Climbing Roses (Continued). 
DOBOTHY PERKINS.—A charming and very valuable 
Rose of American origin, producing clear, shell pink, 
double Roses in clusters that are very lasting. It is a 
strong grower, very hardy and a marvelously profuse 
bloomer. Being superior to the Pink Rambler and of 
the same color, I have discarded the last named variety. 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD.—An innovation of very great 
value, being a perpetual blooming Crimson Rambler. 
Strong 2 year plants, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. 
HIAWATHA.—A strong growing variety with lovely 
single flowers. An authority on roses says of it: “There 
is no other rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be 
seen to be appreciated. Its flowers are about inches 
across and produced in long pendulous sprays, with fre¬ 
quently from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In color it 
is a brilliant ruby-carmine with a clear white eye and a 
mass of golden stamens—a glowing combination of 
colors, which can be seen at a great distance, and which 
does not tire the eye as do masses of Crimson Rambler. 
The plant is of strong vigorous growth with bright 
glossy foliage, which it retains until late in fall.” 
Strong two year plants, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. 
LADY GAY.—A rambler rose of American origin and a 
most profuse bloomer, in large loose clusters. Its color 
is soft cherry pink changing to blush white. A large 
plant in flower with its cherry pink buds, soft white 
flowers and rich green foliage presents a picture beyond 
words to describe. 
3IRS. LOVETT.—A double, bright pink, sweet scented 
form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It retains all the excellent 
properties of its parent and in addition has double 
flowers—two to two and one-half inches in diameter— 
and are of the most cheerful, bright rosy-pink imagin¬ 
able. In every other respect it is a true Wichuraiana. 
PHILADELPHIA.—A seedling of and an improvement 
upon the glorious Crimson Rambler. It is not so strong 
a grower but blooms about two weeks earlier, while the 
flowers and clusters are larger and of a brighter crimson. 
TAUSF3NDSCHON (Thousand Beauties ).—A strong grow¬ 
ing variety and covered from early June until July 
with clusters of semi-double flowers of every shade from 
white to deep pink. The roses are larger than those of 
the average rambler and are produced in bewildering 
profusion and variety of color. 
WICHURAIANA. Memorial Rose.—A perfect trailer, hug. 
gin-g the ground closely. It grows from ten to fifteen 
feet in a season, and is densely furnished with dark 
green, glossy foliage. The flowers are single, pure 
snowy-white, with bright golden yellow stamens and 
with the fragrance of the Banksia Rose. 
WHITE RAMBLER AND YELLOW RAMBLER.—These two 
roses are similar in habit to Crimson Rambler; the former 
producing double, pure white, and the latter clear lemon 
yellow roses in clusters. 
Price (except as noted), strong two year old plants, 
each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 
Any of the above (except the last three named), 
heavy plants from 5 inch pots, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. 
MOSS ROSES. 
Very hardy and much admired by reason of the 
mossy covering of the calayx and the delightful fra¬ 
grance. I have them in separate colors, viz., Pink, Red 
and White. Strong two years old, each, 30c; doz., 
$3.00. 
PERSIAN YELLOW ROSE. 
Large deep golden yellow flowers. Very hardy and 
with a great number of long sharp spines or “thorns.” 
Especially valuable for planting with shrubbery and 
much used in cemetery planting. Strong two year old 
plants, each, 35c; doz., $3.50. 
HYBRID RUGOSA ROSES. 
An exceedingly valuable group of roses by reason of 
their extieme hardihood, rich deep green foliage—that is 
exceedingly free from insect pesls, rust and blight—deli¬ 
cious fragrance and perpetual blooming properties. The 
foliage of all the varieties named is very dense and leath¬ 
ery; as in the species (Rosa rugosa), and in addition to 
flowering freely in June, they continue to bloom more or 
less freely all summer and autumn. 
ALICE ALDRICH.—Sent out by the Monmouth Nursery 
several years ago and by its merits has won favor with 
many. It is a hybrid of Rosa rugosa and a tea rose 
and is of ironclad hardihood. A prominent rose grower 
in speaking of it says: “We consider this a remarkably 
fine bush rose for garden planting. It has lovely buds 
and its large double flowers of clear bright pink are 
borne during the whole growing season; very sweet and 
beautiful.” 
CONRAD F. MEYER.—A grand variety, a hybrid between 
Rosa rugosa and a tea rose. It has elegant long pointed 
buds that develop into perfectly double flowers, three to 
four inches in diameter, of tender silvery-rose, that are 
exquisitely perfumed. It is of strong growth and as 
hardy as an Oak tree. The finest of the Rugosa hybrid's 
to date. 
NEW CENTURY.—The flowers of this are borne in clus¬ 
ters, and are of good size, perfectly double, rosy-pink, 
deepening at the center, and pleasantly fragrant. Being 
a hvbrid of Rosa rugosa and the everblooming Clothilde 
Soupert, it is a profuse and constant bloomer. 
SIR TIIOS. LIPTON.—The finest- and best Rugosa hybrid 
giving double white flowers. It is of strong, robust 
habit and beautiful foliage and a free and constant 
bloomer of fragrant double pure white roses. Of iron¬ 
clad hardiness. 
Strong field grown plants, each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 
One each of the four for $1.00. 
STANDARD OR TREE ROSES. 
There are but few things in horticulture so strikingly 
beautiful and so picturesque as Tree Roses; the displays 
of them in Fngland and Germany when in flower, being 
truly marvelous. Until of recent date, these standards 
were produced only by “working” the different varieties 
upon stems of the dog rose, which unfortunately does 
not succeed in our American climate of bright sunshine 
and dry atmosphere; hence in the past, Tree Roses were 
not permanent and somewhat unsatisfactory in the 
United States. It is with joy I am able to state we now 
have Standard Roses, “worked” or budded upon Rosa 
rugosa stocks and we may now have and enjoy these 
objects of great beauty with the same measure of per¬ 
fection and satisfaction as our Knglish or German friends 
BABY RAMBLERS AS STANDARDS. 
Too much can scarcely be said in favor of these per¬ 
petual blooming roses as standards Not only are they 
beautiful in June, but they continue to lend bright color 
and a fairyland effect to the rose garden and house 
grounds throughout the entire summer and autumn. 
Handsome plants with fine heads, each $1.00; doz., $10.00. 
OTHER VARIETIES. 
In addition to the above, I offer an assortment of 
choice varieties, grown as standards; such as Dorothy 
Perkins, Frau Karl Drusciiki, Magna Ciiarta, Tau- 
sendschon, etc. They are all beautiful plants with 
large full heads. 
Price, each, 80c; doz., $8.00.
