Hybrid Perpetual Roses— Standard Varieties—Concluded 
CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER (Froebel, 1900.)— This Rose 
has Rugosa blood in its make-up and is classed by some as 
a Hybrid Rugosa; it’s the best Hybrid Perpetual you have 
ever known. This is a grand Rose, a vigorous grower, and 
free bloomer; flowers large, perfectly double, cup-shaped. 
Color deep, bright vivid, intense pink, with the penetrating 
fragrance of the old June Roses. We have grown this Rose 
for four years, in sections of the country from Canada to 
the Gulf, and we have no hesitancy in saying after the 
most thorough and rigid test that a Rose can be put to that 
this Rose is in every respect just what we claim for it. That 
is, the very best all around Rose ever introduced by any- 
one, and to this we make not a single exception. It grows 
vigorously, it blooms freely, is absolutely hardy, flowers of 
the largest size; the form is perfect, the coloring unequaled 
and the fragrance delicious. Can you ask more?

cately tinted blush on first opening.

milion; extra large and full; a distinct and splendid variety.

FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI (WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY) 
(Lambert, 1900.)— This grand white Rose has become re- 
nowned as the very highest type of its class and the best 
snow-white Rose ever'introduced. It is an extraordinarily 
strong grower, and has the vigor and hardiness of an oak. 
Its magnificent flowers are nothing less than glorious—im- 
mense in size and produced with great freedom. The color 
is a marvelous white, without a tinge of yellow or any other 
shade. A true paper-white, the standard by which all white 
Roses are judged. We grow “Frau Karl Druschki" literally 
by the hundreds of thousands.

Should be 
Including the Ramblers, CI., Polyanthas, Wichuraiana, Multifloras, 
Hybrid Noisettes, Setigera and Climbing Chinas 
These Roses are suitable for planting where they can climb on walls, 
: This list includes the Ramblers, Climbing Polyanthas, Wichuraianas, 
fact, wherever a hardy climber is required. 
AMERICAN PILLAR (Conard, 1909.) (С. P.)—A single flow- 
ering variety of great beauty, which appeals to everyone. 
The flowers are of enormous size, three to four inches 
across, of a lovely shade of apple-blossom pink, with a clear 
white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. These flowers are 
borne in immense bunches, and a large plant in full bloom 
is a sight not easily forgotten. They last in perfection a 
long time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or berries, 
which are carried late into the winter; and as the plant 
frequently retains its lovely green foliage until the end of 
November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject throughout 
the autumn months. A great Rose to grow in pots for Easter. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY (Hoopes Bros. & Thomas, 
1911.) .(H. N.)—A seedling from American Beauty with 
Wichuraiana and Tea blood in its veins. The introducers 
say of it: “Same color, size and fragrance as American 
Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit. Good fo- 
liage, and better blooming qualities. One plant of this new 
Rose will produce twenty times as many flowers in June as 
the old American Beauty, besides blooming occasionally dur- 
ing the summer. Blooms three to four inches across; has 
proved perfectly hardy and stands heat and drought as well 
as any Rose in our collection." This Rose has already made 
its mark, and wherever it has been planted it has pleased 
fences, galleries, porches, pillars, pergolas, arches, еїс.; in 
etc. 
until today we sell it by the tens of thousands. You lose if 
you are slow to take hold of “Climbing American Beauty.” 
It grows and blooms. We grew and sold last season upwards 
of fifty thousand of this Rose. Our output this year will go 
over a hundred thousand. Going some for a new Rose. 
CHRISTINE WRIGHT (Hoopes Bros. & Thomas, 1913.) | (W.) 
A most exquisite new Rose, a cross between Caroline Testout 
and an unnamed seedling; it is of strong climbing habit, 
with large, heavy, dark green foliage, which is immune to 
disease. ‘The flowers are double, from three and one-half to - 
four inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, of per- 
fect form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded 
flower; in color a most refreshing bright wild-rose pink; it 
flowers profusely during June, and continues more or less 
throughout the season. 
CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or MISS G. MESSMAN (Mess- 
man, 1911.) (C. P.)— This is a true ever-blooming Crim- 
son Rambler, for at this writing (August 181) it is in full 
bloom in the garden with enormous heads of richest crim- 
son. There has been a widespread demand for a Crimson 
Rambler that would bloom more than once. Here you have 
it. Everyone knows how Baby Rambler is always in bloom. 
This is simply a climbing form of the Baby Rambler, em- 
bracing all its good qualities.
