base; fragrant double blooms borne in 
clusters. A magnificent variety. $1 each, 
$2.50 for 3. 
BLAZE. Plant Patent No. 10. The ever- 
blooming Paul’s Scarlet Climber. This new 
climber has all the fine points of Paul’s 
Scarlet, with the added trait of flowering 
more or less throughout the season. As a 
pillar Rose it is a valuable addition; if 
pruned back to a height of 2J^ to 3 feet, it 
makes an excellent shrub. $1 each. 
DOUBLOONS. Plant Patent No. 152. The 
hardiest of the new yellow climbing Roses, 
it will be particularly valuable in New 
England. Saffron-yellow flowers—cup- 
formed and of good texture—are carried 
in sprays, opening one after another. The 
flowering period is prolonged and occasion¬ 
ally flowers appear later in the season. Ex¬ 
cellent foliage and rugged growing habit. 
$1.50 each, $3.75 for 3. 
FLASH. Plant Patent applied for. Very 
spectacular. Bright red, with gold petal 
reverse; rich, fruity fragrance. Dark green, 
heavy, rough foliage. Blooms from late 
May through June. Won first award for 
climbing Roses, 1940 All-America Rose 
Selections. Note. We have not had an 
opportunity to try out this Rose thor¬ 
oughly, but it had to pass a severe test to 
win the above award. $1 each. 
GOLDEN GLOW. Plant Patent No. 263. 
Originated by Mr. Brownell, who produced 
Golden Climber, this later variety should 
be a decided improvement. The very 
double rich yellow flowers are carried in 
extremely large sprays, and are remarkable 
for intensity of color and for unusual keep¬ 
ing qualities. Rich, glossy, luxuriant foliage. 
$1 each. 
NEW DAWN. Plant Patent No. 1. A sport 
from Dr. W. Van Fleet, and identical with 
it in size and formation of its flowers and

has the hardiness of Dr. W. Van Fleet, we 
regard it as the first worth-while ever- 
blooming climber ever introduced. $1.50 
each.
