New Brilliant Red Hardy Climbing Rose 
*“Aunt Harriet” 
Originated by the famous rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet " 
Introduced in 1918 by the FARM JOURNAL, of Philadelphia. 
Grown and distributed by The Conard & Jones Co. Received 
86 points and Certificate of Merit at the Hartford Rose Gardens 
Show, June, 1918. 
ONE OF THE FINEST DAZZLING RED CLIMBERS TO DATE 
For porches, arbors, and arches this Rose will 
prove immensely popular, as it is among the finest 
of recent introductions in this hardy climbing class. 
It is a cross between Appoline and Wichuraiana. 
The wonderfully brilliant coloring and free-flower¬ 
ing habit of Appoline is retained and also the 
dark shiny foliage and rugged hardiness of 
Wichuraiana. In full bloom it, is amazingly fine 
with its masses of dazzling scarlet-crimson Roses 
loading every branch. The bright effect is in¬ 
tensified by the pure white centers and brilliant 
golden anthers which shine out when the flowers 
are fully open. Own-Root Plants, 2-yr. size, S1.50; 
Star size, $5, □ (see page 3 ).

“The Rose with One Thousand Perfect Blooms” 
t ., J une 2 7. 1918. 
In 1910 I bought of you a Dr. Van Fleet Rose. Last year I cut from it by 
actual count one thousand perfect roses. Many also bloomed and died on 
the vine. Several dozen went by parcel post to Vermont and were reported 
to have kept in good condition nearly two weeks. I have not had or seen 
another Rose grown outdoors with so much of the delicate beauty that is 
usually produced only in a hothouse—Miss Faith Bradford, Cummings 
Lane, Chevy Chase, Md. 
A leader in this new class of handsome, large-flowered, per¬ 
fectly hardy. climbers. The foliage is shiny and attractive 
always, making a beautiful setting for the rich flesh-colored 
flowers. The buds are exquisite and the blooms, coming on 
strong stems 12 to 18 inches long, are unexcelled for table 
decoration. Hundreds of fragrant flowers can be cut from 
one well-matured plant. 2-yr. size, 50 cts.; extra 2-yr. size, 
75 cts.; Star size, $1, □ (see page 3). 
The Rose, Dr. W. Van Fleet, I got of you last year is the admiration of 
the whole community.—M r. C. S. M., Westfield, Ill. 
^ Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins) 
“17,402 Roses on one plant, by careful count” 
Nov. 21, ic-i6. 
I have at least twenty-five varieties of Climbing Roses and these have 
exceeded anything I ever saw. Every plant has grown most luxuriantly. 
There is an Excelsa that I got from you. This is its third year and it had 
17.402 flowers on it by careful count.—J oseph H. Cloud, Marshallton, 
Del.. R. F. D. 2. 
The color is an intense, clear carmine-lake, a rich contrast 
to Pink Dorothy Perkins. Flowers are large and double, pro¬ 
duced thirty to forty on a stem, and almost every eye on 
a shoot produces a cluster of bright blossoms. 2-yr. size, 
50 cts.; extra 2-yr. size, 75 cts.; Star size, $1, □ (see page 3). 
WAITING A SEASON MEANS LOSING A SEASON—PLANT THIS FALL 
Magnificent in every way. It is perfectly hardy, 
a rapid grower and free bloomer
