DOROTHY PERKINS —(C.) Clear, shell-pink, 
with flowers borne in clusters; full and dou¬ 
ble, with crinkled petals. The foliage stays 
on until winter. This is, without question, 
one of the very finest and hardiest of all 
climbing roses. 
E. G. HILL — (H. T.) Constantly produces 
beautiful buds on long stems which open in¬ 
to large, full, fragrant blooms of velvety 
crimson. Considered by many to be the fin¬ 
est red rose.

crimson, shading to maroon; large, full; fra¬ 
grant; a good grower; one of the best dark

and almost every eye on a shoot produces 
clusters. Intense crimson-maroon, the tips 
of the petals tinged with scarlet. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI —(H P.) The 
grandest of all white roses. Flowers of im¬ 
mense size, frequently called White Amer¬ 
ican Beauty. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST —(H. R.) This hybrid 
is unlike any other Rugosa in having the 
beauty and freedom of bloom of the Baby 
Ramblers, but with the rugged foliage and 
hardiness of the Rugosa. It was originated 
by a Holland nurseryman and introduced by 
F. J. Grootendorst, for whom it is named. 
In luxuriance of bloom, and in sturdiness, 
this rose has fairly leaped into the greatest 
popularity. Blooms continually all summer. 
Splendid for low hedges or. edgings.

blooming variety of the Crimson Rambler. 
The color and habit are identical with that

liant crimson; not full, but large and ex¬ 
tremely effective; fragrant and of excellent 
hardy habit; forces well.

ing to velvety crimson; very fragrant; a free 
grower and most profuse bloomer; handsome 
foliage; especially valuable as a bedding- 
rose. 
HANSA —(H. R.) Reddish violet; very dou¬ 
ble. Absolutely hardy and requires no win¬ 
ter protection. 
HUGONIS —(H. R„) The “Golden Rose of 
China.” In May and June this graceful, 
shrub-like plant is a shower of gold, the arch¬ 
ing branches completely covered with beauti¬ 
ful two-inch single flowers of canary yellow.

white everblooming rose. Well formed, com¬ 
pact, pointed buds which develop into snowy 
white flowers, unusually double and fragrant.

profusely long after others are out of flower. 
It is undoubtedly the finest of its color. 
MRS. AARON WARD —(H. T.) Few roses at¬ 
tract so much attention as this beautiful 
French introduction. In color it is a distinct 
shade of Indian-yellow, which, as the flower 
expands, shades lighter toward the edges, 
making a splendid color combination, which 
is more decided in dry than in wet weather, 
the yellow shading sometimes disappearing 
almost entirely in extended periods of wet, 
cold weather; one of the freest-flowering 
varieties in our collection. 
MRS. CHAS. BELL —(H. T.) The shell-pink 
Radiance, with an exquisite salmon back¬ 
ground. Hardy, steady bloomer. Very 
sweetly perfumed. Strong-, vigorous grower.

ally handsome and free-blooming rose, of 
vigorous growth and fine habit. The color 
is a soft and delicate shade of pink; the 
flower is large and well-formed, very fra¬ 
grant and produced on good stems. A vari¬ 
ety of especial value, as it blooms continu¬ 
ously in the open ground.
