Dream Gir 
The New Everblooming 
Hardy Climber, $2 each, net; 
no discount or quantity rate 
Introduced by Bobbink & Atkins in 
1944. Patent applied for. This variety 
fills a long-felt need for a real coral-pink, 
full-petaled hardy climbing Rose. An- 
other most appealing quality is its pleas- 
ant spicy and penetrating fragrance. 
When it is used as a cut-flower in the 
house, the perfume is even more noticeable 
and lasting than outdoors, and the true 
coral-pink, apricot and salmon colors be- 
come more beautiful and intense until the 
last petal unfurls. The blooms last for 
days after cutting. Beginning in June 
when older climbers like Mary Wallace, 
Dr. Van Fleet, and others in this class 
begin to flower, Dream Girl produces suc- 
cessive crops of bloom throughout the 
summer, ending with a gorgeous display in 
late fall. 
Dream Girl was originated by that 
venerable hybridizer, Martin R. Jacobus, 
of Ridgefield, New Jersey, and is the 
crowning achievement of more than forty 
years of intensive hybridizing and _ re- 
search. The name was suggested by the 
late R. Marion Hatton, for years secre- 
tary of the American Rose Society, and 
an able judge of Roses. Among the many 
critics who have examined this variety, no 
less an authority than Richardson Wright, 
editor of House § Garden, was so im- 
pressed that the magazine published a 
colored illustration of it in a recent issue.

DREAM GIRL. The New Everblooming Hardy Climber. This is the original plant 
established four years, growing to a height of 8 or 9 feet and perfectly hardy after trying 
winters in Northern New Jersey. Hundreds cf the lovely blooms as illustrated are 
produced from June to October. 
Har dy Rambler Ros €S (Blooms in large clusters) 
While the larger-flowered Climbmg Roses seem to be far more popular Pruning of Ramblers: Cut out, in August or September, the canes 
at present than the true Ramblers, we do not like to see them overlooked which have flowered, and train up young canes produced from base. 
because, in our opinion, there is nothing finer than masses of charming The letters at the end of descriptions represent the blooming period 
clustered Ramblers. It ts true that some of the Ramblers were susceptible in the vicinity of New York City: E., from May 25 to June 3; MS., from 
to mildew, but that is not serious stnce we have eliminated many. June 4 to 12; and L., after June 12. 
BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. R. A strong- 
growing, many-caned Rambler to 20 feet or 
more. The plant ts 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 mto winter, a 
truly beautiful picture after the foliage has 
fallen. $1 each. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. R. Pink. Double pmk 
flowers are borne in huge trusses. An excellent

growing Climbers with excellent glossy foliage.

with clusters of large, delicate coral-pimk 
flowers, borne in great abundance. Unusually 
beautiful Rose; one of the fmest of Ramblers. 
No mildew. MS. $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-makmg Rose 
is the finest of the great Rambler family. 
Bloom Jasts for several weeks during 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 is a pleasing 
mild fragrance. The numerous canes will 
cover a large area, making it ideal for fences, 
walls or buildings. It is positively mildew- 
proof so the out-of-bloom appearance of so 
many Ramblers doesn’t bother Chevy Chase. 
The progeny of Rosa Soulieana, a climbing 
species Rose from China, and the Iittle red 
Polyantha Eblouissant, Chevy Chase furnishes 
enormous loose panicles on a very good look- 
ing plant. $1.50 each.
