O UR list of varieties of Hardy Climbing Roses is 
the most inclusive and extensive offered on the 
American continent. We began years ago this 
work of assembling the world’s best. 
Climbers of all kinds are now planted freely in the 
best Rose-gardens, not only as Climbers, but for pil¬ 
lars, fences, pergolas, and as cover for sloping banks 
and rough places. 
Included in the list are Large-flowered Climbers and Ramblers. The first, marked 
“LC.” (Large Climber) after the variety name, bear larger flowers than do the Ram¬ 
blers. These are carried on the older stems, and the only pruning needed is the short¬ 
ening of the side-shoots which have already bloomed, and the removal of worn-out 
dead wood. Of course, if the plant becomes too large, a few canes of the new wood 
must be removed. 
The Ramblers, marked “R,” bloom on shoots arising from wood of the previous 
summer, so it is necessary to save the new canes and omit pruning them in the spring. 
The proper time to prune Ramblers is after they have finished flowering in the sum¬ 
mer, by removing, at the base, the canes that have already flowered. 
TIME OF BLOOMING 
I N response to numerous requests from our friends, we have, at the end of the de¬ 
scription, designated the approximate time of blooming of all the Hardy Climbing 
Roses we offer. The dates given below refer to the vicinity of New York. 
May 25 to June 3 we call early, and have marked varieties that bloom at that time 
“E.”; June 4 to 12 we call midseason, and have marked such varieties “MS.”; June 13 
to 20 we call late, and have marked such varieties “L.” 
Other Abbreviations: HW., Hybrid Wichuraiana; HM., Hybrid Multiflora; CUT., 
Climbing Hybrid Tea, refer to the class. 
All Hardy Climbing Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10 of any one variety, except where 
otherwise noted. Those priced at $1 each are $9 for 10 of any one variety.
