The open flowers approximate 4 inches in diam¬ 
eter. The plant is beautiful when out of bloom, 
by reason of its large and glossy foliage of 
decorative quality. 75 cts. each. 
ELECTRA. HM. (Veitch, 1900.) _ Cream- 
yellow, semi-double flowers of medium size. 
Vigorous climber. 
ELISA ROBICHON. HW. (Barbier & Co., 
1901.) Pretty semi-double blooms of light rose, 
shaded with pale yellow, are produced in great 
abundance on this strong-growing climber. 
EMILE FORTEPAULE. HW. (Barbier & 
Co., 1902.) Clear white flowers, delicately shaded 
with sulphur-yellow. 
EMILY GRAY. HW. (Williams, 1918.) A 
very remarkable new Climbing Rose which 
might almost be called a hardy Marechal Niel. 
Its golden yellow buds are long, tapering, and 
Hegant, opening to semi-double flowers of large 
size, pleasant fragrance, and a most delightful 
buff shade. The foliage differs from that of any 
other climbing Rose in its glossy and crinkled 
•quality and in the deep reddish brown hue of the 
young shoots. This variety was deservedly 
.awarded a Gold Medal in England, and bids fair 
to attain great popularity in America, because it 
is unique and is seemingly reliably hardy over the 
largest part of the Rose-growing territory, 
though probably requiring protection in New 
England and northern New York. It is well 
worth any protection it may require. $1.50 
each. 
ERNST GRANDPIERRE. HW. (Weigand, 
1900.) Small flowers of beautiful golden yellow! 
Extremely hardy. 
ETHEL. HW. (Turner, 1912.) Semi-double

Co., 1916.) Fragrant, cherry-red flowers, borne 
freely in very large clusters. A fine climber. 
EVANGELINE. HW. (Walsh, 1906.) One of 
a series of exquisitely beautiful single-flowered 
climbers originated by the late M. H. Walsh. 
Its white petals are tipped with carmine-pink, 
.and the large flowers entirely cover the plant 
late in June. The growth is rampantly vigorous 
and hardy. 
EVERGREEN GEM. HW. (Manda, 1889.) A 
dainty sort with buff-yellow buds which open 
to almost white flowers of single form. It pos¬ 
sesses a delightful penetrating perfume. 
EXCELSA. HW. (Walsh, 1908.) Of the same 
general form and type as the familiar Crimson 
Rambler, but of far better color, hardiness, and 
habit, and free from, its tendency to mildew. 
The flowers are of brilliant scarlet-crimson and 
are produced in immense clusters on plants of 
great vigor and beauty. Altogether the best of its

free. 
FRANCOIS JURANVILLE. HW. (Barbier 
& Co., 1906.) Bright salmon-pink flowers, with 
the base of the petals yellow, on an extremely 
vigorous plant, with good foliage. This variety

1902.) White, shaded with yellow, with Iarae
