THE GOOD & REESE CO.’S WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 
HARDY CLIMBING 
CLIMBING FRAU KARL DR.USCHKI (Lawrence, 1906.) (H. 
N.) As “Frau Karl Druschki” nr “White American Beau¬ 
ty” has become the leading white Rose this will un¬ 
doubtedly follow and become the most popular climbing 
white Hose. It is entirely hardy and is an exact counter¬ 
part of “Frau Karl Drusehki” in every way except that it 
is a most vigorous climber. Pure paper-white flowers. Su¬ 
perb in every way. 
CLIMBING MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH (Holland, 1912.) (C. 
P.) - One of the finest types of the Climbing Baby Roses; 
of dwarf growth, producing in constant profusion flowers 
of a pleasing bright pink; borne in .huge trusses; fine. 
EXCELSA —See Red Dorothy Perkins. 
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 shado of flesh-pink on the 
outer surface, deepening to rosy-flesh 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. 
GRAF ZEPPELIN (Bohm, 1910.) (C. P.)—A brilliant rose- 
colored flower that attracts from a great distance; vigor of 
Crimson Rambler. Cupped form; double. In immense 
trusses; unusually floriferous. This Rose is unsurpassed 
as a climber. 
HIAWATHA (Walsh, 1905.) (W.)—This Rose is just coming 
into its own, being largely forced in pots for Easter time 
and its good qualities as a grand outdoor climber are becom¬ 
ing known. There is no other Rose so brilliant as 
Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its flowers 
are about one and one-half inches across, and produced in 
long, pendulous sprays, with frequently from forty to fifty 
flowers on a spray. In color it is brilliant, ruby-carmine, 
with a clear white eye and a mass of golden stamens—a 
glowing combination of colors, which can be seen at a great 
distance, and which does not tire the eye as do masses of 
Crimson Rambler. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, 
with bright green, glossy foliage, which is retained until late 
in fall. 
RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA (Walsh, 1909.) (W.) 
—It is a good deal to claim for a Rose, but we are within 
bounds when 'We describe Excelsa as a brilliant Crimson 
Rambler flower on glossy, varnished Wichuraiana foliage. 
The defects of Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foliage in 
unseasonable weather, and its defoliation by insects: the in¬ 
fusion of Wichuraiana blood assures an ornamental climber 
which is nearly evergreen, and this will assure this lovely 
crimson-scarlet pillar Rose a place in every American gar¬ 
den, for it is quite hardy in addition to all its other fine 
points. The v flowers are very double, produced in large 
ROSES—Concluded. 
trusses of thirty to forty, and almost every eye on a shoot 
produces clusters of flowers. The color is intense crimson- 
maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The finest 
of all Crimson Ramblers. 
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.” 
TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES (Schwartz, 
1906.) (C. P.)—A Climbing Rose that comes to us from 
Germany. The flowers upon first opening are the most deli¬ 
cate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose, might be described 
as a white delicately flushed pink changing to rosy-carmine. 
It gets its name from its many flowers and the variation in 
coloring; beautiful; will become as famous as Crimson 
Rambler or Dorothy Perkins. We wrote the above a year 
ago, and now we can add that this Rose is sweeping the 
country like a prairie fire. You can word paint all you 
want to and then you will have left something unsaid. Sim¬ 
ply a wonder. 
VEILCHENBLAU, The Blue Rose (Schmidt, 1909.) (C. P.) — 
The most wonderful Rose of the century for the reason that 
it marks a decided advance in the color of the Rose hitherto 
only dreamed of. Veilchenblau or Violet Blue is the proper 
name, but no doubt it will be known in America as the 
Blue Rose. This Rose is going to have a larger sale by far 
than Crimson Rambler. Have we seen it flower? Well, we 
guess yes, and our word for it if you want something to 
cause you to stop and take notice, the Blue Rose will All 
the bill. At a distance of fifty or a hundred feet a bush of 
the Blue Rose in full bloom will startle you. When such 
firms as Ellwanger and Barry, of America, and Alex. Dick¬ 
son and Sons, of Ireland, give this Rose unstinted praise, 
it's about time for the plodding nurseryman to stop, look 
and listen. A seedling from Crimson Rambler, semi-double 
flowers larger than that variety, produced in large trusses. 
This Rose first opens reddish-lilac but quickly changes to 
amethyst and steel-blue, finishing violet-blue. Very distinct 
and extremely pleasing. A wonder. Going to sell ? Yes, 
everybody will want and will demand the Blue Rose. 
WARTBURG (Kies, 1910.) (C. P.)—This is a strong grow¬ 
ing Rose, a seedling from Tausendschoen, with charming 
carmine-colored bloom in huge trusses. 
WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS (B. R. Cant, 1908.) (W.)—It 
has been the cry of nurserymen for years for a white 
climber that would rank up with Crimson Rambler, and 
now we have the pleasure of offering this White Dorothy 
Perkins that in every way is the equal, if not superior, 
, to Crimson Rambler as a red, and Dorothy Perkins as a 
pink. This Rose has no rival as a white climber.

gold medal, N. R. S. A Rose for the masses. 
DOROTHY PERKINS (Perkins, 1902.) (W.) —A most beauti¬

terpart of Crimson Rambler in every respect, except that

terminated with a large cluster of flowers. 
FORTUNE’S DOUBLE YELLOW, or BEAUTY OF GLAZEN- 
WOOD (Fortune, 1845.) (H. N.)—Yellow flaked with car¬

Pure white suffused with yellow at base of petals; very free 
and very fragrant; fine for arches and pillars. In Ohio
