tnten.se crimson-scarlet of the flowers. The intensely brilliant color is accentuated

hrilliPot tf'tsscs of thirty to forty on each; the body of the flower is 
in color but toward,s the edges of the petals they light up with a wonderful scarlet-

“/ urite simply to ex^ 
press our pleasure in your 
rose ‘ Silver Moon’ now 
floweritig in great beauty 
in my garden. It was 
left last November with 
some protection about 
the root but with its 
branches entirely un¬ 
sheltered. The past win¬ 
ter being so severe it 
seemed probable that we 
might 7iot find it alive 
in the spring; but it sur¬ 
vived 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 "

. * Roses Dr. H . \ an Fleet and Silver Moon purchased from you have been very sat¬ 
isfactory. The first year their caries 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 lost. One plant of Dr 
Van Pleet I left in an exposed place and only pul dressing around the roots. The wood was killed 
back so far that I shall protect it this win er. A neighbor has both these roses on a s one wal 
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 and Dr Van Fleet 
ts an exquisite shade of pink and lovely in the house. It is a pleasure to find roses that arequite 
all they are described. A LICE STACKPOLE, Matlapoistett. Mass. (A'oti. 15, 1911.) 
" A mom the collection of plants ordered from you in March was the rose Dr W 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. Riverdale, Md. (May 25. 1912)
