Climbing Roses enhance any garden. 
Three Perfect Climbing Roses 
Large-flowered Climbers, unlike the old Rambler roses, produce their 
flowers on the old wood so only very heavy canes should be pruned out. 
The foliage is resistant to mildew; the blooms are large and produced in 
clusters on long many-branched stems. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. Large, double carmine-rose sweet 
scented flowers. A climbing form of an old favorite. 95c¢ each. 
DOUBLOONS. (Patent No. 152)—Flowers large, double, cupped, of a 
golden yellow. Vigorous growth; rich glossy foliage; very hardy. The 
best yellow climber often giving a second bloom six weeks after the 
first. $1.50 each. 
PAUL’S SCARLET. Brilliant scarlet semi-double blooms produced in 
large many-branched clusters. Easily grown and the showiest of all 
climbers. 95c each. 
Outstanding Blorilunda Reses 
Floribunda is the name given to a new class of roses developed from the 
old Polyantha class. They make a compact shrubby growth, bloom over 
most of the growing season and produce single to double flowers in large 
clusters. They are vigorous, easy to grow and may be used in mass plant- 
ings, among evergreens and shrubs in foundation plantings or in beds and 
borders. They hold up very well as cut flowers. 
BETTY PRIOR. (Patent No. 340)—Large clusters of bright red buds 
open to single shell-pink blooms; a two-tone effect similar to pink 
dogwood. Showy in mass plantings or as cut-flowers. $1.00 each. 
DONALD PRIOR. (Patent No. 377)—Brilliant scarlet, semi-double 
flowers; a perfect foil for Betty Prior. Sturdy vigorous plants are never 
without bloom. $1.00 each. 
WORLD’S FAIR. (Patent No. 362)—Large double scarlet flowers over- 
laid with a rich sheen and deepening to dark maroon in cool weather; 
showy golden stamens. $1.00 each.
