New Climbing, or Trailing 
Roses 
The following new Roses have been tested in my grounds and have 
been found distinct and desirable. 
ALBERIC BARBIER. Very strong grower, long green branches, 
leaves dark green, bronzy red in the spring, glossy; flowers in 
clusters, semi-double or double, opening well, 2% to 3 % inches in 
diameter, of a nice creamy white and canary-yellow in the middle; 
buds of a darker yellow color; beautiful variety, tea-scented, flowers 
in May. R. Wichuraiana x Tea Shirley Hibbert. 50 cts. each, $5 
per doz. 
LEUCHTSTERN. Introducer’s description: We received an 
Award of Merit for this beautiful variety at the Temple Flower Show 
in 1901, where our plants caused quite a sensation. The flowers are 
single, in large corymbs, bright rose with a distinct white eye, ex¬ 
ceedingly pretty and attractive. Foliage and habit resembling Crimson 
Rambler, excepting that it is not quite so vigorous; it is well suited 
for climbing moderate distances, and for forming large bushes, 
pillars and pyramids in the garden. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. 
REN£ ANDRE. Very vigorous plant, branches green, violet- 
brown on the sunny side, leaves of medium size, dark green, glossy; 
flowers singly or in small clusters of three to four flowers, semi¬ 
double, 2% to 3 inches in diameter; buds dark saffron-yellow, tinted 
dark orange-red, petals bright saffron-yellow and orange-red at the 
base, turning pinkish-white, veined with carmine-red. Very strong 
scent of the Tea Roses; flowers in May. R. Wichuraiana x Noisette 
l'ldeale. 50 cts. each, $5 pen doz. 
WICHURAIANA RUBRA. Very long clear green branches, 
leaves of medium size, clear glossy green; large clusters of single 
flowers, IK to 2 inches in diameter, bright scarlet petals tinted 
orange-red, white at the base, numerous orange-red stamens; flowers 
in June. R. Wichuraiana x Crimson Rambler. 75p. each, $8 per doz. 
" This interesting novelty resulted from a cross between 11. Wichuraiana and 
Crimson Rambler, and I doubt it any hybrid ever showed its parentage in 
such a marked degree. The fine trusses of single flowers are of the rich pink 
color seen in Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, perhaps a shade or two deeper. 
The foliage is of the bright green of Crimson Rambler, but shining as in if, 
Wichuraiana. I should not recommend these hybrid wichuraianas exclusively 
for ground work, believing them to be worthy subjects for clambering over 
old trees, rockeries, or to train over a low fence. The latter position is an 
ideal one; the long growths will soon reach the top and will fall gracefully 
over the other side. A rustic fence could be constructed in the garden for 
them. If about 4 feet high the view would not be obstructed, and when the 
Roses reached the ground they would continue their growth along the surface. 
"This new comer will bo splendid for table decoration, its sprays are so 
light, and if gathered rather young and placed in a cool, shady plaoe in water 
the flowers expand freely. The rich array of golden stamens is a noticeable 
feature of a beautiful variety, and there is, moreover a delicate violet-like 
fragrance. Rosa Wichuraiana rubra apparently inherits the late flowering 
habit of the type, so that one may make quite an attractive mound of these 
two, the crimson variety trailing over a clump of roots in the center, and the 
white variety surrounding it, and nearer to the ground.”—Miss Jekvll in 
The Garden. 
Prunus Maritima 
This is the Beach Plum, which grows wild very plentifully in some 
localities on the seashore. It bears an edible fruit, which makes a 
very good jam, and I have seen it in fruit when only two feet high; 
but its chief value is its beautiful white flowers, with which it is 
literally covered early in the spring. I have secured a fine stock of 
nursery-grown plants. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Stuartia Pentagyna 
This is not a novelty, but an extremely scarce, rare and and beauti¬ 
ful shrub, belonging to the Camellia family and resembling a single 
Camellia in flower. The flowers are creamy white with crimson-red 
stamens, about 3 inches across, and very lovely, indeed. $1.50 each. 
New Phloxes 
The following Phloxes were raised on my own grounds and I enn 
commend them as being distinct and fine. Pot-grown plants ready 
May I. 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
DANKSKE DANDRIDCE. Light purple, large star-shaped 
white center, sometimes mottled purple and white; a distinct and 
lovely variety. 
CHESWICK. Salmon, bright crimson center. 
SPRINCDALE. Deep pink, dark center; fine. 
MARCARET ELLIOTT. White, red center; extra large panicles; 
very showy. 
JEAN. Deep pink, large bright red eye; very distinct. 
ROSALIE. White blush center; delicate and distinct. 
OEFIANCE. Bright deep red, almost as bright as Coquilicot and 
much better habit. 
MARCARET SLACK. Bright pink, red center; dwarf and bushy ; 
loose panicles; very free-flowering. 
FIELD-GROWN PHLOX 
I have a limited supply of field-grown Phlox ready for early spring 
delivery. They are the best named varieties in Whites, Pinks and 
Reds, but the selection of varieties must be left to me. 15 cfs. each, 
$1 50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Salix Salamoni 
This is a new variety of Weeping Willow, of remarkably rapid 
growth. A tree of it on my grounds, four years old, from a cut¬ 
ting, is 20 feet high. It is not as pendulous as the old Weeping Wil¬ 
low, but is much handsomer. 50 cts. each. 
Japanese Wind-Flower 
( Anemone, Queen Charlotte) 
One of the finest of this class. The plant is of strong, vigorous 
growth, attains a height of 24 to 30 inches, and commences to flower 
early in August, continuing to bloom until November. The flowers, 
which are semi-double, frequently measure four inches across, and 
are of that pleasing, silvery pink color of the La France rose, a color 
rarely found in hardy perennials. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Rosa Wichuraiana rubra.
