color shaded to the center with a bright salmon tint. The small buds are 
especially beautiful. The flowers have a pleasing fragrance. 
Climbing Meteor This is an exceptionally strong climber often attaining 
m h ' T a & rowtb 15 feet a season. Its long strong stems, 
(-Hybrid lea; comparatively free from thorns, with beautiful foliage 
make it very valuable. Blooms with greatest freedom and is very hardy in 
every respect. 
Flowers are of a deep velvety crimson color having no tinge of purple to 
mar its color and will keep for several days after being cut. This without a 
doubt is one of the finest red climbing roses grown in this country. 
Climbing Papa Gontier Another of the choice climbing red roses. Its 
. beautiful flowers and buds together with its 
H ea ; hardiness places it foremost among roses. 
The buds are very large, broad, and shapely. The blossoms are cherry-red, 
’merging to a deep glowing crimson and highly fragrant. 
This variety even when neglected has an abundance of many fine flowers 
but when properly cared for will produce quantities of exquisitely formed, 
highly scented, blossoms. 
Climbing Perle des Jardins To the majority of rose growers this va- 
. riety needs no introduction. It is with- 
H ea ; out a doubt one of the best of climbing 
double yellow roses. Its exceptional deep golden yellow color and high frag¬ 
rance commands great attention and is used quite extensively for cutting. 
The flowers have an individuality not found in other yellow roses being of 
very heavy substance, large, double and globular in form. The plant is a 
strong vigorous grower with very attractive deep green foliage. 
Climbing Wooton 
(Hybrid Tea) 
This is a sport from the well known rose ‘‘Souvenir 
de Wooton” and for those wishing to plant a red 
rose of rare beauty, to cover a trellis, pergola or 
veranda, we can suggest nothing better than the Climbing Wooton. 
The plant is a rapid grower, easily attaining a height of 10 feet or more in 
a single season, with an abundance of handsome deep green foliage. 
The extremely well shaped flowers are bright cherry-red in color merging 
to violet crimson and of most delightful fragrance. Blooms continuously 
throughout the rose blooming season. 
Clio This makes a very attractive decorative and cut-flower 
ru h M P i\ due t0 its beautifui c °I° r and unique buds, which, when 
(.i-iyona perpetual; about two-thirds open present a cup shaped appearance. 
Its color is soft flesh, tinted at the center with a delicate pink. Blossoms are 
very large and globular in shape with a mild sweet fragrance. 
The bush is a stocky grower, sending out long and graceful stems, covered 
with dark green foliage. 
Cloth of Gold Is a climbing rose of the highest quality which never fails 
. v to attract wide attention wherever planted. It was origi- 
UMOisette; . nated in France but introduced to this country about 1843. 
Since introduced it has gained wide popularity. 
The plant is a thrifty grower, especially adapted for trailing over trellis, 
pergola, summer house, etc. 
The buds and flowers are of pleasing proportions; the buds slowly unfolding 
showing a most beautiful double flower of bright yellow tinged with sulphur 
edges. Too much cannot be said of this variety. 
Crimson Rambler Introduced by Turner in 1893 and since that time 
has gained great popularity. It is probably bet- 
^roiyanma; ter known than any other variety of Rambler rose 
grown in this country. 
Owing to its profuse blooming qualities and the rapidity with which it sends 
forth its canes it is particularly adapted for running along fences, trellises, 
pergolas, etc. 
While the individual flowers are small, one to one and one-half inches in 
diameter, they are of double nature, beautifully formed, and cluster in abun¬ 
dance. They bloom but once, but will keep in good condition on the plant 
for a period of two weeks. The blossoms are of a glowing crimson color and 
very attractive.
