4_ M. H. WALSH, WOODS HOLE, MASS. _ 
Walsh's New Hardy Hybrid Seedling Polyantha 
and Wichuraiana Roses 
These interesting Roses originated at Woods Hole. They may properly be called a new race of hardy 
decorative Rambler or Climbing Roses. Numerous silver cups, medals, certificates, etc., have been awarded 
them when exhibited in this country, and they have also been awarded gold and silver medals at the principal 
exhibitions in England. 
Walsh’s Ramblers may be grown on trellises or to cover pergolas, or they may be trained on rustic 
posts, as specimens, in pyramid or other forms. The effect produced is marvelous. They are also suitable 
for growing in tubs as specimens for piazzas, porches, etc., and are useful as well for specimen plants in the 
greenhouse or conservatory. The beautiful foliage, hardiness, free-blooming qualities, and wide range of 
colors in single and double flowers entitle them to the honor of Queen of the Garden Roses. Their introduc¬ 
tion makes it possible to produce effects of great beauty which it was not possible to get a dozen years ago. 
WALSH'S "NOKOMIS" (NEW) 
A dark rose-pink variety with larger flowers than 
Lady Gay or Dorothy Perkins. Flowers double, very 
fragrant, borne in clusters of 25 to 30. Superior 
to other varieties because of its hardiness, perfect 
foliage, and size of bloom. $2 each. 
WALSH'S CLIMBING “REGINA" 
A charming novelty of highest merit; growth 
vigorous; foliage large, glossy green. The flowers are 
single, freely produced in large panicles or trusses 
and remain in good condition a long time without 
fading. Base of petals, creamy white tipped with 
distinct shade of pink. This variety was awarded a 
silver medal at the National Flower Show in Phila¬ 
delphia, 1916. Extra-strong plan-ts, $2 each. 
WALSH'S “SUMMER JOY,” 1911 
The clusters of bloom are double, and borne on 
strong shoots 18 to 20 inches long. When in full 
blossom they droop gracefully, resembling a plume. 
The buds are pure white, gradually developing to 
dark rose-color. It is a Rose of great merit. $1 each. 
WALSH'S SEEDLING RAMBLER 
or CLIMBER, "MAID MARION" 
A charming single variety. Growth vigorous; 
l ar g e > glossy foliage; flowers produced in large 
sprays; individual flowers very large and slightly 
incurved; white, tips of petals pink, center of flower 
filled with yellow stamens. A most beautiful com¬ 
bination of flower and foliage. $1 each, $10 per doz. 
WALSH'S SEEDLING, "AMERICA" 
This Rose combines the good qualities of the 
Ramblers, to which class it belongs, with the charm 
and beauty of the wild Roses. The flowers are a 
delicate pink, shading to white at the center of the 
petals, with prominent yellow stamens. The blooms 
are borne in large clusters, as many as seventy-five 
single specimens having been found in one cluster. 
The flowers remain in good condition for almost 
three weeks—a great advantage over some of the 
Ramblers. When in full bloom a plant resembles 
a huge bouquet of pink Roses. The growth of the 
plant is remarkably vigorous, the shoots soon cover¬ 
ing an arch or trellis with a mass of dark green 
foliage that resists attacks of mildew and insects. 
1 he plants are perfectly hardy, and can be put in 
the most exposed places with an assurance that they 
will grow and produce an abundance of flowers. 
Strong plants, $1 each, $10 per doz.; extra-strong 
plants, $1.50 each. 
WALSH'S SEEDLING RAMBLER 
or CLIMBER,"LADY BLANCHE" 
The plant is hardy, extremely vigorous in habit 
of growth, with glossy, deep green foliage. The 
flowers are produced in large clusters and in such 
quantities that the plant seems to be one solid mass 
of bloom. The individual flowers are pure snow- 
white, and the most fragrant of any of the Ramblers. 
The long period of bloom, June to November—as 
the plants bloom a second time in the fall—combined 
with the color and delicious fragrance, make Lady 
Blanche almost indispensable. $1 each. 
WALSH'S SEEDLING RAMBLER or 
CLIMBER, “EXCELSA” 
This variety I consider one of the best of my pro¬ 
ductions. Its meritorious qualities combine hardi¬ 
ness, vigor of growth, graceful, pendulous habit, fine 
dark, glossy foliage, and large trusses of brilliant 
scarlet-crimson double flowers. The plants are not 
subject to mildew, which causes the foliage of the 
old Crimson Ramblers to rust and look shabby. 
Dormant, field-grown plants, two years old, $1 each, 
$10 per doz.; three years old, $1.50 each. 
“At the recent Temple Show, American Pillar was the 
most sensational variety exhibited. This year it was 
Excelsa, a most brilliant production of that prince of 
Rambler raisers, Mr. M. H. Walsh. Excelsa is equally 
as brilliant as Hiawatha, but its blooms are double or 
nearly so, there being about five rows of petals. Its 
graceful, pendulous habit, typical of the true Wichur¬ 
aiana Roses, will cause a large demand for the variety 
as a weeping Rose. The elegant examples on tall stems 
which Messrs. Paul & Son, of Cheshunt, arranged with 
such effect in their gold-medal group, were quite the 
most conspicuous among a very charming variety of 
other weeping sorts, and the Rose deservedly received 
an award of merit .”—The Garden, London, Eng. 
WALSH'S CLIMBING ROSE, 
“ARCADIA” 
A Climbing Rose of the highest merit, and with 
most attractive flowers. Blooms are borne in large 
trusses of double rosettes, and hang in graceful 
clusters. Color crimson, illumined with scarlet, 
which, contrasting beautifully with the dark English- 
ivy-green of the foliage, is a striking and distinct 
feature. $1 each, $10 per doz. 
WALSH'S "SNOWDRIFT" 
A new seedling and valuable addition to the 
Climbing or Rambler Rose class. Flowers are double, 
twenty to thirty produced on a shoot; pure white! 
Foliage very large and of handsome light green. 
Extra-early, free-blooming and vigorous in growth.
