We urge careful deliberation in the selection of a Climbing Rose because, unlike the bush 
roses, the climbers, once established, are not so easily moved and more likely to be permanent. 
With the vast assortment of climbing roses available to Pacific coast gardeners there is everything to 
choose from and there is always a best climbing rose for its purpose. Select your climber with a 
view to its rankness of growth, foliage effect, color and continuity of bloom, harmony of surround¬ 
ings, and you will insure satisfaction for many years to come. Below is a carefully selected list of 
dependable climbers that will meet all needs; we indicate approximate heights for plants when full 
grown. Our advice, if desired, is always at your service. 
PRICES are for first grade, largest size, 2-year-old specimen plants delivered prepaid in Cal¬ 
ifornia on orders for $1.00 or over; beyond California, add 10 cents each to partly cover shipping 
costs on these large plants.
