MARY WALLACE CLIMBER 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. This is the beauty of all 
of the red climbers. The flowers are large and well 
shaped. They are vivid-scarlet red and throughout the 
long blooming season they fade but little. 
PRIMROSE. A _ new yellow climber unfading light prim- 
rose-yellow. The flowers appear in small clusters and 
are long lasting. 

Roses thrive best in a medium light clay soil. 
Before planting prepare the soil by spading 
thoroughly and working over to a depth of about 
18 inches, fill in well rotted stable manure while 
spading and work it carefully into the soil. After 
the plants are set, for best results cut all branch- 
es back to within 3 to 4 inches of the top of the 
ground. The new growth coming out will make 
a much nicer head than if the plant were not 
pruned, and the bushes will bloom better.
