AVIATEUR BLERIOT. HW. (Fauque & Sons,

shaded apricot, opening to a lighter shade, and 
with delightful magnolia fragrance. Blooms in

BARONESSE VAN ITTERSUM. HM. (M. 
Leenders & Co., 1911.) Bright light crimson 
splashed with yet brighter red, and with flowers 
of large size and much beauty, produced over a 
considerable period of time. Plants vigorous and 
of good habit. 
*BESS LOVETT. HW. (Van Fleet, 1905.) One 
of the best Roses grown by the lamented Dr. 
Van Fleet, whose hardy climbers are of world¬ 
wide reputation. Produces many large and 
fragrant flowers of clear, bright crimson, double, 
full, cupped, and of notable lasting quality. 
Though in general resembling the famed Climbing 
American Beauty, it is much superior to that 
variety by reason of its brighter color and its 
habit of not holding its dead blooms. (See 
color plate, page 36.) 75 cts. each. 
BIRDIE BLYE. HM. (Van Fleet, 1904.) 
Bright satiny rose, with fragrant blossoms, quite 
double. A very hardy climber, blooming pro¬ 
fusely. 
BLUSH RAMBLER. HM. (B. R. Cant & Son, 
1903.) Soft blush flowers, resembling apple 
blossoms, in large clusters; strong grower. 
BOUQUET ROSE. HW. (Theunis, 1911.)

very bright rose to lilac-white, and sometimes 
pure white; profuse bloomer.

crimson-red flowers. Hardy, and a strong grower.

flowers in clusters of 20 to 50, purplish rose in the 
inside and silvery rose outside. 
CHRISTIAN CURLE. HW. (Cocker & Sons, 
1909.) A sport of Dorothy Perkins, on which it 
is a great improvement. The flowers are flesh- 
pink and are produced in great profusion. A

& Thomas Co., 1909.) Very large, double 
flowers of exquisite wild-rose pink, produced on 
a strong and hardy plant of good habit. Blooms 
very early, and is an exceptionally beautiful 
Rose of American origin. 75 cts. each. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. HW. 
(Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas Co., 1909.) This is a 
sister of Christine Wright, and its moderately 
fragrant flowers are of rich carmine color, pro¬ 
duced in almost unbelievable abundance early 
in the season on strong and vigorous plants. 
Has had wide and deserved acceptance, its only 
bad habit being its way of holding faded flowers.

^CLIMBING ORLEANS. HM. (Levavasseur 
& Sons, 1913.) Brilliant carmine double blooms 
showing white centers and giving the effect of

clusters; the plants with dark green glossy foliage 
and possessing great vigor. One of the very best.

pink flowers, borne in clusters; double and very 
fragrant. 
DESIRE BERGERA. HW. (Barbier & Co., 
1909.) Unique in color, the outside of the petals
