Climbing White Maman Cochet For many years the old White Maman Cochet has been considered one of the very best of all White Tea Roses, and this new climber has all the superfine qualities of that old standard Rose, with added value in its climbing habit. The foliage is strong and of a delightfully fresh green, is not subject to disease or insect attacks, and even when not in bloom the plant is of great charm, adding great beauty to the house. The exquisite white flowers, every one of which is a perfect specimen of the White Maman Cochet Rose, are borne in the greatest profusion, fairly covering the plant all summer, for it is one of the most constant bloomers of all the white climb- ing Roses. It is absolutely hardy, except in the extreme North, where it requires some slight pro- tection. It is a strong, vigorous grower, throwing up strong canes 15 to 20 feet long in a single sea- son. First size, strong plants, 20c each, 6 for 81.00; larger size, 30c each; two-year-old plants, very large, 50c each. AMERICAN PILLAR_A new Climber of extremely vigorous habit of growth, the bushes being clothed in lively green from earliest spring until late in the fall. The flowers are produced in profusion, fairly covering the bush, and their pretty pink color is a delight to the eye. In the fall, the flow- ers are followed by large clusters of attractive red berries, which are highly ornamental. Planted singly or in groups on the lawn, this Rose is sure to evoke favorable comment. Strong young plants, 20c each, 6 for SI.00; larger size, 35c each; two-year-old plants, 45c each. BALTIMORE BELLE_Paip blush variegated carmine-rose and white. Very double flowers in beautiful clusters. BIRDIE BLYE_Ruds long and pointed.

Your Roses are sure what you claim them to be. and then some. Yours very truly, ROY GIBSON. 73
