2 New Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 
Climbing Show Girl 
Here is something really new. We are glad 
that we are able to offer a climbing sport of 
that splendid deep pink rose which will fur- 
nish amazing quantities of the longest. most 
perfectly formed, deep-pink rose buds that 
vou’ve ever seen. ‘The plant is a vigorous 
erower and will produce enough  long- 
stemmed flowers so that you can literally cut 
a bouquet nearly every day in the spring 
from this new pink climber. Just as the bush 
variety, described on page 13, is a vigorous 
erower with good luxuriant foliage, so this 
new chmber will be one of the most. vigorous 
and free-blooming climbers in your garden. 
Show Girl is one of the fine roses originated 
in the Research Department of the Arm- 
strong Nurseries. It is the rose chosen as 
“Queen’s Rose” for the 61st Annual Rose 
Show in Portland, Oregon. Plant Pat. applied 
for. $2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.70 each. 
Climbing Talisman 
It is difficult to imagine anything more strik- 
ing than a fence or trellis with the marvelous 
buds and lovely red and gold flowers of Talis- 
man. On a four-year-old plant we counted 
311 perfect. long-stemmed buds and flowers 
at one time. How is that for a marvelous 
garden show? 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Marechal Niel 
[his superb old ltemon-yellow Noisette. with 
its large, globular, delightfully scented 
blooms, is still very popular throughout the 
South and in California. It was introduced 
in France way back in 1864. 
$2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.70 each.

Mermaid 
Grow it as a climber, as a pillar rose, or as 
a big rambling bush. It makes a great mass 
of glossy foliage the year around. Through- 
out the season it produces quantities of big, 
5 to G6-inch, single flowers, pale sulphury- 
yellow with a gold center. 
$2.00 each; 3 or more, $1.70 each. 
Paul’s Scarlet 
The flowers are intense vivid scarlet, semi- 
double, and are very freely produced in clus- 
ters of from 3 to 20 blooms on long, much- 
branched canes, the plant being a mass of 
flaming color from top to bottom. The flow- 
ers do not fade but maintain their brilliant 
color until the last petal drops. For a bril- 
liant mass of spring color this one is hard to 
beat. Hardy even in sub-zero climates. 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Sungold 
Many lovely, long, slender, golden yellow 
buds with a hint of lemon, opening to full 
double flowers which hold shape and color 
well under all conditions. Hardy on the East 
Coast. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Choose for Size, Too 
If you want a climber to cover tremendous 
spaces plant Belle of Portugal. Most of the 
climbing Hybrid Teas listed on these pages 
will also get quite large if given some en- 
couragement. Varieties which grow more 
compactly and which are ideal for covering 
a small trellis or pergola include Captain 
Thomas, High Noon and Mermaid.

Climbing Peace 
You can now have a huge climbing plant liter- 
ally covered with hundreds of spectacular flow- 
ers of Peace. Within the comparatively short 
time since its introduction in America, Peace 
has become a top favorite and a consistent win- 
ner of first place in rose shows throughout the 
country. Its chief beauty is in the great range 
of colors through which it passes. The full 
ovoid bud is deep yellow, with the edges of the 
petals picoteed cerise. It slowly opens to a 
glorious 5-inch bloom with shades of canary- 
yellow, pale gold, cream, pearly white, and 
apple blossom. ‘This new climbing sport has 
the same fine foliage and strong stems so popu- 
lar in the bush. You will get the same huge 
perfectly formed flowers with the same lasting 
qualities, but a great many more of them. 
Plant Pat. applied for. 
$2.50 each; 3 or more, $2.10 each.
