CLIMBING ROSES—Own Roots 
Banksia Fortune!. Vigorous climber; flowers pure 
white; medium; wood more or less thorny. Blooms 
in clusters in the spring only. 
Banksia White. ..Flowers somewhat smaller than B. 
Fortune!, produced in immense quantities in small 
clusters. Strong-growing climber. 
Banksia Yellow. Same as B. White, except flowers 
are yellow. Very conspicuous. 
Clothilde Soupert, Climbing. This variety originated 
in our nurseries. We have cultivated it for ten 
years and can recommend it with the utmost confi¬ 
dence. 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 one of the favorites. 
Crimson Rambler. A vigorous-growing climbing Rose, 
producing a profusion of small crimson flowers in 
trusses. It is a most showy plant while in bloom, 
during April and May . 
Dorothy Perkins. This is said to be a hybrid of Wichu- 
raiana and Madame Gabriel Luizet. It is a vigorous i 
and rampant climber. The foliage is of a deep green, 
leathery texture, and remains on the plant nearly 
all winter. The flowers are from 1 to 1 Vz inches 
in diameter, and borne in clusters of from 10 to 
30, and very double, of a beautiful shell-pink color. 
Remains in bloom for several weeks. A most de¬ 
sirable new climbing Rose. Most effective for plant¬ 
ing on terraces and slopes.

ROSES BUDDED UPON MANETTI STOCK 
Price of plants, budded low, 35c each, $3 for 10; when selection is left to us, $25 per 100, or $12.50 for 50. 
Some varieties of Roses are almost impossible to propagate upon their own roots, and unless these are 
grown upon Manetti their cultivation would have to be discontinued. Others produce finer flowers when budded 
or grated upon the Manetti stock. They are espacially desirable for Florida and warm climates, as their roots 
penetrate the soil to a great depth. 
Budded Roses should be planted sufficiently deep so that the junction of the bud with the stock is from 2 
to 3 inches below the surface of the earth. Do not overlook this. 
The budded Roses should be carefully watched, and all suckers or shoots which grow out from below the 
place where the bud is inserted must be removed. If this is neglected, the stock will outgrow the bud and 
failure will surely follow. 
The foliage of the Manetti is composed of from seven to nine leaflets, whereas Tea, Hybrid and Bourbon 
Roses usually have but five.
