New Climbing Rose, CRIMSON RAMBLER, 
The plant is of very vigorous growth, making shoots from 
eight to ten feet during the season, rendering it a charming pil- 
lar Rose. It is also magnificent in bush form, and for covering 
buildings, trellisses, etc., it cannot be excelled. One of the strik- 
ing characteristics of this Rose is its remarkable color, which is 
_ of the brightest crimson, which remains undimmed to the end, 
showing none of the objectionable purplish-tint,so common in 
crimson Roses. The flowers are produced in great pyramidal 
panicles, or trusses,each carrying from thirty to forty blooms, 
the individual flowers measuring about one to one and a half 
inches in diameter, and remaining perfect on the plant for up- 
wards of two weeks with their freshness of color unimpaired. 
The foliage is bright green and glossy, and contrasts finely with 
the bright crimson of the flowers. It is said to be exceedingly 
hardy, having successfully withstood the test in exposed situa- 
tlons of two very severe Winters in England. It is hardy in 
every latitude yet tried as far north as the lakes. Asa decora- 
tive pot plant it cannot be excelled, Ican recommend this nov- 
elty in the strongest manner as being a new Rose of great im- 
portance and value. This Rose received gold medals from the 
National Rose Society, of England, and the National Horticul- 
tural Society, of France, the International Exposition at Earl’s 
Court, as well as numerous first-classcertificates. A correspond- 
ent of the Lozxdonx Garden writes in the issue of July 14, 1894: 
“* With me at this date (July 6) this Rose is grand. I have a doz- 
en large plants on eanarcailaad orturf. 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 theclusters of bright 
‘crimson flowers at this date are beautiful. On one shoot alone I 
‘counted over three hundred blooms.’? There has no Rose ever 
been introduced up to the present time that has had as much writ- 
ten and satd about it as this famous Rose, and of course everybody 
will have to have one or more plants of zt. I have an immense 
stock of tt in perfect health, so that all who purchase of me will be 
Pleased. Price, 20 cents each; three plants for socents. Large 
two-year-old plants, 50 cents each, or three for $1.25. 
REINE OLGA DE WURTEMBURG. 
This is a splendid Rose. Should be grown where the Mare- 
chal Neil succeeds. This variety as grown in the South of 
France is simply indescribable. The people of the South would 
do well to employ this beautiful sort for covering verandas and 
trellises. Color a rosy-pink, suffused with yellow and fawn. 
Price,15 centseach. Large two-year-old plants, gocents each. 
Wonderful New Climbing Rose, EMPRESS OF CHINA. 
This is a new Climbing Rose of the greatest excellence, It 
was brought to this country by a gentleman from Cuba, who 
says of it that it commences to bloom in May, and is loaded with 
its elegant blooms until December, Think of it! There is no 
other Rose like it that will bloom for so long a time, This has 
been the great objection to Climbing Roses, that they bloom 
once and then are done, But here I have a Rose that blooms 
continuously for over seven months of the year. It is simpl 
wonderful. When it first opens the flowers are a beautiful pul 
but soon turn to a lovely light pink, and it blooms so profusely as 
to almost hide the plant. Itis perfectly hardy, and is a vigorous 
grower. Don’t fail to try this-beautiful Rose, as it will please 
you. Price, 25 cents each; three for 60 cents. Large two-year- 
old plants, 60 cents each; two for $1.00. 
MARECHAL NEIL, 
A beautiful, deep sulphur-yel- 
low, very full, very large, and ex- 
ceedinglyfragrant. Itisthe finest 
yellow Rose in existence. It has 
a climbing habit, and where it is 
allowed to grow until it attains a 
large size, as it will in a few years, 
it yields thousands of beautiful 
olden-yellow flowers. Especial- 
y desirable in the South. Iseli 
annually fifty thousand of this 
Rose alone. [have a grand stock 
of this variety. Price, first size, 
1o cents each; fine plants, 25 cents 
each; extra strong plants, 50 cents 
each. It will pay you to buy a 
strong plant, 
Notr.—Thke Marechal Neil has 
weak roots until it gets well estab- 
lished. This is the cause of so much 
failure with this most desirable 
Rose Ihave grafted plants that 
will be sure to live. Price, one-year- 
old plants, $1.00: two-year-old 
plants, $1.50; three-year-old plants, 
$2.00. These are extra fine plants 
of this lovely Rose. By far the best 
you have ever seen offered, and will 
be sure to please and delight you. I 
have an excellent stock of over five 
thousand strong, grafted plants of 
Marechal Nez.
