Large-Flowered Hardy Qimbing Roses 
PRICES AS NOTED. SEE ROSE DISCOUNTS ON PAGE 8 
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 
the side shoots which have flowered, remove old worn-out canes, and 
train up only enough young canes to cover the required area. 
PLANTING DISTANCE: Trellis or wall—6 feet. Pillars—as close 
as 3 feet, depending on the design. 
The letters at the end of descriptions represent the blooming 
period in the vicinity of New York City: E., from May 25 to June 3; 
MS., from June 4 to 12; and L., after June 12.

DREAM GIRL. (M. R. Jacobus.) Pat. 643. 
BOBBINK WHITE CLIMBER 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00 
AMERICAN PILLAR. LC. (Van Fleet, 1902.) 
A rampant grower with glossy foliage; huge 
trusses of 2-inch, single flowers of scarlet-rose 
with large white centers. MS. $1.50 each; 3 
for $4.00. 
BOBBINK WHITE CLIMBER. LC. (M. R. 
Jacobus, 1951.) Pat. pending. This new ever- 
blooming “white” Climber has been tested for 
hardiness and reblooming habits for several 
years and proved satisfactory. We have found 
the autumn bloom especially fme; the opening 
buds and petals show creamy to faint lemon- 
yellow though when the blooms are fully open 
they finish white. 
Like most hardy Climbers, plants do not pro- 
duce their typical blooms the first year and 
therefore one should be patient. In the years 
to come, we believe you will fimd this new 
Climber a valuable addition to those Bobbink 
& Atkins have already introduced within, 
very recent years. It may be used or trained 
BLAZE. LC. (Kallay, 1932.) Vivid scarlet 
flowers identical in color and form with Paul’s 
Scarlet. Remontant under certain conditions. 
The strain we now grow reblooms later in 
summer and fall provided you simply pluck 
or pinch out the June blooms but allow the 
rest of the stems or laterals to remain on the 
canes. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
CARPET OF GOLD. LC. (The Brownells, 
1939.) Pat. 541. Yellow. A creeping or trail- 
ing plant and covering itself with brilliant 
yellow, double, fragrant flowers 2 to 3 inches 
across. Also good trained as a climber. $2.00 
each; 3 for $5.40. 
COUNTESS OF STRADBROKE. CHT. 
(Clark, 1928.) Very large, double, well shaped, 
intensely fragrant, dark glowing crimson. 
Free, recurrent bloom. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
DR. HUEY. LC. (Thomas, 1914.) Red. A 
spectacular Climber yielding an abundance of 
large, ruffled, maroon-red flowers both singly 
on long stems and in tremendous clusters. 
There is no color in the Rose kingdom to 
match this deep, solid, velvety maroon. MS. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET. LC. (Van Fleet, 1910.) 
Pink. Abundant Jong-stemmed, beautifully 
formed flowers of a soft pale shade of flesh-pink, 
the equal of a fine Hybrid Tea. Same growth 
habit and color as New Dawn, which is “‘ever- 
blooming” and taking the place of Dr. Van 
Fleet. MS. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
Pink. The comparatively 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-petaled buds to open and show 
the salmon-pink inside petals, which are over- 
laid with a glorious sheen of fresh apricot. The 
color tones actually deepen until the blooms 
fully open in sunlight. One of the most ap- 
pealing 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 resents being sprayed or dusted, 
unless you may be concerned about temporary 
aphis attacks which are not usually serious. 
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. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
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 long. Huge exhibition flowers, 
Hybrid Tea in form. MS. $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.40. 
GOLDEN CLIMBER (MRS. AR- 
1 THUR CURTISS JAMES). LC. 
(The Brownells, 1933.) Yellow. A 
strong climbing plant which does not 
bloom until it is thoroughly estab- 
lished for two or more years, when it 
produces many perfectly formed, 
: golden yellow flowers of Hybrid Tea 
quality and fragrance, on 11% to 2-foot 
stems. MS. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
/ GOLDEN GLOW. LC. (The Brown- 
ells;y 1937.)° 9 Pat. 92635 Dhemenune

ers are 3144 to 5 imches in diameter, 
emitting a tea fragrance. Perfectly 
hardy. We consider it about the best 
all-round yellow Climber. MS. $2.00 
each; 3 for $5.40. 
DREAM GIRL. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00 
any way you see fit and even makes an excel- 
lent trailing or “covering”? Rose because of its ~~ 
beautiful, healthy, Iustrous green foliage. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. Supply limited. 
Blooms from the new rose-red 
everblooming climber, TEMP- 
TATION, that were cut and 
photographed in September 
showing its strong reblooming 
characteristics. 
CLIMBING ROSES. Think of their many uses 
and the hundreds of gorgeous blooms produced 
for garden effect and cutting for the home.
