Climbing- Hoses require no pruning in the spring beyond 
the cutting out of very old or dead wood, and the short¬ 
ening of the laterals and long canes to make the growth 
conform to the space to be covered; but a severe prun¬ 
ing in July, directly after they have finished flowering, 
is beneficial. Cutting away at that time all old flower- 
oses 
ingwood will encourage a vigorous growth, which will 
give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
We offer on this and the next page a selection of twelve 
of the most modern Hardy Climbing and Rambler 
Hoses. 
American Pillar Each ^0.70, Doz. $8.00 
A single-flowering variety of great beauty. The flowers 
are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade 
of pink, with a clear white eye and clusters of yellow 
stamens, and are borne in immense bunches, and a large 
plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 
Bess Bovett Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
Large, fairly full flowers of light crimson-red, cup¬ 
shaped, and borne in long-stemmed clusters suitable 
for cutting; sweetly fragrant. Plant very strong, ex¬ 
ceedingly free flowering, with fine, glossy foliage almost 
immune to disease. 
Chaplin’s Fink Climber Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
It is a cross between Paul’s Scarlet and American 
Pillar, and like its parents is of vigorous growth, 
perfectly hardy, producing its large flowers, similar in 
size and form to Paul’s Scarlet, profusely in strong 
trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers each, but in color a rich 
lively pink. 
Climbing American Beauty Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
A strong, healthy, vigorous grower, frequently making 
shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, and good sized flowers 
for a climbing Hose that blooms so freely. Color a 
pleasing rose-pink; of splendid form, good substance. 
Dorothy Perkins Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
Soft shell-pink; flowering profusely in large clucters. 
Very fragrant and lasting. A grand Rose in every way. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
A Rose which, on account of its dainty color and ex¬ 
quisitely shaped buds and flowers, appeals to everyone. 
The long, pointed huds are of a rich flesh-pink on stems 
12 to 18 inches long. Splendid for cutting. 
Flower of Fairfield Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
Also called the “Everblooming Crimson Rambler.” Com¬ 
bines the beauty of the well known Crimson Rambler 
with the continuous-blooming habit, the new growth 
bearing large clusters of crimson blooms through the 
summer continuously. 
Mary Wallace Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
A Pillar Rose, making a fine, strong, self-supporting 
plant 6 to 8 feet high, with large, glossy foliage, bloom¬ 
ing with great freedom in spring and bearing a large 
number of fine buds in summer and fall. Flowers very 
large, generally exceeding 4 Riches across; well formed, 
semi-double, of a bright, clear rose-pink with salmon 
base. 
Mme. Gregoire Stachelin Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
The plant is of strong climbing habit, growing 12 teet 
or more high and has large disease resistant foliage. 
At the tips, the long pointed buds are crimson at first 
as the sepals divide, then the firm outer petals show 
splashes of carmine as the flower opens with an irides¬ 
cent pearl pink inside. Very fragrant. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
Flowers are semi-double, very freely produced in 
clusters of from 3 to 20 flowers each on much branched 
canes. It is of strong climbing habit and perfectly 
hardy. One of the most popular climbing Roses. 
Silver Moon Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
Beautiful semi-double flowers, 4% inches and over in 
diameter; pure white in color, petals of great substance, 
beautifully cupped, forming a Clematis-like flower. The 
large bunch of yellow stamens in the center adds to its 
attractiveness. 
Star of Persia Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
Semi-double, bright yellow, and about 3 inches across. 
It makes a striking low climber or pillar Rose from 8 
to 10 feet high, bursting into showers of sparkling 
bloom in June. It does not fade and the flowers last 
several weeks. 
White Dorothy Perkins Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
A pure white climber, identical with Dorothy Perkins 
except the color. Without doubt the best white climber. 
Wichuraiana Each $0.70, Doz. $8.00 
(Memorial Rose). Pretty, fragrant single pure white 
flowers with yellow stamens followed in fall by bright 
red hips or berries, a good climber where no great 
height is required, especially valuable for a trailing 
plant, forming a dense mat of almost evergreen foliage.

The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best 
that can be selected in the Hybrid Perpetual class, 
which, before the development of the Hybrid Teas, was 
the most popular type for garden planting, and even 
now they dare not be overlooked, but should be used 
extensively in conjunction with the other sorts, and 
especially so in localities where the hardiness of the 
Hybrid Tea varieties has not been established. 
Fran Karl Druschki Each $0.80, Doz. $0.00, 100 $70.00 
This is the ideal hardy white Rose; pure in color, per¬ 
fect in form, strong grower and remarkably free flow¬ 
ering; superb in every way.

size, and remarkable free-flowering habits of its parent, 
but in addition to this, it is also highly perfumed.

Full, cupped flower of soft fawn-yellow, paling to 
white, with pinkish shades in the center, blooming

brid Perpetual, a class in which yellow tints are rare.

of flower and its habit of constant blooming.

A type of Roses which is deservedly very popular for 
bedding purposes. They form shapely, compact, bushy 
specimens, most of them growing about 8 inches high, 
producing in great profusion from early in the season, 
without stopping, until severe frost, trusses of small 
flowers. Pruning is not necessary; simply remove the 
past season’s flower stems.
