NEW hardy climbing rose, 
DOROTHY PERRINS. 
Grand Roses for the South, where they are entirely hardy. They may be kept outdoors 
in the North by laying them down and covering with leaves or litter. 
Climbing- Papa Gontier. A climbing “sport” from the well-known 
“ Papa Gontier” Rose. It is a vigorous climber. Color the same as the 
parent, rich cherry-red, very rich and deep at the base of the petals. 
Climbing Perle des Jardins. “ Climbing Perle” is a fine yellow Rose. 
Climbing Malmaison. A “sport” from the well-known “ Mal- 
maison,” French white, blush centre, exceedingly robust climbing habit.

splendid, large, double, white flowers. One of the grandest climbing Roses.

most popular Roses. 
Wm. Allen Richardson. Coppery-yellow, flowers large and full, 
long-pointed buds. 
Marechal Niel. The immense size, dark golden-yellow color of 
“Marshal Niel” is familiar to all. Peerless in color, unexampled for 
size, perfect in form, after more than a quarter of a century it still remains 
the ideal climbing Tea Rose. 
Red Marechal Niel. A fitting companion for the yellow and white ; 
the color is a beautiful shade of carmine-red. 
White Marechal Niel. Like the well-known “ Marechal Niel,” 
flowers of the same size, shape and perfume, but pure white.

per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, SI.00 per doz. 
A new Rose of American origin which has been highly praised by 
a ll who have tried it. The color is a beautiful, clear shell-pink, and it 
blooms in clusters. We append the opinion of Mr. W. C. Egan, a well- 
known rosarian: 
•* When a novelty proves exceptionally good I feel like calling the attention of my 
friends to it. I have grown about all the so-called Ramblers, but none among them 
can compare with the new climbing Rose, Dorothy Perkins. It flowers in clusters 
of from ten to thirty, each flower considerably over an inch in diameter , the stem to 
the cluster being quite long , thus making them available for cutting and interior 
decoration. The buds are of good length and rival those of that charming fairy 
Rose. Mme. Cecil Brunner, resembling bisque work in their daintiness. The flowers 
are fragratit and last a longtime in good condition. It is said to have withstood a 
winter temperature of 20° below zero uninjured .” 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 
per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Climbin g Clotbilde Soupe rt. 
An invaluable addition to our list of hardy Roses of climbing habit. 
It has withstood a temperature of twenty degrees below zero. It 
blooms most profusely on growths made the previous season, producing 
hundreds of clusters of perfect flowers. The color is French white with 
a distinct centre of silvery-rose; flowers perfectly double even in the 
hottest weather. It is the healthiest climbing Rose we know, has never 
had any disease and should succeed everywhere. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 
per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
CLIMBING WOOTTON. 
Large deep crimson flowers, richly perfumed. It is a very vigorous 
grower, almost impervious to mildew, ever-blooming, so that flowers may 
be expected from 
well - established" 
plants throughout 
the season. Too 
much cannot be said 
in praise of this grand 
Rose. {See cut.)
