TTAGE” COLLECTION 
OF HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
■ 
SEE COLORED PLATE OPPOSITE 
The wonderful advance made in Climbing Roses recently by the use of Rosa 
Wichuraiana as the mother parent has developed varieties of such merit that they 
vie with the bush Roses in popularity. Amongst climbing plants the Rose is easily 
supreme — and well it may considering its beauty and fragrance. The sentiment of the 
ages speaks eloquently for it. The hanging gardens of Babylon were festooned with 
them. King Solomon in eloquent and appreciative language paid tribute to their beauty. 
To the ancient Greeks the Rose owes its title of “Queen of Flowers.” The Romans at public 
and private festivals used them profusely; even making couches literally beds of Roses. 
A Rose-covered cottage suggests refinement and contains beauty. The sorts we offer in the “Cottage” Collection 
are all of American origin, fitted to our climate and are the cream of the present day aggregation of new types. They belong to the disease- 
proof class. The sorts of a decade ago were mostly infested with mildew but these new varieties are practically immune from that 
scourge. The foliage is glossy, highly polished, and so resists the disease. 
The lavish profusion of bloom on Climbing Roses, literally hundreds of clusters on each plant, their beautiful colors and exquisite fra¬ 
grance render them unequalled for covering houses, arbors, pergolas, fences and boundary walls. They are easily grown in large pots 
or tubs and make splendid ornaments for porches or lawns when trained to form large columnar plants. 
Pink Hardy Climbing Kose 
No. 1 DOROTHY PEKKINS 
A hardy Climbing Rose of American origin which has become a standard sort. 
The color is beautiful clear shell-pink; it blooms in trusses of from ten to thirty, 
each floret considerably over one inch in diameter, the stem to the truss being 
quite long, thus making them available for cutting and interior decoration. 
The flowers are fragrant and last a long time in good condition. Healthy, 
hardy and handsome. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.- 
3d size, from 3-inch pots, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
The Flaming Scarlet Climber 
The FleslvPink Climbing Rose 
No. 5 Dr. W. VAN FLEET 
The parentage is Souvenir du Pres. Carnot X Rosa Wichuraiana. The open 
flowers are four inches and over in diameter. The center is built high, petals 
beautifully undulated and cupped. The color is a remarkably delicate shade of 
flesh pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy flesh in the center. The flowers 
are full and double, of delicate perfume, buds pointed, stems twelve to eighteen 
inches and fine for cutting. The foliage is a peculiar shade of bronze green, 
large and glossy, with spines a bright bronze red. The variety is a vigorous 
grower, practically immune from mildew. 
Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 
3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 
No. 2 LA FIAMMA 
Nothing in the way of a Climbing Rose could be more showy than this. The 
flowers are single, about two and one-half inches across, borne in great clusters 
on long stems and fairly cover the plant. They are an intense, flaming scarlet 
with a silvery-white “aureole" in the center, accentuating and enhancing the 
splendid color effect. The stamens, too, add greatly to the coloring of the flowers. 
The growth of the plants is vigorous, in good ground and normal conditions 
the plants will attain a height of fifteen feet in one season and they are perfectly 
hardy. In addition they are practically immune from mildew which is such a 
drawback to many of the older Climbing Roses. 
The flowers being single the trusses do not rot as in many of the double sorts, 
they remain longer in good condition on the plant and last longer when cut. 
This is surely a gem of the first water. 
Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 
3d size, from 3-inch pots, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
“The most beautiful thing I have in my garden is a fence with Silver Moon, La 
Fiamma and Dr. Van Fleet Roses. The half has never been told of the hardiness 
and freeness from blight of these Roses.” 
Mrs. IV. W. DICKINSON, Little Rock, Ark 
The Large Clematis-Like fkose 
No. 3 SILVER. MOON 
Silver Moon is the result of a most interesting cross, Rosa WichuraianaXRosa 
Sinica—-Cherokee Rose. The flowers run four and one-half inches and over in 
diameter, clear silver white in color, petals of great substance and beautifully 
cupped. The center is filled with bright yellow stamens, a very attractive 
feature. It is very floriferous, the plants literally covering themselves with 
great Clematis-like flowers. They are borne on strong stems, twelve to eighteen 
inches long, and are delicately fragrant. The foliage is large and abundant, 
bronze-green, glossy and practically immune from mildew. 
Price, 1st size, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz.; 2d size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 
3d size, from 3-inch pots, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
“I write simply to express our pleasure in your Rose 1 Silver Moon' now flowering 
in great beauty in my garden. It was left last November with some protection about 
the root but with its branches entirely unsheltered. The past whiter being so severe 
it seemed probable that we might not find it alive in the spring; but it survived the 
cold and rough weather of the coast and is now a beautiful sight with its long creamy 
buds and magnificent flowers. Congratulating you upon this notable addition to 
your list of fine Roses, I remain." S. S. P ARMELEE, Westhampton Beach, L. I. 
The Snow-White Climbing Rose 
No. 4 WHITE DOROTHY 
A pure white “sport” from Dorothy Perkins. The habit of growth is identical 
and it has the same wonderful profusion of bloom equally free from disease. The 
clusters of flowers are equally large and it has the same delicate fragrance. It 
is a most valuable Climbing Rose and supreme in its class and color. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each. $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 
3d size, from 3-inch pots, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.

“ The Roses Dr. W. Van Fleet and Silver Moon purchased from you have been 
very satisfactory. The first year their canes were ten or twelve feet long. I earthed 
them up eight inches and gave the canes a light covering of straw. Very little of the 
wood was iosl. One plant of Dr. Van Fleet I left in an exposed place and only put 
dressing around the roots. The wood was killed back so far that I shall Protect it 
this 'winter. A neighbor has both these Roses on a stone wall and they went through 
the winter without protection. These Roses are not only lovely in bloom, but have 
beautiful glossy foliage. Silver Moon is quite four inches across, a?id Dr. Van Fleet 
is an exquisite shade of pink and lovely in the house. It is a pleasure to find Roses 
that are quite all they are described.” ALICE STACKPOLE, Mattapoistelt, Mass. 
“Among the collection of plants ordered from you in March was the Rose Dr. IV. 
Van Fleet which is now in bloom, and can safely say that I have never seen a more 
Perfect and beautiful Climbing Rose.” JOSEPH L. SHIPLEY, River dale, Md. 
Fiery-Red Rambler Rose 
No. 6 EXCELSA 
A splendid, new Climbing Rose, remarkable in many ways but particularly in 
the brilliant fiery-red, or intense crimson-scarlet of the flowers. The intensely 
brilliant color is accentuated by the great 
masses of giant trusses produced on the See 
plants, and furthermore by the contrast 
with the deep green, glossy foliage. The explanation 
flowers are very double; they are larger r ... _ 
than any of the Rambler Roses and borne , " ustrat,on 
in trusses of thirty to forty on each; the V below 
body of the flower is brilliant in color but 
towards the edges of the petals they light up 
with a wonderful scarlet-crimson. It is very 
vigorous in growth and belongs to the disease- 
proof race of Climbing Roses developed by 
crossing on Rosa Wichuraiana. 
Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 
per doz.; 2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 
per doz.; 3d size, from 3-inch 
pots, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
Our Third Size Roses 
Are grown in THREEdNCH Pots 
The cut shows a fair sample 
of a two-inch pot plant as usu¬ 
ally sent out by the mail trade and 
a fair sample taken from our 
stock growing in three-inch pots. 
They are superior to the young 
Roses from two-inch pots usually 
sent out. because the larger pot 
gives ample room for root action 
and allows the plant to grow 
naturally. They are sturdy and 
compact and when sent by ex¬ 
press with the soil on the roots, 
transplanting scarcely checks 
their growth.
