j OUR NEW, HARDY EVER. 
BLOOMING, CLIMBING ROSES, 
Both were awarded a silver medal by the 
Horticultural Society of New York. 
Both are remarkably free from the diseases 
affecting the old climbing Roses. 
These varieties mark an epoch in hardy 
climbing Roses. We advance the claim of 
ever-blooming because they have produced 
flowers in the fall as well as the first crop. 
A Candid and Unbiased Opinion : 
“ I think the greatest sensations in climbing 
or rambling roses will be Dr. Van Fleet and 
Silver Moon, neither yet in commerce. I 
have had a trial plant of the first named for 
five or six years, and it excels all other climb¬ 
ing pink roses as much as Killarney excels 
Hermosa. It is a Wichuraiana-President 
Carnot cross, with shell pink blooms of perfect 
finish, borne on long stems, the general 
appearance suggesting a glass-grown Tea. 
The flowers last so well after cutting that it is 
likely to be very useful in the trade. 
I have not grown Silver Moon, but admire 
it greatly; it is a hybrid of the Cherokee rose 
of the South, creamy white, semi-double, with 
conspicuous golden stamens. It appears to be abso¬ 
lutely hardy, strong-growing, and a profuse bloomer; 
the size of the flowers will make it very remarkable.”

DR. W. VAN FLEET. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet, the parentage of which is Souvenir du 
Pres. Carnot X Rosa Wichuraiana, bears flowers which, 
when open, run 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, 
immune from mildew. (See cut.)

SILVER MOON. 
Silver Moon is the result of a most interesting cross, Rosa 
Wichuraiana XRosa Sinica—Cherokee rose. The flowers run 
four and one-half inches and over in diameter, clear silvery 
white in color, petals of great substance and beautifully cup¬ 
ped. 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 abund¬ 
ant, bronze-green, glossy and immune from mildew. See 
cut, page 127.
