ALIDA LOVETT. (H.W.) Both buds and flowers are large; of ideal form, are held 
on stiff stems 1% to 2 feet long and the color is a lively bright shell-pink with 
shadings of rich sulphur at the base of the petals. The flowers are of remark- 
able substance and long-lived, whether cut or left to remain upon the plant, and 
are pleasantly perfumed. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. This climbing form of the famous pink Rose, 
so long the American favorite for cutting, is as lovely and fragrant and deeply 
pink as the bush form. The hardy climber blood with which it is crossed gives 
healthy, perfect foliage and a strong climbing habit of growth; the superb- 
abundant bloom in prime before the June show of the bush type. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. Plant a vigorous, hardy climber. Dark red; one of the 
very best for porch work and lattice work. 
DOCTOR W. VAN FLEET. One of the newer types of climbers which combines 
absolute hardiness with flowers large as in the Tea and Noisette classes. This 
variety shows a mass of beautiful clustered buds, which open out into large, 
shapely flowers; delicate flesh-white. 12 to 18 inches long. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. A beautiful shell-pink climbing Rose. This is the finest 
Rose for hedging and arbors of any we have ever seen. 
DR. HUEY. (New.) Blackish red, a velvety nature, heavy bloomer, big grower; 
worthy of a trial in anyone’s garden. 
EXCELSIA. This has superseded the old Crimson Rambler. It is vigorous in 
growth with healthy dark glossy green foliage. The flowers are very double, 
produced in large trusses. Color is intense crimson-maroon; tips of petals 
tinged with scarlet. 
GARDENIA. The tight, very numerous little yellow buds are beautiful in early 
summer, the flowers opening up creamy white, jasmine-scented. 
JACOTTE. Quite distinct in this class; not only fragrant, but is rich in hereto- 
fore unknown color shades. The bud is orange-yellow; the 2%-inch flower (clus- 
tered up to ten) is light salmon-orange shaded red and yellow. Foliage is dark 
green. 
MARY WALLACE. (New.) Although a good Pillar Rose, it becomes self-support- 
ing and makes an ideal dooryard bush. The flowers are semi-double, bright clear 
rose-pink -with salmon base. These are often 4 inches wide and appear intermit- 
tently during the season, following their first glorious outburst in late spring. 
MME. GREGOIRE STAECHELIN. This new variety is the aristocrat of the Climb- 
ing Roses. Its beautiful flowers are of an enormous size and in color are an 
iridescent pearl-pink, splashed with carmine. Delightfully fragrant. Hardy, 
vigorous grower with large disease-resistant foliage. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. Winner of Gold Medal of National Rose Society's 
exposition. Flowers are scarlet shaded crimson; corresponds to Climbing Ameri- 
can Beauty, Dr. W. Van Fleet and others as to size and beauty. Blooms long, 
an excellent variety for pergola work, and one of the best climbers sold. 
PRIMROSE. A pure yellow, hardy Climbing Rose. Its large, double flowers are 
a soft rich primrose-yellow and are borne in clusters of four and five on an 
extremely vigorous plant, with beautiful foliage. 
SILVER MOON. Four- to five-inch, semi-double flowers; pure white with thick 
clusters of yellow stamens. 
SHOWER OF GOLD. (H.W.) The color is a deep golden yellow with orange shad- 
ings in the center. This fills the “long-felt want” for a Yellow Rambler.

FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. The regal White 
American Beauty. The distinctive form 
x and expression of its bud, half opened 
a>, state and maturity, make it a three-fold 
oe wonder in all its stages. In gardens they 
4 commence blooming with other June 
/ Roses and are conspicuous throughout 
the summer with their waxen white love- 
liness, blossoming until frost comes on 
and stops them. 
GEN. JACQUEMINOT. Known as the Gen. 
Jack Rose. This is one of the old reliable 
dark red Roses, free blooming, rich crim- 
son-searlet. One of the most beautiful. 
MAGNA CHARTA. Strong growing, early ‘ 
blooming, with large flowers of bright 
rose-pink. 
ULRICH BRUNNER. Cherry-red, a popu- 
lar forcing sort, and one of the varieties 
in most orders for hardy Roses. Its 
flower construction and habits are very 
pleasing, and the color appealing. A very
