WALSH'S NEW HARDY HYBRID SEEDLING POLYANTHA AND WICHURAIANA ROSES, continued 
WALSH'S SEEDLING RAMBLER or 
CLIMBER. “TROUBADOUR" 
Another distinct and valuable addition to the 
popular class of Rambler Roses raised at Woods 
Hole. Troubadour was introduced in 1911, and has 
many beautiful and desirable characteristics pos¬ 
sessed by no other Rose. The color is bright red, 
shaded maroon; flowers double; the blooms produced 
in large clusters, each spray making a most perfect 
bouquet or pyramid of flowers. The foliage is large; 
deep, glossy green. $1 each, $10 per doz. 
WALSH'S “KALMIA" 
A grand, single, free-flowering hardy Rambler. 
Foliage dark, glossy green; flowers are white with 
the upper half of the petals tinged with pink, pro¬ 
ducing a beautiful effect. Called Kalmia because its 
foliage and profusion of bloom remind one of the 
mountain laurel. Flowers with mingled red and 
white, such as this, are seen all too rarely in the 
gardens of the country. They are handsomer than 
solid-colored flowers. $1 each; extra-strong plants, 
$1.50 each. 
WALSH'S “CINDERELLA" 
The last of the Rambler Roses to bloom. Double 
flowers of a darker pink than those of Lady Gay; 
ends of petals are quilled, producing a very unique 
effect. A valuable Rose on account of its late- 
blooming habit. $1 each. 
WALSH'S SEEDLING RAMBLER 
or CLIMBER. “LUCILE” 
A charming Climbing or Rambler Rose, one of the 
most beautiful I ever have produced. It is hardy, | 
vigorous in growth, and has large, glossy green foli¬ 
age. Blooms are double, and are produced in large 
clusters on strong shoots; a most delicate flesh-pink, 
tinged with rosy salmon at the base of petals. The 
combination of bright flowers and rich foliage is 
most harmonious and very beautiful. It is a fitting 
companion to my white introductions—Lady 
Blanche and Mrs. M. H. Walsh—making three 
worthy varieties from my own gardens. $1 each, 
$9 per doz. 
WALSH'S “COQUINA” 
A new Rambler of vigorous growth, with dark, 
leathery, almost evergreen foliage. Shell-pink, base 
of petals creamy white. $1 each. 
WALSH'S “WEDDING BELLS” 
Each shoot produces a cluster of buds which open 
into a truss of beautiful white flowers, with the 
upper half of the petals soft pink. The plant is 
vigorous, hardy, distinct in foliage, and most 
floriferous. Admirably suited for growing as a 
specimen bush plant in the garden, or in hedge-form 
for a windbreak or shelter. This variety is also 
especially adapted for greenhouse or conservatory 
decoration. $1 each. 
WALSH'S SEEDLING RAMBLER or 
CLIMBER, “SWEETHEART" 
A new climbing or trailing variety. This Rose, 
which I originated, has received enthusiastic praise 
wherever seen, and was awarded a Silver Medal by 
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1899, the 
year of its introduction. It is a vigorous grower, 
and similar in habit to the ever-popular Crimson 
Rambler. The color of bloom when in bud is a 
bright pink, which shades to a soft white when 
flowers are fully expanded. Blooms are very 
double, and average 2 ]/^ inches in diameter; de¬ 
liciously fragrant. Foliage glossy, dark green. 
Strong, field-grown, flowering plants, 75 cts. each, 
$8 per doz. 
WALSH'S WICHURAIANA ROSE, 
“MRS. M. H. WALSH" 
Awarded American Rose Society's Gold Medal 
in 1911 
Combines hardiness, vigorous growth and the true 
climbing characteristics of the Wichuraiana Rose, 
its parent. The trusses of bloom are borne in great 
profusion. Flowers double, nearly as large as the 
pink Lady Gay, pure snow-white, and do not fade 
or change to pink. Foliage large, glossy green all 
summer. For covering banks or training over a 
trellis it is superb. $1 each, $9 per doz
