Paul’s Scarlet 
Climbing Roses 
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 flow- 
ering, is beneficial. Cutting away at that time some but not all old 
flowering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, which will give an 
abundance of flowers the following season. 
Dream Girl, Inspiration and Prosperity are all three Perpetual Flowering 
varieties, blooming all summer and fall. 
Blaze Each $1.50, Three $3.90, Doz. $15.69 
Hardy everblooming climbing Rose which inherits the blazing color of 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber and the everblooming habit of Gruss a Tepitz, 
thus combining the most attractive features of both its parents. It is a 
very vigorous climbing variety, which will grow to considerable height. 
Dream Girl (Plant Patent No. 643) 
Each $2.25, Three $6.00, Doz. $24.00 
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. 
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 the 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 textured petals. Three or four perfect blooms to each long, strong 
stem. Their fragrance is rich, lovely and enduring.

nice foliage and unlike most hardy climbers, it will produce flowers on

it has proven to be the best and hardiest of the yellow climbing Roses. 
Inspiration Each $2.25, Three $6.00, Doz. $24.00 
Inspiration is an appropriate companion Rose for the new Dream 
Girl, with similar growth habit. It is not too rampant or tall growing 
and so has many uses on trellises, arbors, and pillars of medium size 
and habit. Successive crops follow from June on through October and 
show the same sparkling tones as found in that fine old Hybrid Tea, 
Pink Radiance, and the once-blooming Mary Wallace Climber. It is very
