LARGE-FLOWERED HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
PRICES AS NOTED. SEE ROSE DISCOUNTS ON PAGE 9 
Our collection of Hardy Climbers is probably the most extensive 
and inclusive in this country, covering all types and colors. They are 
by far the most popular today. Disease-resistant, this modern type 
of Climber has the added advantage that many varieties produce 
flowers on long stems suitable for cutting. No spraying or dusting 
required, 
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 back

BOBBINK’S WHITE CLIMBER. We are 
introducing this year what we believe will be

Martin Jacobus, and we hope it will prove 
satisfactory everywhere. It 1s a pure white, 
quite double, produced from June until frost 
when the healthy plants become established.

$5.40.

DREAM GIRL. Pat. 643. Pink. The com- 
paratively new Everblooming Hardy Climbing 
and Pillar Rose. The outside petals of the 
opening buds are very light apple blossom pink. 
It frequently takes several days for the full 
petalled buds to open and show the salmon- 
pink inside petals which are overlaid with a 
glorious sheen of fresh apricot. The color 
tones actually deepen until the blooms fully 
open in sunlight. One of the most appealing 
qualities of Dream Girl is the pleasing, spicy 
unforgettable fragrance; a few cut blooms will 
scent the whole room. Plants established for a 
year or more will produce a fine crop of flowers 
in early June followed by a succession of 
blooms throughout the summer ending with a 
glorious display in early fall. Please do not 
expect full-sized blooms of typical color the 
first year or season after planting (this holds 
true with practically all Climbing Roses). 
The plant ts absolutely disease-resistant, 
healthy, vigorous and actually resents being 
sprayed or dusted. Use it on trellises, arbors, 
posts and pillars, for covering fences, stone 
walls, tree stumps and everywhere Climbing 
Roses of moderate growth are so readily 
adaptable. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
ELEGANCE. LC. (Brownell, 1938.) Yellow. 
Flowers are spectrum-yellow in center, shading 
to a pale yellow on the outer petals, deepening 
in color as they open, carried on stiff stems 
1 to 3 feet Iong. Huge exhibition flowers, 
Hybrid Tea in form. MS. $1.75 each; 3 for 
$5.00.
