Glimbing We 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond cutting 
out of very old or dead wood, and the shortening of the laterals 
and long canes to make the growth conform to the space to be 
covered; but a severe pruning in July, directly after they have 
finished flowering, is beneficial. Cutting away at that time all 
old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, which will 
give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
We offer on this page a selection of the most modern Hardy 
Climbing and Rambler Roses. 
American Pillar : Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
A single-flowering variety of great beauty. The flowers are of large 
size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, with a clear white 
eye and clusters of yellow stamens, and are borne in immense bunches 
and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. i 
Blaze (U.S. Plant Patent No. 10) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Hardy everblooming Climbing Rose which inherits the blazing color of 
Paul's Scarlet Climber and the everblooming habit of Gruss an Teplitz, 
thus combining the most attractive features of both its parents. It is a 
very vigorous climbing variety which will grow to considerable height. 
Cecil Brunner Each $2.00 
This is the climbing form of the “‘Sweetheart Rose.” Covered in season 
with hundreds of graceful little buds and flowers, exceptionally fine for 
covering small fences or trellises. Needs protection in the North but 
well worth the extra trouble. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
A Rose which, on account of its dainty color and exquisitely shaped 
buds and flowers, appeals to everyone. The long, pointed buds are of a 
rich flesh-pink on stems 12 to 18 inches long. Splendid for cutting. 
Easlea’s Golden Rambler (U. S. Plant Patent No. 114) 
E-ch $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
A new outstanding Climbing Rose from England, producing its com- 
paratively large double rich golden flowers in lcrge trusses. An addi- 
tional quality is a delicious fragrance. Gold Medal, Royal Horticultural 
Society, July, 1932. Awarded the Cory cup as the best new seedling 
climber or rambler Rose of British origin introduced in 1932. 
Flower cf Fairfield Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
Also called the “‘Everblooming Crimson Rambler’’. Combines the beauty 
of the well-known Crimson Rambler with the continuous-blooming habit, 
the new growth bearing large clusters of crimson blooms through the 
summer continuously. 
Mary Wallace Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
A Pillar Rose, making a fine, strong, self-supporting plant 6 to 8 feel 
high, with large, glossy foliage, blooming with great freedom in spring 
and bearing a large number of fine buds in summer and fall. Flowers 
very large, generally exceeding 4 inches across; well formed, semi- 
double, of a bright, clear rose-pink with salmon base. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin Each 90c, Doz. $9.09 
The plant is of strong climbing habit, growing 12 feet or more high and 
has large, disease-resistant foliage. At the tips, the long pointed buds 
are crimson at first as the petals divide, then the firm outer petals 
show splashes of carmine as the flower opens with an iridescent pearl- 
pink inside. Very fragrant. 
New Dawn (U. S. Plant Patent No. 1) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Everblooming Dr. W. Van Fleet.) Identical in every way with its parent 
in size and formation of its flowers, color, etc., but blooms continuously 
throughout the summer and fall. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
Flowers are semi-double, very freely produced in clusters of from 3 
to 20 flowers each on much branched canes. It is of strong climbing 
habit and perfectly hardy. One of the most popular of Climbing Roses. 
Silver Moon Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
Beautiful semi-double flowers, 414% inches and over in diameter, pure 
white in color; petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, forming a 
Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yellow stamens in the center 
adds to its attractiveness. 
TRAILING ROSES 
Max Graf Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
A splendid trailing, pillar, or climbing Rose with large single bright pink 
flowers having prettily crimped petal edges. Fine for planting on steep 
banks or for trailing over a stone wall. 
Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose) Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
Fragrant, single, pure white flowers with yellow stamens followed in the 
fall by bright red hips or berries. It has dense evergreen foliage. 
ROSA DAMASCENA 
The Damask Roses are very hardy and make robust growth, clothed 
with large, rough, light green leaves. Their flowers are very freely pro- 
duced and are generally borne in trusses of three or more. The fame 
of their powerful fragrance is second only to that of the Cabbage and 
the Moss Roses. 
York and Lancaster Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This historical Rose is said to have appeared in an English garden 
soon after the War of the Roses and the historical description said 
that “It has irregularly shaped flowers which may be pale red or 
pure white, or part red and part white. Flowers of these different 
colorings may, and often do, appear on the bush at the same time.” 
The blooms are richly fragrant with the true Damask scent.
