CLIMBING MARIE GUILLOT (Good & Reese, 1S97) 
— (C. T.) A grand pure white Rose of great merit. 
CLIMBING METEOR (Origin unknown)—C. H. T.) 
A grand climber; color velvety maroon; very free 
bloomer. 
CLIMBING PAPA GONTIER (Cherrier, 1904)—(C. 
T.) A climbing sport of Papa Gontier. Color rich 
red; a beauty. 
CLIMBING PERLE DES JARDINS (Henderson, 
1891)—(C. T.) A strong growing form of Perle 
des JaVdins. Color deep golden-yellow. 
CLIMBING PALL NBYRON, MADAME WAGRAM, 
or COMTESSE DE TURENNE (Bernaix, 1895) — 
C. H. T.) Bright satiny-rose changing to carna¬ 
tion-pink; fine bud. 
CLIMBING RICHMOND (Alex. Dickson, 1912)—C. 
H. T.) On account of its unique color and free 
flowering habit, it is an important addition to 
the Climbing Rose section. Color, pure rich scarlet. 
CLIMBING SOUVENIR DE LA MALMAISON (Ben¬ 
nett, 1893)—(C. B.) Clear flesh, edged with blush; 
large; very double. 
CLIMBING SOUVENIR OF WOOTTON (Dingee, 
1899)—(C. H. T.) Bearing deep crimson flowers 
of the largest size. Extra. 
CLIMBING WHITE MAMAN COCHET (Needle, 1911) 
—(C. T.) Here we have a climbing form that 
will become as popular a climber as its narent 
has as a bush Rose. Grand, huge white flowers 
tinged pink. 
CLOTH OF GOLD, or CHROMATELLA (Coquereau, 
1843)—(N.) Sulphur-yellow, deeper center; large 
and double. 
DUCHESS DE AUERSTADT (Bernaix, 1888)—(C.

fectly double flowers; color vivid nankeen-yellow. 
ELIE BEAUVILLAIN (Beauvillain, 188.7) — (C. T.) 
A beautiful salmon-fawn on the order of Gloire de 
Dijon. 
GAINSBOROUGH (Good & Reese, 1903.) (C. H. T.)— 
A climbing form of Viscountess Folkestone. Its 
delicate coloring is difficult to describe, being ele¬ 
gantly tinged fawn, almost white and lustrous 
as satin. When in full bloom it resembles a large, 
fine, fluffy Peony, but without a suggestion of , 
stiffness, often measuring eight to nine inches in j 
diameter. An enthusiastic admirer from the state | 
of Oregon describes it as a Rose reminding him 
of a beautiful girl wearing a light colored Gains¬ 
borough hat, ornamented with white ostrich 
plumes, hence the suggestion of its name. 
GLOIRE DE DIJON (Jacotot, 1853)—(C. T.) Color 
buff, with orange center; very large and very 
double and full. 
JAMES SPRINT (Sprunt, 1858)—(C. C.) Deep cher¬ 
ry-red, very double and hardy. 
LAMARQX'E (Marechal, 1S30)—(N.) "White shaded 
lemon; large, very sweet scented; an excellent 
variety. 
MARECHAL NIEL (Pradel, 1864)— (C. T.) This is 
the old standby yellow Rose in the South, where 
it is hardy; indeed, it will bloom in any garden, 
but is not hardy in the North. Immense deep 
golden-yellow flowers with the deepest, richest 
tea fragrance of all Roses. 
MADAME JULES GRAVEREAUX (Soupert & Not- 
ting, 1901) — (C. T.) Deep yellow, center rosy- 
peach; large, full and very fine. 
PILLAR OF GOLD, or E. VEYRAT HERMANOS 
(Bernaix, 1895) — (C. T.) The blooms are double 
to the center, of the largest size, and come in im¬ 
mense bouquets of from five to ten blooms on a 
single branch, and the effect throughout the 
blooming season is a perfect sheet of color. The 
color, ruby-red suffused with golden-yellow, is a 
happy combination. 
HEINE MARIE HENRIETTE (Levet 1878) — (C. T.) 
Deep cherry-red. This Rose takes the lead as a 
climber from New Orleans to Philadelphia. 
REVE d’OR, or GOLDEN CHAIN (Ducher, 1869) — 
(N.) Buff-yellow, very free bloomer, very pretty. 
Strong grower; will do well in any situation. 
RUTH VESTAL, or CLIMBING BRIDE (Origin un¬ 
known)— (C. T.) A lovely pure white climbing 
form of the Bride. We predict a great future 
for this Rose. 
SOLFATARE (Boyau, 1843)—(N.) Fine, clear sul¬ 
phur-yellow; very fine, large shapely bud with 
fully double open flower. Extra fine. 
WILLIAM ALLEN RICHARDSON (Ducher, 1878) — 
(N.) Very deep orange-yellow; medium size, but 
extremely showy and distinct; very attractive. 
ZELIA PRADEL (Pradel, 1861) —(N.) Demon-yel¬ 
low, changing to creamy-white; very fine. 
Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses 
Standard Varieties, including the Hybrid Polyanthas. They are Hardy. 
A class of miniature Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. They are of dwarf habit and 
bloom so freely as to cover the entire plant with bloom all through the summer and fall. The plants are 
splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they are hardy. Let us tell you something about these 
miniature Roses. While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, America is just beginning to 
wake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and any one who attempts to handle Roses without 
including this class will bump into something real hard. They are useful, either pot grown or for bed¬ 
ding purposes or for hedge effects. Completely hide the plant with bloom from early till late. 
BABY FARBENKONIGIN — Thisf is a new baby 
Rose bearing flowers that in color are same as 
Farbenkonigin or Queen of Colors. Rosy-red. 
Extra. 
DEWDROP (Hobbies, 1913)—Cherry-red; lasts a 
long time, grows easy. A very double Rose. 
GEORGE ELGER (Turbat & Co., 1913)—A lovely 
little golden-yellow Polyantha Rose, with a good 
admixture of Tea blood; like all of its class, it is 
free in growth, free in bloom, with small, glossy 
foliage produced in profusion. The dainty little 
pointed yellow buds open into pretty little sym¬ 
metrical Roses. Will prove a very popular cor¬ 
sage variety; is grown in quantity now for this 
purpose. 
GRUSS AN AUCHEN (1915)—This is the most glori¬ 
ous of all the Polyantha Roses bearing numerous 
flowers of golden-yellow flushed pink, the only 
highly colored Baby Rambler. Extra fine. 
LE MARNE —Dwarf, perpetual flowering Polyantha. 
Semi-double flowers, bright salmon-rose at the 
edges, rosy-blush inside. Blooms abundantly and 
continuously in bouquets of fifteen to forty flow¬ 
ers. Has fine keeping qualities. 
MME. FRANCISftUE FAVRE —Dwarf Polyantha. 
Robust in growth, quite continuous in bloom, 
flowering in large trusses of single flowers. 
Color, velvety crimson, with large silver-white 
eye. Extremely showy. 
TIP TOP, “Baby Doll” (Lambert, 1915)—This de¬ 
lightful little “Sweetheart” Rose is a wonder. 
The color is absolutely new, and quite startling 
in its brilliancy, golden-yellow tipped with clear, 
bright cerise. The foliage is narrow, long and 
sharply pointed, a deep glossy green—a very 
beautiful setting for the lovely little doll-roses, 
a bench of “Baby Doll” being an even parterre 
of delicious color. 
ANNA MULLER (Schmidt 1907)—This Rose is very 
much the same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, 
except in the colors of its flowers, which are a 
shiny, brilliant pink. 
BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR 
(Lavavasseur, 1903)—This is the original Baby 
Rambler, daddy of them all. It is in bloom all 
the time, flowers in large clusters of brightest 
crimson. 
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN (Welter. 1911)—Its flow¬ 
ers are large and so much like ‘‘Tausendschoen.” 
It is a bush form of the “Climbing Tausendschoen” 
or “Thousand Beauties,” having all the charms in 
the variable coloring in its flowers that its parent 
has. 
CATHERINE ZEIMET, or WHITE BABY RAMBLER 
(Lambert, 1901)—Grows to a height of twenty 
inches and produced double pure white flowers in 
abundance. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890) — 
(H. Poly.) Known the world over as one of the 
very best of all bedding Roses. The only rival 
of “Hermosa” as a bedder and market pot plant. 
The color effect is beautiful ivory-white, shading 
towards the center to bright silvery-pink. Every¬ 
body’s Rose. 
ELLEN POULSON (Poulson, 1912)—Dark brilliant 
pink, large and full, sweetly scented. Most florif- 
erous. Very fine. * 
ERNA TESCHENDORFF (Teschendorff, 1911)—The 
flowers are of a deep crimson color, flushed with 
carmine, resembling the dazzling color of “Gruss 
an Teplitz.” It is much sought after in America 
to bloom in pots during the winter and for Easter 
time. 
EUGENIE LAMESOH (Lambert, 1900)—Orange-yel¬ 
low, passing to clear yellow, shaded rose; pro¬ 
duced in large clusters. Fine.
