Grade 
CLIMBING VARIETIES for 1940 
Climbing Roses lend themselves to so many situations that they are indeed 
among the most worthwhile of plants. For the pergola, the side of the house, 
a garage wall, to cover an unsightly fence—there are few subjects that will 
provide such beauty. In addition, there are many more blossoms available 
for cutting, usually on longer stems and of finer quality than in the bush 
form. And along the Pacific Coast and the South there is rarely any danger 
of freezing.
