CLIMBING ROSES (continued) 
PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER. Great clusters of ex¬ 
tremely brilliant red blooms. In the spring it is a mass 
of color and may produce some flowers in early au¬ 
tumn. The plant is moderately vigorous but is ex¬ 
tremely satisfactory because of the blooming habit. 
CL. PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER. Flowers identi¬ 
cal with the bush form. The only difference is that in 
(his type the plant has a climbing or pillar habit. 
CL. RED RADIANCE. A strong-growing plant carry¬ 
ing many flowers identical in color and form with the 
bush Rose of the same name. 
SCORCHER. Another comparatively new Australian 
Rose. The blooms are semi-double and brilliant scar¬ 
let-rose in color, borne in great quantities on lorig 
stems. There seem to be two flowering periods, one in 
the earlier days of the season and a second a few 
weeks later, with a few flowers produced until late 
autumn. It is an intermittent rather than a continuous 
bloomer. 
SPANISH BEAUTY (Mme. Gregoire Staechelin). 
Broad, frilled petals of a delicate pink, with stains of 
red in the bud form. Very fragrant. 
CL. TALISMAN. Identical in color and form of 
bloom with the famous bush variety. 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
A class of Roses that bloom practically the entire growing season. The flowers are small, but car¬ 
ried in such large clusters that the plant is covered with color. For massing, edging, or low hedges they 
are superb.

Quantity lots of 25 or more for border planting. 20c each, prepaid. 
CECILE BRUNNER. Seashell-pink. The "Sweetheart" 
Rose. Makes sprays of rosy pink "baby" buds that 
open to seashell-pink. Delightful for children's gar¬ 
dens. A perfect Rose for boutonnieres and for charm¬ 
ing, fragrant table bouquets. Grows 15 inches. 
CHATILLON ROSE. Enormous clusters of bright 
pink, semi-double blooms. We consider it a fine 
variety 
EBLOUISSANT. The color is a deep rich red, shaded 
with velvety crimson. Very free blooming, and a Rose 
that is growing in favor in the large gardens of the 
country. 'The plants are dwarf, rarely growing more 
than a foot high. 
ELSE POULSEN. Large, single ,bright rose-pink 
flowers carried in clusters on upright-growing plants. 
GLORIA MUNDI. One of the most brilliant Roses in 
the Polyantha family. The full double blooms ore 
glowing orange-scarlet, larger than the overage, and 
borne in clusters. A vigorous, bushy plant and very 
free blooming. 
GOLDEN SALMON. A distinct, bright, and pleasing 
orange color; really the best Polyantha of this par¬ 
ticular shade. Makes a splendid display when planted 
in large groups, but the faded trusses should be cut 
if continuous bloom is desired. 
GRUSS AN AACHEN. A variety that can be de¬ 
pended on to give flowers the entire season. The 
blooms are double, slightly perfumed, light flesh-pink 
marked with salmon-yellow, the center much deeper 
than the edges. In autumn it seems to show distinct 
coppery red lines. 
IDEAL. In a mass planting makes a splendid show¬ 
ing of rich dark scarlet blooms shaded very much 
darker. The plants are vigorous and bear a great 
amount of bloom In compact bunches. At its best in 
spring and autumn. 
KATOAHINA ZEIMET. Very large clusters of small, 
double white flowers that resemble little chrysanthe¬ 
mums. An extra-fine variety despite the size of the 
blooms. 
KIRSTEN POULSEN. The plants grow from 31/2 to 4 
feet high and therefore are useful for massing or for 
hedges. The single, light red flowers are carried in 
great pprays. Interesting because of its brilliancy . 
LAFAYETTE. A variety characterized by splendid 
growth and free-blooming qualities. The flowers are 
large, semi-double, light crimson, and borne in clus¬ 
ters of 40 or more blooms. The color holds well during 
hot weather. This variety differs from most others of 
the class and seems to be a member of one new group 
which includes Else Poulsen and Kirsten Poulsen. 
MISS EDITH CAVELL. Small, semi-double flowers 
of brilliant scarlet-red with darker shadings. 'The 
blooms are carried in large clusters on well-branched 
plants, and frequently cover the plant with a gorgeous 
display of color. 
RUTH SHAMBURGER. A new variety originating 
in our own fields. It is a member of the famous Poul¬ 
sen family and bears many of the characteristics of 
that group. It may be termed a tall-growing baby 
rambler. In color the blooms are very light pink, semi¬ 
double, and borne in large clusters. The individual 
flowers have five petals, which hove considerable 
substance and remain in good condition for some days 
after cutting. The plant is a vigorous grower with 
clean glossy foliage, which is seldom affected by 
disease. Visitors to our gardens have spoken very 
highly of this new variety. 2-year plants, 50c each, 
$5 per dozen, prepaid. 
ORLEANS. One of the most important Polyantha 
Roses, as nearly all the orange varieties are de¬ 
scended from it. The color of Orleans is light red with 
a tinge of white at the center of the bloom; flowers 
are small, a little more than semi-double, and are 
produced all summer. 
TRIUMPH DE ORLEANS. Rowers II /2 to 2 inches 
across, semi-double, open, very lasting, slightly fra¬ 
grant, cherry-red, borne in large clusters on long, 
strong stems. Foliage glossy, bright green. Growth 
very vigorous and hardy. Bushes 20 to 28 inches. 
Continuous bloomer.
