Climbing “Roses 
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 bene- 
ficial. Cutting away at that time all old flowering wood will en- 
courage 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 Climb- 
ing and Rambler Roses. 
American Pillar Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 e 
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 targe plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 
Blaze (U. S. Plant Patent No. 10) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Hardy Climbing Rose which inherits the blazing color of Paul’s Scarlet 
Climber and vigorous habit of Gruss an Teplitz, thus combining the 
features of both its parents. It is a very vigorous climbing variety which 
will grow to considerable neight. Under favorable conditions it will 
produce a number of flowers in the autumn. 
Cecil Brunner Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This is the climbing form of the “Sweetheart Rose.’’ Covered in season 
with hundreds of graceful little buds and flowers, exceptionally fine for 
covering smali fences or trellises. Needs protection in the North but 
well worth the extra trouble. 
Doubloons (U.S. Plant Patent No. 152) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A vigorous climber with heavy wood and handsome, glossy foliage. 
When in bloom the whole plant is literally. covered with clusters of large, 
golden blooms. Buds ovoid, deep saffron-yellow, flower large, double, 
cupped; rich gold, fading but little; fragrant. Gives two liberal crops 
six weeks apart if the first spring blooms have not been cut. We con- 
sider this the best hardy yellow climber. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
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.

Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00

paratively large double rich golden flowers in large trusses. An addi- 
tional quality is a delicious fragrance. Gold Medal, Royal Horticultural

A fine pink Climber. The flowers are a lively pink and of Hybrid Tea 
Rose size. In fact they closely resemble H. T. Rose Marie. Throughout

pink inside. Very fragrant. 
New Dawn (U. S. Plant Patent No. 1) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00

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.
