Large-Plowered Hardy Climbing Koes 
Our collection of Hardy Climbers is probably the most extensive in this country covering 
all types and colors; many are Everblooming and are gaining popularity year after year. 
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

DREAM GIRL. LC. (M. R. Jacobus.) Pat. 
643. Pink. The comparatively new Ever- 
blooming Hardy Climbing and Pillar Rose. 
The outside petals of the opening buds are 
very light apple-blossom-pink. It takes several 
days for the buds to open and show the salmon- 
pink mmside petals. The color tones actually 
deepen until the blooms fully open in sunlight. 
Pleasing spicy unforgettable fragrance. 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. 
Please do not expect full-sized blooms of typi- 
cal color the first year or season after planting 
(this holds true with practically all Climbing 
Roses.) 
Use it on trellises, arbors, posts and pillars, 
for covering fences, stone walls, tree stumps, 
banks and everywhere Climbing Roses of 
moderate and pliable growth are so readily 
adaptable. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.
