DELICATA— ‘CaptivaTinG!”’ 
Duc de Guiche. Gallica. (Geesh.) From the well-known old-rose au- 
thorities, Hilling Nurseries, England,—“' Flowers of extra good shape, comparable 
with Mme. Hardy. It is a sturdy plant, and a true Gallica. Intense carmine-crimson, 
heavily veined with violet-purple.’’ Attracts much attention from our garden visitors 
—now offered by us in fair quantity for the first time. 1.50 
Duke of Teck. H. Perpetual. (1880.) Another lusty Hybrid Perpetual 
makes its bow in the catalog,—big, globular blooms of light crimson-scarlet. 
All the sturdy, hardy, characteristics of the race. 1.50 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. Climber. (1910.) ARS 87%. Very vigorous, 15-20 
ft., with round-leafed, handsome dark-green foliage. Blooms are large, double, 
fragrant, of an unusual delicate cameo-pink, on good cutting stems. Profuse in 
spring and early summer. One of the most impressive newcomers to our list—a 
truly wonderful climbing rose, which we should have been growing long since. 
Field Notes, 1951,—"'The pale pink buds and shining foliage on this handsome 
climber and ground cover are just about perfection.”’ 1.50 
“When I see and touch some lovely thing that my grandparents owned or grew in theer 
gardens... that they were fond of, took care of and lived with, then I feel as if they and we 
who are here now, are not separated by the accident of our different eras of existence but ave 
near and, in a sense, contemporary in our common love of beauty and of life.’
