Mr. Kerman's Residence with Crimson Rambler. 



to another, "Oh look at them cocks- 

 combs cUmbing up trellises !" 



In order to give our readers a correct 

 idea of the rose, we have photographed 

 one single rose out of the many in a 



Fig. 1668.— Crimson Rambler Flower. 



PASSING Mr. Herbert Kerman's 

 one day in June we were so 

 i_i charmed with his Crimson 



Rambler roses that we stopped 

 for a view of it to show our readers. 



He has eight or ten others climbing 

 beautifully over arches in his garden, 

 and covered with wonderfully large and 

 fine trusses of pretty roses, but the one 

 climbing the verandah best illustrates 

 our present theme, and shows the ex- 

 cellent effect which may be had in two 

 or three years by its use. Figure 1669, 

 shows one of the many trusses of roses 

 which hang in such profusion from every 

 plant and attracted the attention of 

 every passer by« One lady passing in 

 the electric car, in her enthusiasm said 



cluster (Fig. 1668) We have said a good 

 deal in praise of this rose when promis- 

 ing it to our readers as a part of our 

 plant distribution, but really we have not 

 said^. enough in its praise, and we hope 

 all our readers may have as good satis- 

 faction with it as Mr. Kerman has had.
