FREE-FLOWERING HARDY CLIMBERS 
Wichuraiana Hybrids 
Large-flowering Types 
★ AUNT HARRIET 
New 1918 
Originated by the famous rose-hybrid¬ 
izer, Dr. W. Van Fleet, and introduced 
1918 by the Farm Journal, of Philadelphia. 
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 be¬ 
tween Appoline and Wichuraiana. The won¬ 
derfully brilliant coloring and free-flower¬ 
ing habit of Appoline is retained and also 
the dark shiny foliage and perfect hardi¬ 
ness of Wichuraiana. In full bloom it is 
amazingly fine with its masses of dazzling 
scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. 
The bright effect is intensified by the pure 
white centers and brilliant golden anthers 
which shine out when the flowers are fuliy 
open, i-yr., 50 cts., postpaid; 2-yr., $1.50; 
Star size, $3 □. 
At the last meeting of the American Rose Society, Hartford, Conn., the judges were 
unanimous in awarding a Certificate of Merit to the rose Aunt Harriet, which has been 
out only one year. Prof. F. A. Waugh, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, 
Amherst, declared that of all the Roses judged he would much prefer to have Aunt 
Harriet in his own garden. 
Aunt Harriet is just opening and it is all that you claimed for it.—E. I. Farrington, Weymouth 
Heights, Mass.

“The Rose with 1,000 Perfect Blooms” 
June 27 , 1918 . 
In 1910 I bought of you a Dr. Van Fleet Rose. Last year^1 cut from it by 
actual count 1,000 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 ^usually P ro( fuced only in 
a hothouse.—Miss Faith Bradford, Chevy Chase, Md.

strong stems and are delightfully fragrant. The most popu¬ 
lar yellow, hardy climbing Rose in existence.

characteristics it is almost identical with the other famous
