free bloomer. Sweetly scented.

and double, of good form and fragrant; extra.

perfect form ; fragrant. 
MARSHALL P. WILDER (Ellwanger, 1884) —A great manv

to beat. Deep, rich glowing red.

fectly hardy, with immense flowers; full and double ; borne 
in great profusion. Color clear bright, shining pink; ex¬

of the very finest Roses. Cold medal, N. R. S. 
NOVA ZEMBLA (Mees, 1907)- A sport from Conrad F. Meyer, 
inheriting all the good qualities of its parent wnth the added 
merit that the flowers are pure white, full and sweet-scented; 
very fine. A Rose that will be widely planted. 
PAUL NEYRON (Levet, 1869) Deep rose; flowers of immense 
size; indeed many claim this to be the largest Rose grown. 
PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN (E. Yerdier, 1861) — Deep vel¬ 
vety crimson-maroon, full and of good form and perhaps the 
best of all the hardy dark Roses.

and Climbing Chinas. 
T i n G f a fo [, P li nt l n * * where they can climb on walls, fences, galleries, porches, pillars, pergolas, arches, 
, in fact, wheie\er a haidy climber is required. This list includes the Ramblers, Climbing Polyanthas, Wichuraianas etc. 
AMERICAN PILLAR (Conard, 1909) — (C. P.) A single flow¬ 
ering variety of great beauty, which appeals to everyone. 
The flowers are of enormous size, three to four inches across, 
of a lovely shade of apple-blossom pink, with,a clear white 
eye and cluster of yellow stamens. These flowers are borne 
in immense bunches, and a large plant in full bloom is a 
sight not easily forgotten. They last in perfection a long 
time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or berries, which 
are carried late into the winter; and as the plant frequently 
retains its lovely green foliage until the end of November, it 
forms a beautiful decorative subject throughout the autumn. 
A great Rose to grow in pots for Easter. 
BRAISWICK CHARM (Frank Cant, 1914) — (W.) For arches, 
pergolas, or for screens this variety is undoubtedly fore¬ 
most. Deep orange-yellow bud shading almost to white on 
the outer petals as the flower expands. The nearest ap¬ 
proach to the perpetual flowering Wichuraiana. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY (Hoopes Brothers & Thomas, 
1911) — (H. N.) A seedling from American Beauty with 
Wichuraiana and Tea blood in its veins. The introducers 
say of it: “Same color, size and fragrance as American 
Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit. Good foli¬ 
age and better blooming qualities. One plant of this new 
Rose will produce twenty limes as many flowers in June as 
the old American Beauty, besides blooming occasionally dur¬ 
ing the summer. Blooms three to four inches across; has 
proved perfectly hardy and stands heat and drought as well 
as any Rose in our collection." This Rose has already made 
its mark, and wherever it lias been planted it has pleased, 
until today we sell it by the tens of thousands. You lose if 
you are slow to take hold of the “Climbing American Beauty." 
It grows and blooms. 
CHRISTINE WRIGHT (Hoopes Bros. & Thomas, 1913) —(W.) 
A most exquisite new Rose, a cross between Caroline Testout 
and an unnamed seedling; it is of strong climbing habit, 
with large, heavy, dark green foliage, which is immune to 
disease. The flowers are double, from three and one-half to 
four inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, of 
perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded 
flower; in color a most refreshing bright wild-rose pink; it 
flowers profusely during June, and continues more or less 
throughout the season. 
GEISHA (Geschwind, 1914) (C. H. 1\) Brilliant scarlet- 
crimson. The long shoots are completely covered with bloom 
the entire length. A wonderfully pretty Rose. 
LE MEXIQUE (Schwartz, 1913) — (W.) Delicate silvery-rose, 
turning to rosy-white, reverse of petals light rose. Large for 
its class. Flowers full, opening well, produced in clusters. 
Continuous and perpetual flowering. 
ORIFLAME (Paul & Son, 1914)—(C. F.) Bright vivid rose, 
suffused with coppery-gold borne in bunches of numerous 
flowers with bold, fountain-like sprays. Extra. 
SHOWER OF GOLD (Paul & Son, 1910) — (W.) This variety 
produces masses of flowers in large clusters. The color is a 
deep golden-yellow, with orange shadings in the center. 
Enormous lateral branches are produced, which are densely 
clad with glossy green foliage that resists disease. This fills 
the “long felt want" for a “Yellow Rambler.” 
SILVER MOON (Henderson, 1910) — (W.) Flowers very large, 
four and one-half inches and over in diameter. Pure white 
in color; petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, form- 
• ing a clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yellow sta¬ 
mens in the center adds to its attractiveness. These flowers 
are borne on strong stems twelve to eighteen inches long, 
and are delicately scented. The plant is a strong grower, 
with large, glossy, bronze-green foliage. 
SOURCE DE OR (Turbat & Co., 1913) — (W.) A most beautiful 
variety. Large for its class. Full flowers. Color golden- 
yellow. A great acquisition, producing large panicles of 
flowers. A decided beauty. 
SWEET LAVENDER (Paul & Son, 1912)— (Mtf.) Bright pale 
mauve or lavender, with golden stamens. Most distinct. 
Dense, dark green foliage and many large bunches of flowers. 
Very vigorous. 
WICHMOSS. or “BABY MOSS” (Barbier, 1912) — (C. M.) 
This is a wonderful break in new Roses, being a cross be¬ 
tween the “Wichuraiana" and “Moss Rose." It has retained 
the scandent habit of the "Wichuraiana," making long 
growths five to eight feet in length with the glazed resistant 
foliage, while the bud is heavily mossed in bright green and 
has the peculiar aromatic odor of the moss family. The 
flowers are borne in clusters that are a daybreak-pink in 
color, opening into bloom that is a good semi-double in full¬ 
ness. A climbing moss is a wonder, and “Wichmoss" is the 
forerunner of an entirely new family of Roses; hardy.

AVIATEUR BLERIOT (Fauque, 1910)—Saffron-yellow, center 
golden-yellow; full and double, flowering in clusters. 
BALTIMORE BELLE (Feast, 1843) — (S.) Blush-white; in 
large clusters. A splendid hardy climber. An old favorite. 
CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or MISS G. MESSMAN (Mess- 
man, 1911) — (C. P.) There has been a widespread demand 
for a Crimson Rambler that would bloom more than once. 
Here you have it. Everyone knows how Baby Rambler is 
always in bloom. This is simply a climbing form of Baby 
Rambler, embracing all its good qualities. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER (Turner, 1893) — (C. P.) Bright crimson 
flowers produced in l^rge clusters of pyramidal form ; grand 
variety for pillars and arches and to train over porches; also 
makes a fine attractive hedge. Awarded gold medal, N. It. S. 
A Rose for the masses. 
DOROTHY PERKINS (Perkins, 1902) —(W.) A most beautiful 
deep pink; the flowers are borne in large clusters of small 
double blooms and are very sweetly scented ; quite first-class. 
Another Rose for the masses. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET (Henderson, 1910) — (W.) Flowers when 
open run four inches and over in diameter. The center is 
built high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The 
color is a remarkable delicate shade of flesh-pink on the 
outer surface, deepening to rosy-llesh in the center. The 
flowers are full and double, of delicate perfume; buds 
pointed. It very much resembles Souv. de Pres. Carnot in 
color. Superb. 
EXCELSA -See Red Dorothv Perkins. 
EMPRESS OF CHINA (Jackson, 1896) —(C. C.) Bright pink ; 
in largo clusters. 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD (Ludorf, 1908) —(C. P.) A coun¬ 
terpart of Crimson Rambler in every respect, except that it 
shows ever-blooming tendencies, many new growths being 
terminated with a large cluster of flowers. 
FORTUNE’S DOUBLE YELLOW, or BEAUTY OF GLAZEN- 
WOOD (Fortune, 1845) —(H. X.) Yellow, flaked with car¬ 
mine; very charming color. This is a great Rose in Cali¬ 
fornia, where it is seen at its best, although suited for gen¬ 
eral planting.
