Arbor, wall, and trellis each offers an 
opportunity to glorify the home with rich 
blankets of color, so easily achieved with 
good, healthy, hardy climb¬ 
ers. They flourish richly in 
good, deep soil. Severe 
pruning immediately after 
flowering brings strong 
growth, resistance to mil¬ 
dew (to which they are 
susceptible, especially 
when exposed to hot sun). 
Healthy, vigorous climbing 
roses produce clean-cut, 
fully-formed blooms in rich 
and endless color and 
variety. 
Climbins American Beauty 
AMERICAN PILLAR —A single-flowered type 
of great beauty. Flowers three to four inches 
across, of a lovely pink with a clear white eye; 
yellow stamens. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY— One of the 
best climbers. Color, a pleasing rose-pink, of 
splendid form and good substance. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER— This was the first of the 
ramblers introduced from Japan in 1894. Too 
well known to need a description; everyone is 
familiar with its large clusters of crimson flowers. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET —This rose, because of its 
dainty color and exquisitely shaped buds and 
flowers, appeals to all. The long, pointed buds 
are of flesh pink borne on stems 12 to 18 inches 
long. Splendid for cutting. 
DOROTHY PERKINS —A clear cherry-pink of 
sweet fragrance. Always gives satisfaction be¬ 
cause it is a rapid grower and always healthy. 
One of the very best climbers. 
EXCELSA —Color blood-red, the tips of petals 
tinged with scarlet. Flowers double and foliage 
a dark glossy green. Commonly called “Red 
Dorothy Perkins.” 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD— Known to many as 
the everblooming Crimson Rambler. It carries 
its bloom from Spring even into November. 
Very desirable. 
Our good name is the ingredient" 
HIAWATHA —Brilliant single carmine flowers 
with bright golden stamens. Petals showing 
white at base. Very striking. 
JACOTTE— Larger double, yellow flowers of 
orange-yellow tinted with reddish copper at 
base. 
MARY WALLACE —A new rose of the pillar 
type introduced by Dr. Van Fleet. FJardy. 
Prolific bloomer; semi-double rose-pink flowers, 
petals of which are salmon at the base. Best rose 
of this type so far introduced. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER— This new hardy 
climber was originated in England. It is not a 
Rambler, but is an entirely distinct hybrid and 
without question the most important addition 
to the list of Climbing Roses in many years. In¬ 
comparable in brilliancy of color, which is a 
vivid scarlet maintained without burning or 
bleaching until the petals drop. Flowers are 
medium size, semi-double,- very freely produced 
in clusters of from three to six each on large 
branched canes, the plants being literally cov¬ 
ered with flowers from top to bottom. It is strong, 
perfectly hardy, and has been awarded the 
Gold Medal by the National Rose Society of 
England; also the much coveted Gold Medal 
of the Bagatelle Gardens in Paris, France. Most 
highly recommended by the English horticul¬ 
tural press and the American Rose Society.

Paul's Scarlet Climber 
For Landscapins 
Climbing roses are of great use in a wide 
variety of situations. 
As pillars they are especially fine along a 
drive with the posts six to eight feet apart. 
Pylons of three or four posts are even more 
effective. 
Along fences the rambler types do very 
well or they can be carried on wires or 
chains between posts. 
At garden gates or pergolas they are almost 
indispensible.
