SEVERAL GOOD ROSES FOR OUR PROVINCE. 



The rose which most interested us at 

 the Fonthill Nurseries was a novelty 

 from Japan, the Crimson Rambler, a cut 

 of which has also been furnished us by 

 the same firm. Of course the indi- 

 vidual bloom was not large, nor strik- 

 ing, but its clusters are simply mar- 

 vellous. Even in the nursery rows the 

 young bushes were loaded heavily with 

 numerous clusters, while the vigor of 

 the shoots surpassed that of any other 

 variety. It is thus described : 



Fu;. 12oS>.— Crimson Rambler. (Reducetl.) 



Plant vigorous, shoots of one season's 



growth often eight or ten feet long, and 

 consequently suitable for a climber ; 

 pegged down and grown as a bush a 

 marvellous head of bloom is the result ; 

 hardy, at least in Southern Ontario. 



Bloofn in clusters of bright crimson 

 semi-double roses, which remain a long 

 time. The Executive of the Fruit Grow- 

 ers' Association have placed this in the 

 list of plants for distribution in 1898.
