68 HENRY F. MICHELL CO., 516 AND 518 MARKET ST., 
Hardy Climbing and Rambler 
Oses 
As ornamental plants for covering veran- 
das, porches, side walls, pillars, fences, etc., 
these are unequaled, calling forth more ad- 
miration than anything else that can be used. 
he Iarge-flowered varieties require no prun- 
ing beyond the removal of very old and worn- 
out canes, and the thinning out of weak 
growth. Canes becoming too Jong may be 
shortened. 
The Ramblers, or small-flowered cluster 
type, should have the old canes removed at 
the base as soon as they finish blooming, 
ering, the new canes into place for next 
year’s bloom. 
Dormant plants, except where noted, each 
$2.00, delivery free. 
Ciimbing American Beauty. The name of

growth, and richly clothed from the ground 
up with dark green, leathery foliage—a 
beautiful foil for the large, slightly fra- 
grant, yellow blooms.

blooming. Each $2.25,

very white, semi-double blooms, with a 
foil of dark leathery foliage.
