Two Splendid, New , Climbing Roses. 
Both belong to the Disease-Proof Class of Rosa Wichuraiana Hybrids. 
In offering these splendid, new Climbing Roses we give the introducers’ 
descriptions. \\ e add that we have seen the original plants growing and 
blooming and that we endorse all that has been said in their praise. They 
are certainly fine additions to this rapidly growing class of Climbing Roses, 
they are entirely distinct from any now in commerce and all lovers of fine 
Climbing Roses are advised by us to make a place for them in their gardens 
as they have come to stay and will be the best in their colors for a long time 
to come in our opinion. Offered at reduced prices this year. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. 
A new Rose of wonderful beauty and merit. A cross between the 
American Beauty and an unnamed seedling. Color rosy crimson, identi¬ 
cal with its pollen parent, the American Beauty, and with the’same 
exquisite fragrance, a quality rarely found in climbing Roses. Of 
strong habit of growth, making shoots of from ten to fifteen feet 
in one season, hardy as an oak. Will thrive and bloom in almost 
any situation where a climbing or pillar Rose is desired. 
Flowers three to four inches in diameter, finely formed on 
long stems, are produced in great profusion. The foliage is 
large, deep green and entirely free from black spot or 
mildew. One of the first Roses to bloom in the spring, 
comes into flower with us in the latter part of May and 
the first week in June, and continues in full flower 
for a month or more, with occasional bloom during 
the growing season; the plant with us having 
buds and flowers until nipped by frost in No¬ 
vember.” 
Price, strong 2 year plants, SI.50 each. 
CHRISTINE WRIGHT. 
“ A very strong climbing Rose 
with large, thick, leathery green 
foliage, which is proof against 
mildew or black spot. The 
flower is a bright, clear wild- 
rose pink, three and one-half to 
four inches in diameter, double, 
borne singly and in clusters; very 
beautiful in bud and lasts for 
days after cutting. The plant is 
a perfect mass of bloom in June 
and continues to bloom occasion¬ 
ally all during the season; the 
plants in our nurseries having bud 
and flowers until nipped by the 
frost. Beautiful as a post or pillar 
Rose and perfectly adapted for 
covering arbors, walls and trellises 
and the best hardy pink Rose we 
know.” 
Price, strong 2 year plants. 
SI.25 each. Special offer.—One 
of each above for $2.50. 
New Chrome-Yellow Everblooming Rose 
Duchess of Wellington 
A unique variety in its coloring 
which is very rich and effective. 
The ground color is chrome yel¬ 
low through which run veins of 
rich orange and shadings of the 
same running into the rich yellow, 
Like all high colored roses it is 
subject to variation but the rule 
is that it. intensifies rather than 
lightens in its wonderful shadings. 
The flowers are large, not very 
double, petals of fine substance, 
the blooms remaining long in per¬ 
fection. Very free blooming and 
fragrant. Price, 1st size, $1.00 
each; 2d size, 75c. each. Young 
plants, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz.
