THE NOVELTY 



OF THE SEASON 



"RAMONA" 



THE NEW RED 



CHEROKEE ROSE 



/-T-\HIS sensational and magnificent new climbing 

 I rose occurred as a sport from the well-known 

 ■^ Pink Cherokee (Rosa Sinica, var. Anemone). 

 It is a stronger and more rampant grower than its 

 parent, and produces during the spring and early 

 summer months flowers in such profusion as to entirely 

 cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop 

 of bloom. The flowers are much larger than either 

 the pibk or white forms, with brilliant golden-yellow 

 stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crim- 

 son color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and 

 effective; the foliage is absolutely mildew- proof, a 

 rich, glossy green, so bright that it appears as though 

 varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertise- 



ment in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms 

 and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty stronger 

 than mere words. 



The original sport occurred on the nurseries of 

 Messrs. Dieterich & Turner, at Montebello, California. 

 They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated 

 over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we 

 acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our 

 faith in its value, and its coming popularity is attested 

 by the fact that we have already booked orders for 

 many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are 

 safe in stating that "RAMONA" will have the largest 

 first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the 

 American trade. 



"RAMONA" 



will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, 

 Gulf and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For 

 planting on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; 

 in addition, it makes an elegant hedee plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a 

 relief from the stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color. 



We are offering plants of "Ramona" at the following prices, cash with order: 



In lots less tlian one hundred: From 2-incIi pots, 85 cents eacb. $3.50 per dozen; from 8-incli pots, 50 

 cents eaob, $5.00 per dozen; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 



In lots of one himdred to five hundred: From 2-inch pots, $20.00 per one hvuidred; from 8-inch pots,

Various Notes. 



The opening of the First National 

 Bank's new building, at Seventh and 

 Spring streets, was the occasion of a 

 great deal of stock being sold. There 

 were many grand designs, including a 

 $100 horseshoe by the Boserie. Morris 

 Goldenson supplied 1,000 bunches of 

 violets for one order, a pretty large one 

 for a retailer.
