This wondrously beautiful 
rose arch is the marvelous devel¬ 
opment of plants purchased at 
the nursery just thirteen months 
before photo was taken. Such 
new climbing roses as Dorothy 
Perkins, Lady Gay and Hia¬ 
watha can be depended upon to 
create such effects in this short 
time under reasonably favorable 
conditions. 
Even the restricted city gar¬ 
den can be made wonderfully 
beautiful by the free use of these 
charming climbing roses, planted 
along fences and trained over 
pergolas and arches.
