HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
the same rampant growth and bearing large, well 
formed white flowers with a violet tint. 
Rubin, another excellent variety, having ruby red 
flowers, and Queen Alexandra with rose colored 
flowers may be suggested with confidence as val¬ 
uable additions. 
Leuchtstern, or Starlight, is a unique German 
sort bearing single cineraria-like flowers, distinct in 
every way and beautiful. Waltham Rambler, one of 
the latest claimants for popular favor, is of similar 
style, but with larger and showier flowers and pro¬ 
nounced superior to the last mentioned. 
Tausendschon, meaning CC A Thousand Beauties,” 
is one of the very latest productions, bearing abun¬ 
dantly the largest flowers of any in the class, of a 
beautiful pink shade. It is a very handsome and 
distinct variety, and is certain to become a great 
favorite with rose lovers. 
So far I have named kinds belonging to the poly- 
antha family, only. During the last ten years 
many crosses with the Wichuriana have been effect¬ 
ed, and the results have been most gratifying in the 
production of new varieties. 
1 he type Wichuriana is a Japanese trailing rose 
of vigorous habit, having rich, glossy foliage, and 
the crosses have this merit in addition to charming 
blooms. 
Dorothy Perkins is a beautiful pink, which can 
not be overpraised. It is a true pink, clear, delicate, 
and the flowers are borne in the greatest profusion. 
Farquhar is another of almost the same shade, 
yet distinct in the formation of its flowers.
