We urge deliberation in the choice of Climbing Roses. Unlike the bush roses, they 
are not easily moved in later years, and, once planted, are likely to be permanent. There 
is always a best climbing rose for its purpose. Make your selection with a view to rankness 
of growth, foliage effect, color and continuity of bloom and you will insure harmony and 
satisfaction for many years. 
Below are some of our recommendations for Climbing Roses which supplement the 
many reliable and good kinds included in our list of Old Fashioned Roses on a preceding 
page. Prices are for first grade, largest size, 2-year-old specimens, delivered prepaid in 
California on orders for $1.00 or over; outside California add 10 cents each to cover the 
extra shipping costs on these very large plants.

"The roses received ARE THE FINEST I HAVE EVER BOUGHT FROM ANY 
FIRM.” So writes a customer in Oregon, just as this catalogue goes to press. It is typical of 
many kind words received from our customers.
