grandest single, hardy Climbing Rose known. In wealth of bloom 
it stands unequaled, producing, as it does, immense masses of radiant 
t pink blossoms. The foliage is superb at all times, and canes grow 20 
feet in one season. This Rose is enthusiastically praised by all who

extra-large size, $1.50, by express. 
USEFUL AS A CUT-FLOWER 
Adolph Muller, Norristown, Pa., writes: “The single Roses de¬ 
serve to become more popular. On June 28 I cut a big bunch of 
American Pillar, placed them in a vase on my dining-room table, 
where they remained until the following Sunday without dropping 
their petals. They then commenced to fade after being cut and 
in water for eight days. Don’t think I ever saw a more beautiful 
bunch of flowers, they are far more graceful than the double flowers.”

a season. The clear shell-pink flowers are perfectly 
double, with petals crinkled; borne in immense clusters 
that cover the bush for several weeks in the spring.
