WALSH'S NEW HARDY HYBRID SEEDLING WICHURAIANA AND POLYANTHA ROSES, continued 
WALSH'S NEW SEEDLING RAMBLER 
or CLIMBING ROSE, “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. Dor¬ 
mant, field-grown plants, two years old, $i each, 
$10 per doz., three years old, $1.50 each. 
Last year, at the 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. H. M. 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 Wichuraiana Roses, 
will cause a large demand for the variety as a weeping 
Rose. The elegant examples on tall stems, which Messrs. 
Paul and Son, of Cheshunt, arranged with such effect 
in _ their gold-medal group, were quite the most con¬ 
spicuous among a very charming variety of other weeping 
sorts, and the Rose deservedly received an award of 
merit.”— The Garden. 
WALSH’S “LUCILE” 
A charming new Climbing or Rambler Rose, one 
of the most beautiful I ever have produced. It is 
hardy, vigorous in growth, and has large, glossy 
green foliage. 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. 
$1 each, $9 per doz. 
WALSH’S “MILKY WAY’’ 
An improved or glorified Wichuraiana. Foliage 
full, and habit of growth is larger and more vigor¬ 
ous than the parent Wichuraiana. Flowers are very 
large, many of them semi-double; fragrant; pure 
white with center filled with a crown of yellow sta¬ 
mens; tips of petals tinged lightly with pink. Beau¬ 
tiful glossy foliage. Perfectly hardy. $1.50 each, 
$15 per doz. 
“Every year the race of Hybrid Roses derived from Rosa 
Wichuraiana increases, and though double varieties like 
Dorothy Perkins and Lady Gay are well able to hold their 
own, raisers have not forgotten the grace and beauty of 
single Roses. Hiawatha holds a prominent position among 
single varieties that show in a marked degree the influence 
of R. Wichuraiana, and the brilliance of its blooms appeals 
to most lovers of Roses. Jersey Beauty, a single white 
variety, had some popularity, but has not “caught on” 
like Hiawatha. There is, however, a newcomer that bids 
fair to fill up the gap and provide a single Wichuraiana 
Rose with an abundance of pure white flowers. This is 
Milky Way, a new seedling. It far surpasses R. Wich¬ 
uraiana and Jersey Beauty, and bears its lovely white blos¬ 
soms in large, elegant panicles, the pure whiteness of the 
flowers being enhanced by the large central cluster of 
golden stamens. There is a lightness about Milky Way 
that is sure to obtain for it aTost of lovers. As a pot- 
plant for flowering in the conservatory or winter garden 
during late spring it is peculiarly beautiful, and it is really 
wonderful what large and lovely pillar specimens, branch¬ 
ing and flowering in a most graceful fashion, can be pro¬ 
duced in comparatively small pots.”— Gardeners’ Magazine. 
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 Climb¬ 
ing 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. 
$1 each, $10 per doz. 
WALSH’S NEW 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 does not 
fade or change to pink as do other so-called white 
Ramblers. Foliage very large, glossy green all 
summer. Valuable for covering banks. $1 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 Iate- 
blooming habit. $1 each; extra-strong, $1.50. 
WALSH’S “COQUINA” 
A new Rambler of vigorous growth, with dark, 
leathery, almost evergreen foliage. Shell-pink, base 
of petals creamy white. $1.50 each, $12 per doz.
