SHOT SILK CLIMBING. Cli.H.T. 10-15 feet. 
_ Aclimbing sport of the bush variety (which we have discontinued.) A high- 
| centered, double, fragrant rose of unique and beautiful color,—’’Cherry- 
cerise, shot with gold” on strong stems. 
Yielding to the Frank Lester enthusiasm some years ago I planted a Shot 
Silk climber in my garden, at Redlands, California, where those 100 de- 
gree summer temperatures are not too kind to roses—Nothing in that gar- 
| den of 225 varieties was more generous of bloom or more exquisitely 
beautiful. (The catalog-writer pauses to shed a nostalgic tear for those 
amateur days when he “did amazing and astounding things to roses, still 
expecting them to flourish.”) 
“In my garden grown as a pillar, Climbing Shot Silk’s first blooming produced 
60 flowers, second blooming July Ist, 41 and still buds coming! The most out- 
| standing climbing H. T. I’ve ever grown; has taken 3 degrees above zero without 
losing a twig.” Richard Thomson, Wynnewocd, Pennsylvania

SATURNIA. Patent 349. ARS 81%. 3 feet. 
A highly rated, semi-double, gold medal winner whose brilliant scarlet 
and gold coloring and petallage is magnificent in the coastal or cooler 
districts but not for the desert summer sun. 
“The first rose to thrill me this season was Saturnia,—it bloomed in different 
colors, each combination appropriate to the season until its autumn depth and color 
| blended with the fall foliage.’ Mrs. H. M. Alexander, Fayetteville, Arkansas.

BOORCHER. Climbing H. Tea. (1922.) 10-12 feet. 
_ Our Garden Notes, over the years on this beautiful Allister Clark, Austral- 
ian climber, are an annual eulogy, for its rare and indescribable shade of 
red, plus the graceful form of the large semi-double flower, place it with our 
very best. Has all that anyone could ask in a climber—vigor, profuse and 
repeating bloom, and an outshining beauty. wes 
Beer enDo CROSS. Cli. H. T. 10 - 15 feet. 
Rose author and hybridist, Roy Shepherd, Medina, Ohio is the creator of 
| this excellent red climber which made an immediate hit with us. The 
| 3 inch semi-double flowers come abundantly the entire season. If it can 
take the Medina, Ohio winters should be hardy anywhere .. . certainly 
likes the ‘famous California climate’’ even if Roy doesn't. Le 
SIERRA GLOW. Patent 521. ARS 77%. Medium. 
| Cross of Crimson Glory and Soeur Therese,—a large bi-color in pink 
| pastel shadings, too illusive for the vocabulary of the catalog-writer. To 
Jacob Lowrey of Georgia,—"it is the most beautiful modern hybrid tea produced 
by an American hybridizer.”’ Old-rose fragrance. 
Again we remind you these lovely pastel colors are not at their best 
| without some protection against a burning sun. 3 for 4.50. each 1/5 
CLIMBING SNOWBIRD. Cli.H. T. 10-15 feet. 
| The very popular bush Snowbird, decided to “fly’’. Retains the fine bud 
_ form, fragrance and pure whiteness of the original,—the over-lapping 
petals of the open flower are responsible for its charming title.
