Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond cutting out of 
very old or dead wood, and the shortening of the laterals and long canes 
to make the growth conform to the space to be covered; but a severe 
pruning in July, directly after they have finished flowering, is beneficial. 
Cutting away at that time all old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous 
growth, which will give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
We offer on this page a selection of eighteen of the most modern Hardy 
Climbing and Rambler Roses.

inherits the blazing color of Paul's Scarlet Climber and the everblooming

of both its parents. It is a very vigorous climbing variety which will 
grow to considerable height. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00

white in color, petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, forming a 
Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yellow stamens in the center 
adds to its attractiveness. 
HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best that can be selected 
in the Hybrid Perf>etual class, which, before the development of the Hybrid 
Teas, was the most popular type for garden planting, and even now they 
dare not be overlooked, but should be used extensively in conjunction with 
the other sorts, and especially so in localities where the hardiness of the 
Hybrid Tea varieties has not been established.

ance of the season; perfectly hardy.

ROSA ROULETTI 
Each $0.50, Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00 
Miniature Rose. Probably one of the old Lawrenceona Roses popular a 
century or more ago. After being lost to cultivation for many years, a 
plant was found growing in an Alpine window-garden by M. Correvon, 
the Swiss rock garden authority, just a few years ago. It is rapidly at¬ 
taining popularity as a rock garden "gem" and as an edging plant in 
front of Rose beds. The plant grows about 6 inches tall in bushy form, 
is healthy and hardy and blooms from early summer until frost. The 
tiny, rose-pink, quite double flowers are less than on inch in diameter. 
A real treasure. 
It may also be grown in the house without difficulty, blooming con¬ 
stantly. Charming little plant for a sunny window.
