Cherokee. (Rosa laevigata ) . The well-known Cherokee 
of the South, where it has become naturalized; it is, 
however, a nhtive of China. A vigorous and ram¬ 
pant climber. Large, single white, fragrant flowers 
produced in early spring in great profusion; ever¬ 
green ; foliage bright, glossy green; most desirable 
for pergolas and trellises. Will climb to the top of 
the loftiest tree. 
Clothilde Soupert, Climbing. (P.) This variety origi¬

years and can recommend it with the utmost 
confidence. In color and form it is similar to its 
parent, the well-known Clothilde Soupert, but flowers 
are larger. A constant bloomer after the first year, 
as it flowers best on old wood. Vigorous grower, 
and has resisted a cold of 20 degrees below zero. 
This is a great addition to our list of Climbing 
Roses, and is becoming oive of the favorites.

Evergreen, or Double Cherokee. This is a double form 
of the popular Cherokee Rose. The flowers are 2% 
to 3 inches in diameter; very double, similar to the 
White Banksia. The plant being evergreen makes 
it a desirable climber. Blooms in late spring. 
Fortunes’ Yellow, or Beauty of Glazenwood. (Climbing). 
Yellow, flaked with carmine; very good grower; 
spring bloomer. 
Gainsborough. Rosy-flesh; flowers large; a fine va- 
rity. . . 
Lady Gay. A bright rose-pink; similar to Dorothy 
Perkins, but later, the flowers being larger and fewer 
to the cluster. 
Philadelphia Rambler. This variety is a cross between 
Crimson Rambler and the Hybrid Perpetual, Victor 
Hugo. Its color is deeper and brighter crimson, 
flowers larger and growth more erect than Crimson 
Rambler. 
White Banksia. The flowers of this very desirable 
Rose are pure white, violet-scented, very small, double, 
and borne in umbels of tw'elve to fifteen blossoms. 
Spring bloomer. 
Wichuraiana. (The Memorial Rose). Almost evergreen; 
flowers small, single, white; of trailing habit. Beau¬ 
tiful for planting on slopes and terraces, which it 
soon covers with a mass of bright green foliag-e. On 
account of its hardiness and glossy foliage, it is 
used extensively in the North for cemetery planting. 
The plant is a strong grower.

Roses Budded Upon Manetti Stock. 
One-year plants, budded low, 35 cents each; $3.00 
for 10; $25.00 per 100. We can supply strong, extra 
heavy, two-year plants, of most of the folowing varie¬ 
ties, at 50 cents each, $3.50 for 10, $30.00 per 100. 
It is almost impossible to propagate some varieties of 
Roses upon their own roots, and unless these are grown 
upon Manetti, their cultivation would have to be discon¬ 
tinued. Others produce finer flowers when budded or 
grafted upon the Manetti stock. They are especially 
desirable for Florida and sub-tropical sections, as their 
roots penetrate the soil to a great depth, and the plants 
are thus enabled to withstand extreme heat and drought 
and still produce flowers. 
The photo of a budded rose shows the budded por¬ 
tion, “A” and suckers from the Manetti stock “B.” 
Note the difference in the foliage. That of the Manetti 
is composed of from seven to nine leaflets; whereas, 
the tea, hybrid tea, hybrid perpetual and Bourbon roses 
usually have but five leaflets.
