New Yellow Rambler, Aglaia.— Rosarians have been for 

 many years crossing or hybridizing various Roses with a view to 

 obtaining a hardy yellow climbing Kose, but the combination 

 of climbing habit and yellow coloring with hardiness was one 

 that it seemed impossible to obtain, and was almost despaired 

 of. The Yellow Rambler has been found to successfully with- 

 stand, without protection, a continued temperature of from zero 

 to two degrees below, which proves it to be far hardier than 

 any other yellow climbing Rose yet introduced, and 1 believe 

 that by laying the plants down in the Winter it can be success- 

 fully grown in nearly all the northern partsof the United States; 

 in fact, anywhere that other Roses succeed at all well. Did I 

 say nothing more about the Rose, I think that this would be 

 sufficient to establish its value, for what lover of Roses in the 

 North has not bewailed the severity of climate which nearly de- 

 prives his garden of the most attractive color of all — yellow. 

 The flowers are borne in immense clusters, after the same man- 

 ner as the Crimson Rambler, often as many as one hundred and 

 fifty blossoms in a bunch, and the trusses have the same hand- 

 some pyramidal shape as those of Crimson Rambler. The color 

 is a decided yellow. 10 cents each; large two-year-old 

 plants, 40 cents each. 



CAUTION.— T/itre are other so-called Yellow Ramblers that do 

 not possess any features that would entitle the?tz to be coupled with 

 the Rambler fatuity, lacking hardiness, vigor of growth, and the 

 habit of blooming in trusses like Crimson Rambler; therefore, do 

 not accept any unless it is Lambert's Yellow Rambler. Do 

 not miss getting this beautiful new Rose. It is one of the greatest 

 novelties of the year. 



New Pink Rambler, Euphrosyne.— The pink Rambler com- 

 pletes the entire range of cardinal colors that can be embraced 

 in these beautiful climbing Roses. I now have the Crimson 

 Rambler, the Yellow Rambler, the White Rambler, and the 



Pink Rambler. This Rose is as charming as any of its rivals, 

 embracing all their good qualities of hardiness, vigorous growth! 

 profuse blooming and delightful fragrance. Be sure and have 

 a set of the Rambler Roses. 10 cents each; large two- 

 year-old plants, 40 cents each. 



New Crimson Rambler.— The plant is of very vigorous growth , 

 making shoots from eight to ten feet in length during the season' 

 rendering it a charming pillar Rose. It is also magnificent in 

 bush form, and for covering buildings, trellises, etc., it cannot 

 be excelled. The flowers are produced in great pyramidal pan- 

 icles, or trusses, each carrying from thirty to forty blooms, the 

 individual flowers measuring about one to one and a half inches 

 in diameter. It is covered with flowers from the ground to its 

 very top. It is hardy in every latitude yet tried as far north as 

 the lakes. As a decorative pot plant it cannot be excelled. I 

 can recommend this novelty in the strongest manner as being a 

 new Rose of great importance and value. A correspondent of 

 the ^London Garden writes in the issue of July 14, 1894: " With 

 me at this date (July 6) this Rose is grand. I have a dozen large 

 plants on prepared land or turf. I did not prune much, merely 

 shortening back and placing stakes to support the long growths. 

 I gave a liberal mulch early in the Spring, with the result that 

 the growths are very strong, and the clusters of bright crimson 

 flowers at this date are beautiful. On one shoot alone I counted 

 over three hundred blooms." 10 cents each; large two- 

 year-old plants, 40 cents each. , 



New White Rambler, Thalia.— This charming new Rose of 

 the Rambler variety is a wonder. It climbs rapidly, is entirely 

 hardy, produces immense clusters of pure white Roses, perfectly 

 double, of delightful fragrance, and of an immaculate whiteness. 

 It is without question the best climbing Rose extant. 10 cents 

 each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cents each.

Pink Rose, Bridesmaid.— All know that Bridesmaid takes 

 precedence as a pink Rose. More plants of it are cultivated 

 by the amateur, and more cut bloom is sold by the flower 

 dealer of it than any pink Rose. Why? Because the bud 

 is of exquisite shape and contour, so solid and firm, and the 

 stems are so long and stiff that no other Rose will compare with 

 it in keeping qualities after being cut. 



White Rose, The Bride, or White Mermet.— The best pure 

 ivory white Tea Rose. A fine bunch of these buds, cut with long 

 sprays of foliage, would grace any bride in her wedding robes. 

 Itisunsurpassedforpurityofwhitenessandforform and size. It 

 "pinks " in the bright, hot weather of mid-Summer when plant- 

 ed out of doors. 



Red Rose, Meteor.— A velvety-red ever-bloomer of the deep- 

 est glowing crimson, as fine as a Hybrid. Flowers of medium 

 size, very double and slightly recurving. This is unquestionably 

 the best dark, velvety red Rose yet produced. Grand, both in 

 bud and in flower. 



Pink Chrysanthemum, Indiana.— This variety produces 

 the largest blooms to be found in the family, with one or two 

 exceptions, perhaps. It is very nearly globular in form, and 

 has a circumference of twenty-two inches, nicely incurved, and 

 of a clear, bright pink, outside of petals a little lighter. 



Yellow Chrysanthemum, Golden Wedding.— The grand- 

 est yellow ever offered. This fine variety swept everything be 

 fore it at the New York and Philadelphia shows. In color it is 

 deep, bright golden, of shining texture, is very large in size, the 

 petals are both long and broad, and channeled lengthwise. 



Fuchsia, Black Prince.— I have seen a plant of this Fuchsia 

 six feet high and five feet through, and by actual count it was 

 loaded with over five thousand of its bright blooms. It was an 

 object of beauty not soon forgotten. It is of the easiest culture, 

 requiring the same treatment as other Fuchsias. No plant will 

 attract more attention than a well grown specimen of Fuchsia 

 Black Prince. Its clusters of long, drooping, tube-like, brilliant 



flowers, and very large, green foliage, give it a most striking 

 and beautiful appearance. 



Otaheite Orange. — As a pot plant this lovely dwarf Orange is 

 one of the most novel and beautiful that can be grown. With 

 a couple of plants of it you can have an abundance of the far- 

 famed delicate and fragrant Orange blossoms. I have grown a 

 large stock of clean, vigorous plants that will bloom and fruit 

 at once, of this beautiful Orange, and commend it to my friends 

 as a novelty of sterling worth and merit. 



Sanseviera Zeylanica. — A new decorative plant of great 

 beauty and value. A beautiful plant, splendidly adapted for the 

 decoration of drawing rooms or halls, as it stands drouth and dust 

 with impunity, and requires scarcely any water. The leaves 

 grow to a length of three or four feet, and are beautifully striped 

 crosswise, with broad, white variegations on a dark green 

 ground. A rare and beautiful plant which should be abund- 

 antly grown for positions out of the reach of sunlight, where 

 other plants will not thrive. When you consider that it can be 

 placed in any position in any room and do well, its great useful- 

 ness is at once apparent. 



Hibiscus, Sinensis Giganteus.— Its flowers are of enor- 

 mous size, often eight to ten inches across, opening flat, and 

 of such a vivid crimson scarlet color that they can be seen for a 

 long distance, like a flaming torch. It is hard to find anything 

 among flowers more strikingly showy. They can be wintered 

 in a cellar or pit with perfect safety, and if one does not care to 

 grow them all Winter, one should have one or two for Summer 

 display. No plant is surer to grow and thrive under any treat- 

 ment than this, and few can ever be so satisfactory. 



Pink Carnation, Abundance.— Flowers very large and per- 

 fect in form. Color a bright, rosy pink, w^th salmon shading 

 when the flower is fully expanded. A very healthy grower and 

 remarkably free bloomer. Plant dwarf, growing about fourteen 

 inches high. This I consider one of the best pink varieties evet 

 offered, and an excellent variety for pot culture. 



New Climbing Moss Rose, » CUMBERLAND BELLE." 



This is the forerunner of a new race of Roses, a grand, true 

 climbing Moss Rose. It is of American origin, having been 

 found growing in a private garden in the historic Cumberland 

 Valley— a sport from that pretty Moss Rose Princess Adelaide. 

 Itseu a strong, vigorous grower, which is wonderfully developed 



in the offspring, the original sport the first season having at- 

 tained a height of over fifteen feet and had one hundred and 

 eighteen buds and flowers on it at one time. The past season, 

 planted side by side with Crimson Rambler and other rampant 

 growers, it fully equaled them in vigor of growth. In color it is 

 identical with the parent, a bright silvery rose, very double, the 

 buds nicely mossed and exquisitely fragrant. 35 cents each.
