CLIMBING AND CREEPING ROSES Assorted "Wichuraiana” 
This race of climbing Roses is deserving of much greater 
popularity than they have yet achieved. We cannot praise 
them too highly. The Prairie Roses are prone to mildew 
and subject to insects; they are odorless also. The 'infu¬ 
sion of Wichuraiana “ blood ” has eliminated these defects 
and a far wider range of color is obtained. Those who have 
failed with the “ Prairie ” and “ Rambler ” Roses should 
plant these and success is assured. They are also useful for 
covering banks and terraces as well as for planting on graves. 
ALBA RUBIFOLIA. Pure white, double, foliage bronzy-red.

A cross between “ Persian Yellow ” and 
“ Antoine Due her .” It retains a good deal of 
the character of the former in the wood and 
bark, but the foliage is vastly improved, 
being large and very plentiful. The habit of 
the plant is robust, producing vigorous shoots 
in abundance, branches, straight and of good 
size. The coloring of the flowers is very rich, 
a marvelously rich shade of chrome-yellow 
with a glint of coppery-rose in the center. 
The expanded flower is full, large and globular, 
the center petals being well incurved, forming 
a perfectly double bloom. The coloring in 
the fully expanded flower is gloriously superb, 
Turneresque in its blending of ^eddish-gold, 
orange-yellow, nasturtium-red and opaline- 
pink. Words are inadequate to fittingly de¬ 
scribe the almost riotous luxury of rich, 
warm color contained in each bud and open 
flower. A Hardy Yellow Rose, one that is 
really hardy in the north in this country, 
has been the goal for which the world’s best 
hybridizers have been striving for years. 
This Rose is not grown on its own roots; all 
are budded on briar stock. (See cut.)

2d size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. Dormant

doz.
