep, intense crimson, single flowers in clusters shading white at the 
bases. A strong-growing plant, producing an abundance of bloom and 
with glossy green disease-resistant foliage. 
Mary Wallace. This sensational Climbing Rose makes a strong, upright 
bush, with large, shiny foliage producing for weeks in the spring and 
also in the summer and fall, its large, semi-double flowers, four inches 
across; clear rose-pink with salmon at base of petals. One of the best 
Climbing Roses. (See picture on page 27). 
Max Graf. H. Rugosa. An ideal trailing Rose for retaining embank¬ 
ments, covering them with handsome crinkled foliage that is persistent 
well into winter. Enchanting every spring, this lovely green ground- 
cover becomes decorated with large, single, apple-blossom-pink flow¬ 
ers. Plant 2 or 3 feet apart.

Plant 
Roses 
by the 
dozens. 
A mass 
planting 
is very 
effective.
