¢ \UR collection of Hardy Climbers is probably the most 
5 extensive and inclusive m this country, covering all types

Disease-resistant, this modern type of Climber has the added 
advantage that many varieties produce flowers on Jong stems 
suitable for cutting. 
Pruning of Large-flowered Climbers: These varieties flower 
best on the older canes, so, contrary to the Rambler type, it is 
not advisable to cut out the canes which have flowered. Cut

DR. HUEY. 
spectacular Climber yielding an abundance of 
large, ruffled, maroon-red flowers both singly 
on long stems and in tremendous clusters. So 
far as we have observed, there Is no color in 
the whole Rose kingdom to match the deep, 
solid, velvety maroon which is so firm and 
pronounced that hot sun or rains do not mar 
its beauty. Dr. Huey does not fade to a bluish 
purple as so many very dark red Roses do. 
The color and habit are so distinct that it can 
always be positively identified. Then too, it 
is exceptionally hardy and easy-growing. 
Though scarce for many years, we have 
finally produced a good supply of a Rose that 
has been Mr. Bobbink’s favorite ever since he in- 
troduced it nearly thirty years ago. $1.25 each.
