558. PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. It is not uncommon to see 500 fo 1,000 
blooms on this dazzling red rose. Almost scarlet in its beautiful 
‘shimmering red. It-will be toaded with big, tong stemmed red roses. 
it is the top ranking climber in the red ones, and when you see this in 
bloom as they were this past June, it will just about take yout breath Be 
away with its gorgeous coloring, and roses hang thick on every stem. Sse 
This Scarlet Beauty, Paul’s Climber, has swept the world more com- d = 
pletely than any other climbing rose. Each 37c; 3 for 98c; 10 for $2.90. 
555. CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. A rose that never grows old in the 
‘minds of rose lovers. The flowers are very large, sweet. scented cs 
and as they go trailing along the fence with their great profusion of 
large flowers with long stems, they make you want more of the same 
kind. Each 37c; 3 for 98c; 10 for $2.90. 
556. CRIMSON RAMBLER (10 Sisters Rose). This, in my opinion, is another 
one of the grand climbing roses. It, like Climbing American Beauty 
and Paul’s Scarlet, is very hardy. June, as you know, is the month 
of roses, and just as sure as June rolls around, the Crimson Rambler 
will ramble along a trellis, or porch, or fence, and give you a lot of 
rich crimson roses that are well worthy of it long-time popularity. 
Each 37¢c; 3 for 98c; 10 for $2.90. ; 
557. DR. W. VAN FLEET. One of those roses that will cover the side of 
the building or a 10 foot high porch easily. Dr. W. Van Fleet needs 
no pruning. In fact, it resents pruning and will not bloom freely if it 
is pruned, so let them go and bloom and bloo™~ and bloem, which 
they will do. A beautiful flesh pink. Each 37c; 3 for 98c; 10 for $2.90. 
559. PRIMROSE. Began its life in France. It’s a beautiful flower. Its 
double yellow blooms will cover the plant for four weeks in the 
spring. A double climbing rose that’s really yellow. Each 37c; 3 for 98; 
10 for $2.90. ; 
566. BLAZE. Plant Pat. No. 10. The fiery red climbing rose you have all 
heard about. It will do a fine job of blooming for you. It is one of - 
the most widely advertised throughout the entire United States. 
Ours are the true hardy Blaze Scarlet Climbers. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50.
