climbers, raised by Mr. M. H. Walsh who 
originated the fine varieties E.xcelsa. Hia¬ 
watha, La Fiamma, Lady Gay, etc., etc.

certainly is the finest double white C limb¬ 
ing Rose yet produced. The flowers are of 
the purest white, very double and of the 
largest size in the class. They are borne in 
large trusses and very freely, delicrtely 
fragrant. The foliage is a handson e dark 
glossy green, very ornamental. The growth

vigorous in growth densely covered with 
beautiful, glossy foliage. This variety pro¬ 
duces masses of flowers in large clusters. The 
color is a deep, golden yellow with orange 
shadings in the center. It is a very promising 
sort, and fills the ” long felt want ” for a 
” Yellow ” Rambler.

$2.50 per doz. 
THE FLAMING SCARLET CLIMBER, 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 enhanc¬ 
ing 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, 50c, each, $5.00 per doz.; 
3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.

almost immune from all diseases. 
Price, 1st size, $2.00 each. 3d size, 75c. each. $7.50 per doz.

A strong, vigorous climbing sport of Jthis well-known and valuable rose which 
is bound to become popular. In all respects, excepting growth it is identical 
with Richmond; growth vigorous and of the true climbing habit. It blooms
