General Collection of Hardy Roses 
23 
Roses 
The plants offered in this list were all grown in the open ground during last summer, cut back and potted 
during January in 4-inch pots. Plants of the Tea, China and Polyantha classes vary in height from 8 to 12 inches. 
No order can be filled before March 15 for these potted Roses, as plants are in growing condition, and if 
planted out before danger of frost is past, loss may ensue. After May 1 no plants will be set out, as success in 
transplanting is then uncertain. 
Price, 25 cts. each; 10 plants for $2, or 100 plants for $15.

Climbers 
Crimson Rambler. Vigorous climber. Produces a 
profusion of crimson flowers in clusters. Is a most 
showy plant while in bloom in April and May. 
Our New Climbing Clothilde Soupert. This va¬ 
riety originated in our nurseries five years ago. We 
have given it a thorough trial 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 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. Strong field-grown 
plants on own roots. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10. 
Marie Gaze. Similar to Solfaterre, but lighter shade 
of yellow. 
Woodland Margaret. White; vigorous climber.

Flowers small, single, pure white: of trailing habit, 
and valuable for planting on slopes and terraces, which 
it soon covers with a mass of bright green foliage. It 
is hardy in the far north.

Marechal Niel. Deep chrome-yellow flowers. The 
most popular of all yellow climbing Roses.
