CLIMBING AND RAMBLER 
ROSES 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the 
spring beyond the cutting out of old or dead 
wood, and the shortening of the laterals to con¬ 
form with the space to be occupied. A severe 
pruning in July after they have finished flower¬ 
ing is beneficial. The cutting away at that 
time the old wood will encourage vigorous 
growth which will produce an abundance of 
flowers next season. 
American Pillar. A large single flower of a love¬ 
ly shade of pink borne in immense bunches. 
(XX) 60c; (A) 40c

ting. (XX) 60c; (A) 40c

of orange-apricot, tinted copper. Delight¬
