The Tw^o I 



Crusader 



We ever have offered 



CRUSADER. (Montgomery.) A big. 

 strong-growing variety, robust and rugged 

 in every characteristic. The growth is heavy 

 and the flower stems are strong and heavy^ 

 producing very little blind wood. It is free 

 growing and free flowering, and the blooms 

 are truly characteristic of the variety — big 

 and double, and, in color, a rich, velvety 

 crimson. These large, heavily petaled 

 blooms open perfectly and are amply sup* 

 ported by the strong-necked, heavy flower 

 growths. Crusader takes water well and 

 will keep under almost any conditions. The 

 plant is free from canker and does not show 

 any tendency to die at the union of scioti and 

 stock. It breaks freely from the hard wood 

 and is a strong-growing, free-flowering red 

 Rose. 



If you Mrant a real ^vinner you 

 should buy Crusader NOW.
