PLANT DEPARTMENT 
NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE, 
DOROTHY PERKINS. 
A new Rose of American origin which has been highly praised by 
all 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, M me. Cecil Brunner, resembling bisque work in their daintiness. The flowers 
are fragrant and last a long time in good condition. It is said to have withstood a 
winter temperature of 20° below zero uninjured

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.
