vivid red flowers steadily produced throughout the entire season.

Roses, but with great trusses of cherry-crimson flowers. An early 
bloomer. 
Climbing American Beauty. A fine, free-blooming climber of 
excellent habit, strong and vigorous in growth, making heavy 10 to 
1 5-foot canes in a single season. Very fragrant, rosy crimson flowers, 
produced freely in June and occasionally throughout the season. 
Dorothy Perkins. A splendid variety with bright, glossy foliage 
that always looks healthy, and produces beautiful clusters of pink 
flowers. It is to be highly recommended for general planting, owing 
to its hardiness under all conditions. A very strong-growing variety 
and one of the most popular for arches. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. Flesh-pink on the outer surface, deepening to 
rosy flesh in the center. The flowers are full, very double, and 
carried on good stems, resembling Souvenir du President Carnot 
(one of the parents) in color. The flower, when open, will measure 
4 inches or more in diameter, and is highly built in the center. 
Strong and handsome in growth. A superb variety that makes a 
splendid showing when trained over arches, pergolas, summer¬ 
houses and the like. 
£aslea’s Golden Rambler. Plant Patent No. 114. This new Rose, 
which is indeed most outstanding, comes to us from England where 
it has proved a superb variety. It has comparatively large, well- 
formed, double flowers of a rich golden yellow color._ The blooms 
are arranged in large clusters and their desirability is greatly en¬ 
hanced by their pleasing fragrance. $1.50 each.

WATERER’S HARDY 
Golden Climber (Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James). Plant Patent 
No. 28. Here is a new golden yellow Climbing Rose which is hardy 
enough to endure our winter climate unprotected without being 
damaged by frost or wet. It is a vigorous plant, growing 12 to 
18 feet in a season, plentifully furnished with deep green, rich 
glossy foliage which is seldom affected by plant-diseases or injurious 
insects. $1.50 each. 
Jacotte. Flowers shrimp-pink or light salmon-orange in color, 
shaded golden yellow at base, fully 2]/^ inches in diameter, de¬ 
lightfully scented. The rich, dark green, glossy, disease-resisting 
foliage is entirely distinct from all others and a color which will 
make it a favorite.

rose-pink, with salmon base to the petals. The blooms are large, 
generally exceeding 4 inches in diameter. Very free flowering. 
New Dawn. Plant Patent No. 1. This new Rose is a sport from Dr. 
W. Van Fleet which is universally acknowledged as the best and 
■ most popular American Climbing Rose. This new variety is iden¬ 
tical in every way with its parent in size and formation of its long- 
pointed flesh-pink buds and double flowers, but blooms continuously 
throughout the summer and fall months. $1.50 each. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. One of the most promising Climbing Roses 
yet sent out. The vivid scarlet, semi-double flowers are of medium 
size, produced in large clusters and in great profusion. The color 
does not burn or fade. This Rose has been exhibited extensively 
in Europe and received numerous awards. Paul’s Scarlet Climber 
in color is far beyond anything ever offered, being of such a dazzling 
shade as to make it distinctive among red Roses. 
Primrose. In this we have what has long been sought after—a real 
hardy yellow rambler. It is a strong, vigorous grower, and hardy 
under the same conditions under which Dr. W. Van Fleet and 
similar varieties will succeed. In color it is light primrose-yellow, 
which is maintained until the petals drop. 
Silver Moon. This Rose is of the same strong growth as Dr. W. 
Van Fleet. Foliage beautiful bronze-green, mildew-proof. Flowers 
are large, silvery white, with prominent yellow stamens, very 
fragrant and attractive, produced on strong stems. 
Wichuraiana. Pure white flowers in large clusters, freely produced 
rather late in the season. Plant is trailing and forms a dense mat 
of shining, almost evergreen foliage.
