Climbing American Beauty 
Beautiful buds and large flowers of excellent form on good 
stems; almost the same rich color and fragrance as the Bush

flowers; the size may be increased by pinching off some of the 
buds; strong, healthy, vigorous, reaching 10 feet or more; early; 
H. W. Climber and Pillar. 45c each. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet 
Delicate flesh-pink, sometimes almost white, deepening into 
rosy-flesh at the center; beautiful pointed buds resembling hy¬ 
brid teas, opening into semi-double, cupped flowers borne singly 
on stems of good length so may be used for cutting; medium 
early to midseason and blooms over a long period. Very free 
from insects and diseases; good growth, attaining a height of 
20 feet; prune moderately. H. W. Climber. 45c each.

30 ft.; one of the best white climbers. H. W. 50c each.

Long pointed crimson buds opening into large pink blooms 
marked ruby-carmine on the outside; fragrant; blooms freely 
with long stems that may be used for cutting; early. 50c each. 
c Wardy ‘Water lilies 
Perhaps the easiest flower grown. Once established, they re¬ 
quire no cultivating, no weeding, no watering, except to see 
that the pool does not become dry. A pool with 8 to 12 inches 
of good soil, a foot or more of water, and sun will give you 
During May Climbers give a greater 
display than any other roses 
Water Lilies, continued 
beautiful water lilies from May till frost. They need not be 
taken up during the winter if the water is deep enough so it will 
not freeze to the soil. When grown in boxes in concrete pools 
the boxes should be about 8 inches deep and 14 to 16 inches 
square, covered with about a foot of water. Suggestions for 
building pools will be sent on request. 
These are good strong plants and will bloom a few weeks 
after planting. Water Lilies postpaid when ordered in quan¬ 
tities of $2.00 or more. Otherwise, postage is additional.

als; large about 5 in. in diameter; vigorous; blooms freely 
from early to late and remains open till well past noon, some¬ 
times all day in cool, cloudy weather. $1.00 each. 
Comanche. One of the best of the sunset colors; opens apri¬ 
cot shaded red, with age becoming coppery-orange, glowing red 
in the center, with prominent yellow stamens; remains open 
until well past noon; about 5 in. in diameter. $1.50 each. 
Escarboucle. One of the brightest intense reds becoming crim¬ 
son, with garnet stamens; of good size. $2.50 each.

to 7 in. in diameter; vigorous; bloom freely. 60c each.
