HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
American Beauty Roses 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY —Ameri¬ 
can Beauty Rose in climbing form. Has 
all the characteristics of its relative, includ¬ 
ing form and fragrance. Healthy foliage 
and has strong climbing habit of growth; 
the abundant bloom being in prime before 
the June show of the bush variety. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER —Will attain a 
height of 10 to 20 feet in a season; produces 
a marvelous profusion of rich and glowing 
crimson clusters during June and July. It 
is the supreme novelty among climbers and 
the forerunner of the splendid array of 
“Ramblers.” 
DOROTHY PERKINS —Beautiful shell 
pink. The flowers are borne in large clus¬ 
ters of small double bloom and very sweet 
scented. Foliage smoother and darker than 
the Crimson Rambler. This is undoubtedly 
the thriftiest, showiest, and most practical 
of the older pink ramblers, and trails its 
riotous clusters over more verandas, win¬ 
dows and trellises than any other variety. 
DOCTOR VAN FLEET —One of the new¬ 
est type of climbers and very hardy. Flow¬ 
ers when open run four inches or more in 
diameter in which it compares with the Tea 
class. Center built high, petals undulated 
and cupped. Color is a remarkably deli¬ 
cate shade of flesh-pink. Admirable cut¬ 
ting variety with stems 12 to 18 inches long. 
2 for 60c; 4 for $1.00; 12 for $3.00; prepaid. 
FIELD GROWN 
EXCELSA —A sensational new hardy 
climbing rose, sometimes called “Red Doro¬ 
thy Perkins.” This great new rose is nearly 
evergreen and is absolutely hardy. Flow¬ 
ers very double, produced in immense 
trusses. Intense crimson; new and distinct. 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD (The New 
Everblooming Scarlet Rambler) — Com¬ 
mences flowering in the spring or early 
summer and produces repeatedly. It 
blooms very profusely on young wood the 
first year. Very effective for covering walls, 
trellises or arches, equally attractive for 
table decorations. 
GARDENIA —Bright yellow cream color 
when open; very fragrant and free; early 
flowering. This is the hardy Marechal Niel; 
double yellow flowering. 
MARY WALLACE —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 Hy¬ 
brid Wichuraiana. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER —A wonder¬ 
ful Rose for trellis or pergola. Winner of 
Gold Medal as best new climbing rose at 
National Society’s Exhibition. Scarlet, 
shaded crimson. Corresponds to the Climb¬ 
ing American Beauty and Dr. Van Fleet as 
to size, shape and habit. Blooms very long, 
holding flower after many June bloomers 
have dropped their petals. 
SHOWER OF GOLD—(Golden Yellow), 
(Hardy June Blooming), (Improved Yellow 
Rambler) —Deep golden yellow, orange 
shadings. Beautiful metallic foliage. A fine 
yellow rambler. 
SILVER MOON —Single rose of enormous 
size, pure white with a center of golden 
stamens. Beautiful, glossy, bronzy-green 
foliage. Unusually luxuriant growth. One 
of the best. 
ROSA HUGONIS 
A New Bush Rose From China 
Like many other rare floral gems from the 
Orient, this variety is spectacular in its 
exotic beauty. Imagine a many branched 
shrub, 6 to 8 feet tall, rearing slender sprays 
in all directions, gracefully arching beneath 
loads of bright yellow. The flowers are 
borne on the previous season’s growth and 
appear very early in the spring, before the 
foliage. Later in the season it throws up 
many new branches (next season’s flowering 
wood) and these branches are of a beautiful 
deep red color, which makes the shrub a 
garden attraction almost throughout the 
growing season. Strong field-grown plants, 
50c each; 3 for $1.25. Prepaid.
