BABY ANNY MULLER 
Superb for Bedding and Borders 
POLYANTHA ROSES (Continued) 
White Baby Rambler ( Catherine Zcimet). This 
is, as yet, the only white rose introduced in 
Europe. It has proved to be perfectly hardy, 
a great point for a white rose, and is a constant 
bloomer. It blooms in large fragrant clusters 
and when in flower, a bed of them at a distance 
looks as if the ground were covered with snow. 
MEMORIAL, OR EVERGREEN ROSES 
There is nothing more handsome for covering 
rockeries, mounds or embankments; especially 
valuable for cemetery planting. The pure white | 
single flowers appear in greatest profusion during j 
the month of July, after the June roses are past, I 
while its almost evergreen foliage makes it very ; 
desirable at all seasons of the year. Its natural | 
habit is to creep like an ivy, but it may be trained 
to climb and used to good effect in covering walls 
and trellises. 
Gardenia. Very fragrant. 
Manda’s Triumph. Pure white; double. 
Perfection. C lusters of small, perfect flowers; 
pink buds, changing to white as they open. 
Universal Favorite. Beautiful rose-color. 
Wichuriana ( Memorial Rose). A low, trailing 
species, its stems creeping on the earth almost 
as closely as the ivy. The white flowers are 
produced in the greatest profusion. 
HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
Make home more sweet and home-like with 
their beauty and fragrance. Do not fail to plant 
| at least a few where they may be seen when you 
rise in the morning, and the days will be brighter. 
Our collection is unsurpassed even in Europe. 
They are all hardy, vigorous and of rapid growth. 
They bloom profusely and require very little 
pruning and no protection. 
American Pillar (New). An American seedling 
of great merit. Color a chaste shade of pink, 
with large white eye and bright yellow stamens; 
flowers very large, single and borne in im¬ 
mense clusters; these are followed in the autumn 
by pretty, brilliant red seed berries. A tremen¬ 
dous grower, with its thick, vigorous canes, it 
is without doubt one of the most valuable single 
climbing roses in existence. Strong 2-year 
plants, 75 cts. each. 
Climbing American Beauty (New). A cross be¬ 
tween an unnamed seedling and the grand old 
American Beauty. Of same color , size and 
fragrance as its pollen parent with the addition 
of the climbing habit; good foliage and better 
blooming quality. It is perfectly hardy. $i 
each; $10 per doz. 
Climbing Blue Rambler (Veilchenblau). A new 
rose from Germany; seedling of the Crimson 
Rambler, which is the most successful rose 
ever introduced. The Blue Rambler grows as 
strong as the crimson variety, with bright green 
foliage, and is a fitting companion to Dorothy 
Perkins and the Crimson Rambler. Its color is 
violet blue, making it the rara avis of the climb¬ 
ing roses. 75 cts. each; $6 per doz. 
Crimson Rambler. A remarkable rose from 
Japan; very popular; vigorous, often growing 
io to 18 feet the first season; a splendid climber 
and unequaled as a pillar rose tied to a stake; 
brilliant flowers in immense masses, holding 
their color for a long time. Words fail to do 
it justice. Our Mr. John G. Glen found this 
rose in England in 1892, since which time we 
have sold nearly half a million plants. 2-year 
heavy, field-grown, 35 cts. each; $3 per doz.; 
$18 per 100. 
Cherokee. Flowers large and of a pure silvery 
white; center full of bright yellow stamens; 
very charming and attractive. 
Dorothy Perkins. This magnificent variety is the 
result of a cross of Wichuriana with that grand 
old rose, Madam Gabriel Luizet. It is per¬ 
fectly hardy, having withstood a temperature 
of 20 degrees below zero, and with no snowfall 
to protect. The flowers are a large size for this 
class of rose, and are borne in clusters of from 
10 to 30. Color, clear shell-pink; docs not fade, 
and is very fragrant, a quality not often pos¬ 
sessed by other climbing roses. 
Flower of Fairfield (New). A sport from the 
notable Crimson Rambler, which it resembles 
in every respect, except that it continues to 
bloom all summer, producing a marvelous suc¬ 
cession of brilliant crimson clusters from early 
spring till late autumn. vStrong, 2-year-old, 
field-grown plants, that have bloomed in the 
nursery row, 50 cts. each; $5 per doz.
