great loose clusters.

The Ramblers are very popular for vigor and hardiness 
and for their thousands of blooms 

arbor, the Climbing Roses produce a most wonderful covering of delicate foliage 
and delightful flowers. They are hardy and require little winter protection. 
TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS FOR THE HOME 
Rambler Roses 
Hiawatha. (R.). Very hardy and vigor- 
ous climber, bearing in large clusters 
small single flowers of dazzling red with 
white eye. Free bloomer. 
Paul’s Lemon Pillar. This is a pillar 
Rose of the same type as Climbing 
American Beauty; color lemon-white. 
Of grand size and form and early flow- 
ering. The individual bloom is consid- 
ered the finest of any Climbing Rose 
yet introduced. 
Paul’s Scarlet. (C.). A new hardy Rose of the most 
vivid bright red in any climbing Rose. In the sunlight 
it is a real scarlet. Blooms in clusters of half-double 
flowers. The blooms are conspicuous both for size and 
brilliance. With hardiness among its conspicuous good 
points, we recommend Paul’s Scarlet as the best Climb- 
ing Rose; should be in every garden. 
White Dorothy Perkins. A pure white sport from 
Dorothy Perkins with which it is identical in foliage 
and habit. 
Pink Rambler. (R.). Of typical Rambler growth, pink 
and blooming in clusters. 
White Rambler. (R.). Bears large clusters of pure 
white, double flowers. Good, strong growth. 
Yellow Rambler. (R.). Of Rambler habit as to growth 
and cluster-blooming but with double flowers of yel- 
low shading to creamy white as the blooms age. 
Silver Moon. (C.). The attractive semi-double flowers 
are 414 inches and over in diameter, pure white with 
a bunch of yellow stamens in the center, and beauti- 
fully cupped, having a somewhat clematis-like appear- 
ance. 

Climbing 
type 
Tausendschon. (R.). Literally, “Thousand Beauties.” 
Entirely different from all other Roses, since it is im- 
possible to say that it is of any single color. It is of 
many colors. In a single cluster of blooms there will 
be all shades from light pink to red; some individual 
blooms will be almost white, and now and then there 
is a suggestion of creamy yellow. The effect of one of 
these immense clusters is that of a perfectly arranged 
bouquet of varied, yet harmonious, colors. 
Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose). Creeping. Entirely 
hardy. A trailing Rose that hugs the ground closely, 
making it ideal for covering embankments especially, as it 
soon makes roots along the branches. Popular for cemetery 
planting. The flowers are pure white, single, with prominent 
yellow anthers in the center of the open bloom. The foliage 
is ample and rich green and the colored berries are attractive 
late in the fall and early winter.
