Hardy Rambler Roses 
more popular at present than the true Ramblers, never- 
theless we ask you not to forget the very definite place 
these Ramblers have in any Rose-planting. We do not like to 
see them overlooked because, in our opinion, there is nothing 
finer than masses of charming clustered Ramblers producing the 
striking color effects that only Rambler Roses can give you. 
Then, again, the bloomimg season of most of these varieties comes 
after the main burst of bloom on the Large-flowered Climbers. 
We shall never be able to do without Bloomfield Courage, 
\ \ 7HILE the larger-flowered Climbing Roses seem to be far 
BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. R. A strong- 
growing, many-caned Rambler to 20 feet or 
more. The plant is covered in late May and 
early June with myriads of small single flowers 
of blackish crimson surrounding white eyes, 
and is one of the most spectacular of all 
Climbing Roses. If not pruned after blooming, 
the plants will bear heavy crops of brilliant 
little red berries lasting well into winter, a 
truly beautiful picture after the foliage has 
fallen. $1 each. 
CHEVY CHASE. R. (N. J. Hansen, 1939.) 
Pat. 443. Red. To those who desire color in 
masses there is nothing to compete with a 
Rambler Rose, and this history-making Rose 
is the finest of the great Rambler family. 
Bloom lasts for several weeks durmg May and 
June in this section, the rich crimson color 
changing slowly with age but never becoming 
objectionable. The result is a glorious shading 
of red for weeks and a good-looking plant from 
then until frost. An added feature ts a pleasing 
mild fragrance. The numerous canes will 
cover a large area, making it ideal for fences, 
walls or buildings. $1.50 each. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. R. Pink. Double pmk 
flowers are borne in huge trusses. An excellent 
bank-cover. It is one of the loveliest of all 
Climbers when in full bloom, and worthy in 
spite of its mildew. L. 85 cts. each.

growing Climbers with excellent glossy foliage.

the rigorous winter of 1933. Glossy foliage. 
Good-sized, double white flowers. Strong 
grower. MS. $1 each. 
GHISLAINE DE FELIGONDE. R. This al- 
most forgotten Climber is one of the nicest of 
the restrained-growth Ramblers. When well 
cared for it will make 8 to 10-foot almost 
thornless canes which bear heavy crops of 
shapely rich yellow buds which slowly change 
to creamy white when fully open. Flowers are 
borne in large phlox-like clusters. If not pruned 
after the June bloom and if well fed then, it 
will bloom right through the season. Try it on 
a pillar, fence, or trellis or let it ramble over a 
wall. MS. and L. $1 each.

like flowers borne in clusters on stems of aver-
