pink. The foliage is attractive, glossy and insect- 
proof. 2-yr. size, 50c.; 3-yr. size, 75c. and $1, by exp. 
Gentlemen :—This year, while a generally favorable year for 
Roses, has been a record breaker from my own standpoint, and 
my Roses, practically all procured from your Company within the 
past four years, have yielded an abundance of blooms seldom seen 
outside an English Rose-garden. While I can scarcely speak of 
one without discriminating against another, yet I do f^el that I 
must vent some of my enthusiasm upon the wonderful Climber, 
Dr. W. Van Fleet, purchased four years ago, which was crowned 
with such a wealth of beautiful buds and Roses that to say it has 
created a sensation in this neighborhood is putting it mildly, and 
I feel like saying that your description of this Rose is exceedingly 
modest, to say the least. I inclose a small photograph taken of 
our Climber when it was at its best. Your Roses have given us 
wonderful satisfaction, and I have thought it may be some sati°- 
faction also to you to know it. Very truly yours,
