NEW CLIMBING, or TRAILING ROSES 
I he following new Hoses have been tested in my grounds and have been found distinct and desirable. 
ALBERIC BARBIER. Very strong grower, with 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 Shir¬ 
ley Hibbert. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
LEUCHTSTERN. Introducer’s description : "We re¬ 
ceived 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, 
exceedingly pretty and attractive. Foliage and habit 
resembling Crimson Rambler, excepting that it is not 
quite so vigorous; it is well suited for climbing mode¬ 
rate distances, and for forming large bushes, pillars and 
pyramids in the garden.” 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
KENfi ANDRfi. 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 or four flowers; semi-double, 
2 K to 11 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 Hoses; 
flowers in May. H. Wichuraiana X Noisette l'ldeale. 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
WICHURAIANA RUBRA. Long green branches; 
leaves medium size, 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. li. 
Wichuraiana X Crimson Rambler.SOc. each, $5 per doz. 
"This interesting novelty resulted from a cross 
between if. Wichuraiana and Crimson Rambler, and I 
doubt if 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, be¬ 
lieving 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 be splendid for table decora¬ 
tion, its sprays are so light, and if gathered rather 
young and placed in a cool, shady place in water the 
flowers expand freely. The rich array of golden sta¬ 
mens is a noticeable feature of a beautiful variety, and 
there is, moreover a delicate violet-like fragrance. Jiosa 
Wichuraiana rubra apparently inherits the late-flower¬ 
ing habit of the type, so that one may make quite an 
attractive mound of these two, the crimson variety trail¬ 
ing over a clump of roots in the center, and the white 
variety surrounding it, and nearer to the ground.”— 
Miss Jekvll, in The Garden. 
ELECTRA. A cross between the single Multiflora and 
IV. A. Richardson. Double yellow flowers, produced 
in the greatest profusion. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
QUEEN ALEXANDRA. Large corymbs of blossoms, in way of Crimson Rambler, but paler in color. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
SPLENDENS (Ayrshire). Not a new Rose, but one of the very old-fashioned Roses revived. Strong, rampant grower, for covering banks 
or trees. Flesh-color; large and double. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
FELICITE PERPETUE (Sempervirens). Another old-fashioned Rose; strong grower and free bloomer; creamy white; beautiful, small 
and full. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
ROYAL CLUSTER. Similar to Crimson Rambler, out with white, sweet-scented flowers produced in large clusters. 30c. each, $3 per doz.

LORD PENZANCE’S NEW HYBRID SWEETBRIERS 
Dormant Hardy Roses can be supplied from October 20 to April 1, Tea Roses all the year. 
The Sweetbrier, or Eglantine, is acknowledged by all to possess one of the sweeteD perfumes that nature has provided, and its deli¬ 
cious scent is the object for which it is usually cultivated. These new varieties are ' t improvements upon the old sorts. They are 
hybrids obtained between the common Sweetbrier and various old-fashioned garden Roses, and are possessed of the following advantages: 
The flowers, which are borne in wondrous profusion, are varied in color from white, through several shades of pink, to very dark red 
or crimson. 
For vigor or growth there is scarcely anything in the Rose world equal to them. Plants three years old have now many shoots on tnem 
that rise to the height of 12 feet. These, with a slightly outward bent and clothed with flowers of exquisite tints, produce a gorgeous effect 
not easily forgotten by any who have seen them. 35 cts. each. $3.50 per doz.
