DR. J. H. NICOLAS 
(Plant Patent No. 457) 
That everblooming, extra-double, 
long-stemmed Climber so popular we 
could not anywhere near fill all the 
orders last season. Now we hope we 
have grown enough so all may enjoy 
these much-admired, unbelievably 
large Modern Climbing Roses created 
by the late Dr. Nicolas in our own 
gardens and now named for the great 
hybridizer. Fragrant blooms, en- 
trancing deep rose-pink, constantly 
repeating—three to four to each long, 
strong stem. Extremely hardy. See 
inside front cover. We urge you to 
order early! 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75; 12 for $15.
