ingly difficult.

range.

POLARIS (Uv. 5S. Plant Patent No. 386) 
The Fragrant White Climber 
A very hardy climber of robust growth. Disease resistant and 
exceedingly free blooming. The pure white individual flowers 
are often 2 inches in diameter and occur in large clusters. It is 
specially valuable where purity as well as profusion of bloom is 
essential. In addition, it is believed to be the most fragrant of 
the Climbing Roses. The foliage is light and shiny green, sparkles 
in sunlight and is ornamental in itself throughout the summer. 
During its test period, no signs of black spot or mildew has ever 
been seen. Unquestionably one of the best hardy white Climb- 
ing Roses. Each, $2.00; Doz., $20.00. 
THOR (Uv. S. Patent No. 387) 
Color of flower: Brilliant scarlet-red. The flowers are per- 
fectly formed, very slow in opening and when fully open, 4 t@#5 
inches across. The flowers, although large, are perfectly shaped 
and just as handsome as those of a Hybrid Tea Rose. F.owers 
are produced abundantly on spur branches 12 to 18 inches long, 
which are stiff, holding the flowers in perfect position. Flowers 
have from 55 to 60 petals, do not discolor when fully open. 
Without any question of doubt, the finest scarlet Climbing Rose 
yet introduced. Horvath claims this to be the finest creation to 
date.

spot has never appeared during a three-year test period.
