Tea flowers all season. In the Middle Atlantic States and farther north, 
they frequently do not produce recurrent blooms after May or June 
and, furthermore, are not reliably hardy. Experienced gardeners in these 
colder states sometimes winter them successfully by untymg the canes from 
their supports, loosening the roots on one side, then laying the canes on 
surface of ground and covering with about 6 inches of soil. But now since

ment.

HARDY RAMBLER ROSES (Blooms in large clusters) 
While the larger-flowered Climbing Roses seem to be far more popular 
at present than the true Ramblers, we do not like to see them overlooked 
because, in our opinion, there is nothing finer than masses of charming 
clustered Ramblers. It was true that some of the Ramblers were sus- 
pi ae 
BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. (Capt. Thomas, 
1925.) A strong-growing many-caned Rambler 
to 20 feet or more. The plant ts covered in late 
May and early June with myriads of small 
single flowers of blackish crimson surrounding 
white eyes. $1.50 each. 
CHEVY CHASE. (N. J. Hansen, 1939.) Pat. 
443. Red. To those who desire color in masses 
there is nothing to compete with a Rambler 
Rose, and this history-making Rose is the 
finest of the great Rambler family. Bloom lasts 
for several weeks during May and June in this 
section, the rich crimson color changing slowly 
with age but never becoming objectionable. 
It is positively mildew-proof so the out-of-bloom 
appearance of so many Ramblers doesn’t 
bother Chevy Chase. $1.50 each. Supply 
limited until fall 1948. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. (1901.) Pink. Double 
pink flowers are borne in huge trusses. An ¢ 
cellent bank-cover. It is one of the loveliest of 
all Climbers when in full bloom, and worthy in 
spite of its mildew. $1.25 each. 
MINNEHAHA, (Walsh, 1905.) Pink. Bright 
pink rosette-like flowers borne in clusters on 
stems of average length. Foliage small, glossy, 
dark green and free from mildew. $1.50 each. 

CHEVY CHASE. $1.50 each 
ceptible to mildew, but that is not serious since we have eliminated them. 
Pruning of Ramblers: Cut out, in August or September, the canes 
which have flowered, and train up young canes produced from base. 
Prices as noted, see Rose Discounts, page 10 
GHISLAINE DE FELIGONDE. § (Turbat, 
1916.) One of the nicest of the restrained, 
growth Ramblers. It will make 8-to 10-foot- 
almost thornless canes which bear heavy crops 
of shapely rich yellow buds changing slowly to 
creamy white when fully open. Flowers are 
borne in large phlox-ltke clusters. $1.50 each. 
Supply exhausted until fall 1948. 
SANDERS WHITE. (Sanders, 1912.) Small, 
glistening white blooms of double rosette form, 
sweetly perfumed, borne in clusters on a strong, 
free-blooming plant which is both healthy and 
hardy. $1.50 each. Supply exhausted until 
fall 1948. 
SEVEN SISTERS. The late Mr. Bunyard, 
famous British Rosarian, sent us plants of the 
true variety just before he died. We succeeded 
In propagating a limited supply of this famous 
old Rose that all collectors cherish. Lilac-rose, 
soft pink, and nearly white flowers in clusters. 
$3.00 each. Sold out until fall 1948. 
THELMA. (Easlea, 1927.) Pink. Very striking 
Climber with clusters of large, delicate coral- 
pink flowers, borne in great abundance. No 
mildew. $1.50 each.
