Hardy climbing roses need only a foothold ; the long trails 
will twine and cling to any little trellis assistance and spread 
charming clusters over yards of wall space, will hang in 
festoons along eaves of your porch roof. Until midsummer, 
stems and foliage are beautiful as vines ; what they lack jn 
) ; this respect thereafter can he forgiven for the glory of the 
flowers they have borne. 
American Pillar. The single flowers range from 2 to 3 inches 
in width, arranged in mammoth, evenly rounded clusters. 
Brilliant carmine-rose, with distinct creamy white sector 
and yellow stamens at center. A superb arch cover.

did trusses of 8 to 12 flowers.

to 18 inches long ; delicate flesh-white. Season, 3 weeks.

is rich in heretofore unknown color shades. The bud 
is orange-yellow; the 214-inch flower (clustered up to 10),

very dark green and extra healthy.

size, and habit identical with Dorothy Perkins.

utility, this new variety shines among its fel¬ 
lows as a ground cover. Lustrous rugosa foliage (late 
lasting and undamaged by pests). Spangled with large, 
prettily ruffled flowers of bright pink. Fine for steep banks 
and to trail over stone walls.
