ented, hardy ever- 
blooming scarlet 
climbing rose! 
Blaze has the mar¬

scarlet color of 
Paul’s Scarlet 
Climber, combined 
w i t h the e v e r -

Rose of Roses! Its 
long, pointed buds, 
its distinctive shad¬ 
ings of coppery 
bronze suffused 
with soft gold and 
toned with coral 
and salmon, place 
“Countess” in the 
front ranks. Thou¬

most black from a 
little distance. The

sensation of the 
European Shows, so 
widely publicized 
recently, is as big a 
sensation wherever 
shown in the United 
States. Strong Field

tiss James.) Fitting
