THE FRESNO NURSERY CO. 
White La France. (Augustine Guinoiseau.) 
Delicate, soft flesh, at times almost white; 
large, full flowers. 
William Sliean. A new Dickson rose with 
much the same type of bloom as Killarney, 
but with much larger buds, and if anything, 
stronger canes. 
CLIMBING ROSES 
Banksia, White and Yellow. These are the 
well-known thornless climbing roses. The 
flowers are small, but bloom in great pro¬ 
fusion in spring and early summer. 
White Hanksia 
Climbing Caroline Testout. A grand climbing 
form of Madam Caroline Testout. Has all 
the good qualities of the latter, coupled with 
additional strength of growth and conse¬ 
quently greater production of bloom. Extra 
good. 
Climbing Kai.serin. The counterpart of Kais- 
erin except that it is a climber. The buds 
have the same exquisite form as the parent 
and are the same in color. Delicate ivory 
white. Very vigorous grower. 
Climbing Madame Cecil Brunner. The blooms 
have the same exquisite shape as Mme. Cecil 
Brunner and are identical in color, but more 
freely produced and in larger trusses. Ex¬ 
tremely vigorous. 
Climbing Papa frontier. The sports which 
have resulted in climbing forms to many of 
our best standard roses have been numer¬ 
ous, but we doubt if, with the exception of 
Climbing Kaiserin and Climbing Testout, 
that there are any equal to this lovely 
climbing form of the old Papa Gontier. The 
buds are of the same elegant pointed form 
and color, coupled with a wonderful free¬ 
dom of production. 
Climbing Wooton. A superb climbing rose, 
vigorous in growth, fine in foliage. Color 
velvety crimson. Petals thick and leathery. 
Duchess de An erst ad (. A scarce and but little 
known climbing rose, with large, full, globu¬ 
lar blooms. Deep, rich yellow in color and 
superb in form and size. It is as fine a 
flower in its particular shade as Marechal 
Neil, besides being a stronger grower. 
Fran raise Crousse. This new rose fills a long- 
felt want in high-colored climbers, as the 
buds are quite as dark and velvety in tex¬ 
ture as Liberty, in addition to which they 
are produced in wonderful profusion 
Gloire de Dijon. Distinct in color from any 
other climbing rose. Apricot, shaded with 
rose and salmon. 
Gloire de Margottin. A handsome climbing 
red rose, many shades deeper than the 
well-known Henrietta. It is a fine compan¬ 
ion to La Marque by way of color contrast. 
Vigorous growth, with fine, heavy foliage. 
La Marque. Well known as one of the finest 
white varieties in cultivation. A remark¬ 
ably profuse bloomer. Fine in bud state 
as a cut flower. 
Madame Driout. A remarkably new climbing 
rose, obtained as a sport from Henrietta in 
the grounds of M. Braunt, Poitier, France. 
In growth, foliage and general characteris¬ 
tics it is precisely like its parent, but in 
color it differs entirely. The flower is a 
magnificent rich, rose color, heavily striped 
with cherry red; for distinctive markings it 
surpasses any other rose, bush or climber. 
Marechal Neil. This is one of the best and 
generally known climbing roses in exist¬ 
ence. Produces very large and deliciously 
fragrant, golden-yellow blooms. The open¬ 
ing buds are ideal in form and expand to 
full and globular blooms. 
Heine Olga of Wurtemburg. An old, climbing 
red rose, with extra large, semi-double 
blooms. The color is much the same as 
Henrietta. A fine thing for covering per¬ 
golas, fences, etc., as the growth is vigor¬ 
ous. 
Rcve de Or. Unique in shades of buff and 
apricot; similar in form to the La Marque. 
One of the best climbing roses in cultiva¬ 
tion and always in demand. During the 
spring and summer months the plants are 
smothered with blooms. 
Heine Marie Henrietta. One of the finest red 
climbing roses. Flowers very large, bright 
cherry red in color and abundantly produced.
