perfect blooms at one time. 
★CHRISTINE WRIGHT. New. Bright, clear wild-rose- 
pink flowers. Beautiful in bud and lasts for days.

ing Rose known. In wealth of bloom it stands unequaled, producing, as it does, immense masses of 
radiant pink blossoms. The foliage is superb at all times, and canes grow 20 feet in one season. This 
Rose is enthusiastically praised by all who see it. Hardy everywhere. 2-year size, 50 cts.; 3-year, 
$1; extra-large size, $1.50, by express. 
USEFUL AS A CuT-FLOWER 
W r Adolph Muller, Norristown, Pa., writes: “ The single Roses deserve to become more 
popular. On June 28 I cut a big bunch of American Pillar, placed them in a vase on my 
dining-room table, where they remained until the following Sunday without dropping 
their petals. They then commenced to fade after being cut and in water for eight 
days. Don’t think I ever saw a more beautiful bunch of flowers, they are far more 
graceful than the double flowers.” 
★PHILADELPHIA. Splendid flowers, 2j£ inches across and perfectly 
double; color pure, deep, rich crimson, more intense than the old 
Crimson Rambler. 
PROF. C. S. SARGENT. Delicate buff, with center 
clear golden yellow. Good for embankments. 2-yr. 
size only. 
★RUBY QUEEN. Rich ruby-red flowers with a clear 
white center. 
★SILVER MOOIT. Extra-large silvery white, semi¬ 
double flowers, with a mass of golden stamens. 
TAUSENDSCHON (Thousand Beauties). Pure white 
★ to deep pink; almost thornless. 2-yr. size only. 
★UNIVERSAL FAVORITE. Clear, bright pink; 
double, in clusters. 
★VEILCHENBLAU (Blue Rose). Rosy lilac, changing 
to metallic blue. 
★YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia). Flowers are rich 
lemon-yellow color. This Rose is a good compan¬ 
ion for Veilchenblau. 
★WICHURAIANA. Pure white; grows flat to the 
ground; splendid for embankments. 
★WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS. See inside back 
cover. 
Note how the foliage and flowers of American Pillar
