Climbing Poses 
(For large-flowered Horvath Climbers see page 123.) 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond cutting out of 
very old or dead wood, and the shortening of the laterals and long canes 
to make the growth conform to the space to be covered; but a severe 
pruning in July, directly after they have finished flowering, is beneficial. 
Cutting away at that time all old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous 
growth, which will give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
We offer on this page a selection of the most modern Hardy Climbing 
and Rambler Roses, 
Blaze Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Hardy everblooming climbing Rose which inherits the blazing color of 
Paul's Scarlet Climber and the everblooming habit of Gruss an Teplitz, 
thus combining the most attractive features of both its parents. It is a 
very vigorous climbing variety, which will grow to considerdble height. 
Cecile Brunner Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the climbing form of the “Sweetheart Rose.’ Covered in season 
with hundreds of graceful little buds and flowers, exceptionally fine for 
covering small fences or trellises. Needs protection in the North but 
well worth the extra trouble. 
Climbing Peace (Plant Paient No. 932) 
Each $2.25, Three $6.00, Doz. $24.00 
Blooms identical with those of bush Peace Rose come on long, fast- 
growing, plant canes. Hardy here last winter, but it was a mild winter. 
For the North, we advise you to give it winter protection. 
Dr. J. H. Nicolas (Plant Patent No. 457) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
Gardeners are delighted with the wealth of fragrant blooms, the size of 
the large, double flowers so like the finest Hybrid Tea Roses and most 
of all with the everblooming performance of this Rose. Immediately 
after first flowers fade, new shoots appear. A galaxy of bloom repeats 
again and again, all summer and fall. Fully double, entrancing deep 
rose-pink flowers, unbelievably large, 5 to 6 inches across, 50 fine tex- 
tured petals. Three or four perfect blooms to each long, strong stem. 
Their fragrance is rich, lovely and enduring. 
Dream Girl (Plant Patent No. 643) 
Each $2.50, Three $6.60, Doz. $26.40 
The new everblooming Hardy Climber and Pillar Rose. This variety 
fills a long-felt need for a real coral-pink, full-petaled, hardy climb- 
ing Rose. Another most appealing quality is its pleasant spicy and 
penetrating fragrance. The blooms last for days after cutting. Be- 
ginning in June when older climbers like Mary Wallace, Dr. W. Van 
Fleet and others in this class finish blooming, Dream Girl produces 
successive crops of flowers throughout the summer, ending with a 
gorgeous display in late fall. It has a neat, compact habit which 
allows for easy training on a 6- to 8-foot trellis or arbor; also does 
well when trained as a “‘pillar’’ Rose. 
Easlea’s Golden Rambler (U. S. Plant Patent No. 114) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A new outstanding climbing Rose from England, producing its com- 
paratively large, double, rich golden flowers in large trusses. An addi- 
tional quality is a delicious fragrance. Gold Medal Royal Horticultural 
climber or rambler Rose of British origin introduced in 1932. 
Gold Rush Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
A vigorous climber, producing masses of handsome yellow flowers; has 
nice foliage and unlike most hardy climbers, it will produce flowers on 
its new growth for the season. We predict a great future for ites 
King Midas (Plant Patent No. 586) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
Long canes 8 to 10 feet, will bring a blaze of golden glory to pillar, 
porch, pergola, trellis, fence or brighten a corner of the yard, house or 
garage. Blooms are large, 4 to 5 inches, in clusters on medium long 
stems, opening from a deep gold to a clear, unfading yellow. This vari- 
ety is very prolific and continues blooming after other Climbers have 
ended. It is fast growing and establishes itself quickly and throws out 
long, stout, blooming wood from basal shoots. 
Mary Wallace Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A pillar Rose, making a fine, strong, self-supporting plant 6 to 8 feet 
high, with large, glossy foliage, blooming with great freedom in spring 
and bearing a large number of fine buds in summer and fall. Flowers 
very large, generally exceeding 4 inches across, well formed, semi- 
double, of a bright, clear rose-pink with salmon base. 
Mermaid Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
Beautiful single flowers of great size, pure ivory-white, with cream 
and lemon center and an immense cluster of stamens. Blooms stead- 
ily throughout the season, producing clusters of buds on the tips of 
the new growth. Foliage glistening, almost evergreen. Needs winter 
protection in the North. Do not prune this Rose—let it grow. It is 
best as a rambling shrub. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin (Spanish Beauty) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
The plant is of strong climbing habit, growing 12 feet or more high and 
has large, disease-resistant foliage. At the tips, the long, pointed buds 
are crimson at first as the petals divide, then the firm outer petals 
show splashes of carmine as the flower opens with an iridescent pearl- 
pink inside. Very fragrant. 
New Dawn Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
(Everblooming Dr. W. Van Fleet.) Identical in every way with its parent 
in size and formation of its flowers, and lovely soft pink color, but 
blooms continuously throughout the summer and fall. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is one of the favorites. The flowers are scarlet-red, semi-double 
and freely produced in clusters of from three to ten flowers each on 
much-branched canes. It is a strong grower and very hardy; canes are 
flexible and easily tied to a fence, pergola or post. We grow our “Paul's 
Scarlet Climbers’” on their own root. This process of growing, of course, 
absolutely prevents any ‘’wild shoots” trouble. The plants we offer are 
husky and will quickly and readily develop into beautiful specimens, 
producing brilliant masses of bloom. 
Silver Moon Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Beautiful semi-double flowers, 414 inches and over in diameter, pure 
white in color; petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, forming a 
Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yellow stamens in the center 
adds to its attractiveness.
