SELECTED ROSES _ 
Please Read Carefully Before Ordering 
Our roses are grown in the North and are, therefore, better adapted to northern con- 
ditions than those grown in the South. Production of roses requires skilled laborers. 
These are not available in sufficient numbers to produce nearly enough plants to meet 
the increasing demand so roses will, again this year, be in short supply. In order to 
avoid disappointment we urge you to place your order early. We will book orders 
time.

with broad necks to support the large flowers. Very disease resistant.

open flowers are silvery pink with satin texture. Very fragrant. 
Two Perfect Climbing Roses 
Large-flowered Climbers, unlike the old Ram-

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. 
PRICE: Either of the Climbers $1.25 each; 3 of 
either variety, $3.50. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. Large, 
double carmine-rose sweet scented flowers. A 
climbing form of an old favorite. 
PAUL’S SCARLET. Brilliant scarlet semi- 
double blooms produced in large many- 
branched clusters. Easily grown and _ the 
showiest of all climbers.
