WALSH'S NEW HARDY HYBRID SEEDLING 
WICHURAIANA AND POLYANTHA ROSES 
These interesting Roses originated at Woods Hole. They may properly be called a new race oi hardy 
decorative Rambler or Climbing Roses. Numerous awards in silver cups, medals, etc., have been received 
by them when exhibited in this country, and they were awarded gold and silver medals at the principal 
exhibitions in England. 
They may be grown on trellises or to cover pergolas, or they may be trained on rustic posts, as speci¬ 
mens, 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 introduction makes it 
possible to produce effects of great beauty which it was not possible to get a dozen years ago. 
Their long season of blooming is a valuable quality. Commencing to bloom as early as June i o to i 5, 
they flower in succession until about August 1, and the blossoms hold on, without dropping, from three to 
four weeks. This is particularly noticeable in Hiawatha, Lady Gay, Delight and Cinderella. They really 
extend the time of Roses from early June untd August. The latter part of September, Hiawatha, Delight 
and Coquina produce blooms quite freely, continuing until frost takes them. 
My stock of these Ramblers is the largest in the country, and the plants I offer are two years old, strong, 
(ield-grown, dormant, own-root plants, that will produce bloom the first year of planting. The quality 
of these plants must not be confused with plants from two-, three- or four-inch pots. While they may grow 
rapidly, the small plants will require at least two years to produce the effect which my plants give the 
first year. 
A FEW COMMENTS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS ABOUT WALSH'S “LADY GAY," ILLUSTRATED ON 
PAGE 9, AND DESCRIBED ON PAGE 11. 
“A large crowd collected round the new Rose, Lady Gay, which was in Win. Paul’s group.There is not 
the slightest doubt that in the near future this will be one of England’s most cherished flowers .”—Daily Chronicle. 
“Quite one of the best things among Climbing Roses .”—Garden Chronicle. 
“A perpetual source of wonder.yielding huge trusses of pink flowers .”—The Standard. 
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. The pleasing combination of white 
buds and dark rose blossoms, together with the 
large, glossy foliage, present a scene of splendor 
which may best be described as a summer joy in the 
garden. It is a grand Rose of great merit, and will 
surely take front rank in my collection of Ramblers. 
$1 each. 
WALSH’S NEW SEEDLING CLIMBING 
or RAMBLING ROSE,“LADY BLANCHE’’ 
In all the Roses of the Rambler or Climbing 
Wichuraiana type there are many points of beauty, 
but in this new variety these points are greatly 
emphasized. 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 of the 
purest snow-white, and are 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 dainty color 
and delicious fragrance, make Lady Blanche almost 
indispensable in the garden. White Climbing Roses 
are not planted as often as they should be in 
connection with crimson Climbers, although they 
admirably supplement each other. $2 each. 
WALSH’S NEW 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. $1.50 each. 
WALSH’S NEW SEEDLING RAMBLER 
or CLIMBER, “MAID MARION’’ 
A charming single variety. Growth vigorous; 
large, 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 combination of 
flower and foliage. $2 each. 
WALSH’S “KALMIA” 
A grand, new, single, free-flowering hardy Ram¬ 
bler. Foliage dark, glossy green; flowers are white 
with the upper half of the petals tinged with pink, 
producing a beautiful effect. Called Kalmia because 
its foliage and profusion of bloom remind one of 
the beautiful 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. $1.50 each.
