Alicia Lovett (H. W.) Both buds and flowers are large; of ideal 
form, are held on stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet long and 
the color is a lively bright shell-pink with shadings of rich sulphur 
at the base of the petals. The flowers are of remarkable substance 
and long-lived, whether cut or left to remain upon the plant, and 
are pleasantly perfumed. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber. One of the finest pink pergola climbers 
ever found. Large flowers, and a long season bloomer. 
Climbing* American Beauty. This climbing form of the famous 
pink Rose, so long the American favorite for cutting, is as lovely 
and fragrant and deeply pink as the bush form. The hardy climber 
blood with which it is crossed gives healthy, perfect foliage and a 
strong climbing habit of growth; the super-abundant bloom in 
prime before the June show of the bush type. 
Crimson Rambler. Plant a vigorous, hardy climber. Dark red; 
one of the very best for porch work and lattice work. 
Doctor W. Van Fleet. One of the newer type of climbers which 
combines absolute hardiness with flowers large as in the Tea and 
Noisette classes. This variety shows a mass of beautiful clustered 
buds, which open out into large, shapely flowers; delicate flesh- 
white. 12 to 18 inches long. 
Dorothy Perkins. A beautiful shell-pink climbing Rose. This is 
the finest Rose for hedging and arbors of any we have ever seen. 
Dr. Huey. (New). Blackish red, of velvety nature, 
heavy bloomer, big grower ; worthy of a trial in 
anyone’s garden. 
Bxcelsa. This has superseded the old Crimson 
Rambler. It is vigorous in growth with healthy 
dark glossy green foliage. The flowers are very 
double, produced in large trusses. Color is in¬ 
tense crimson-maroon ; tips of petals tinged with 
scarlet. 
Gardenia. The tight, very numerous little yellow 
buds are beautiful in early summer, the flowers 
opening up creamy white, jasmine-scented. 
Hiawatha (H. W.). Its flowers are about 1% 
inches across, and produced in long, pendulous 
sprays, with frequently from forty to fifty 
flowers on a spray. In color, it is brilliant ruby- 
carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of 
golden stamens. 
Jacotte. Quite distinct in this class; not only 
fragrant, but is rich in heretofore unknown 
color shades. The bud is orange-yellow; the 244- 
inch flower (clustered up to 10) is light salmon- 
orange shaded red and yellow. Foliage is dark 
green. 
Mary Wallace. (New). Although a good pillar Rose, it becomes self-supporting 
and makes an ideal dooryard bush. The flowers are semi-double, bright clear rose- 
pink with salmon base. These are often 4 inches wide and appear intermittently 
during the season, following their first glorious outburst in late spring. 
Mme. Gregfoire Staechelin. This new variety is the aristocrat of the Climbing 
Roses. Its beautiful flowers are of an enormous size and in color are an iridescent 
pearl-pink, splashed with carmine. Delightfully fragrant. Hardy vigorous grower 
with large disease-resistant foliage. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Winner of Gold Medal of National Rose Society’s Expo¬ 
sition. Flowers are scarlet-shaded crimson; corresponds to Climbing American 
Beauty, Dr. W. Van Fleet and others as to size and beauty. Blooms long, an 
excellent variety for pergola work, and one of the best climbers sold. 
Primrose. A pure yellow, hardy Climbing Rose. Its large, double flowers are a 
soft rich primrose-yellow and are borne in clusters of four and five on an extreme¬ 
ly vigorous plant, with beautiful foliage. 
Silver Moon. 4- to 5-inch semi-double flowers; pure white with thick clusters of 
yellow stamens. 
Shower of Gold (H. W.). The color is a deep golden yellow with orange shadings 
in the center. This fills the “long felt want” for a Yellow Rambler.”
