MISS MARTHA HISER, URBANA, OHIO, 



A PAGE OF THE GRANDEST CLIMBING ROSES 



KNOWN TO THE FLORAL WORLD. 



The Rambler Roses. 



Seven Beautiful Varieties. 



Helene. New Rambler Rose— Distinct new color, pretty, light 

 rosy red; foliage and growth like its parent, Crimson Rambler. 

 Price 15 cents each, large two year old plants 40 cents. 



Yellow Rambler, Aglaia— Flowers borne in immense clusters, 

 after same manner as Crimson Rambler; same handsome pyramidal 

 form ; clear decided yellow flowers. From 120 to 150 flowers in a clus- 

 ter, very sweetly scented. Flowers last three to four weeks without 

 fading, and a large bush in full bloom is one of the most beautiful 

 and magnificent sights imaginable. Growth is very vigorous. Price 

 10 cents each, fifteen plants for $1.00 ; large two year old 

 plants 35 cents each. 



Golden Rambler, Allister Stella Gray — Vigorous grower; 

 blooms profusely both early and late. Straw and orange yellow 

 flowers, of small size, are borne in large, handsome clusters; big bou- 

 quet n each cluster. Price 10 cents each, large two year old 

 plants 40 cents each. 



Psyche, New Pink Rambler— Has all of the characteristics of 

 Crimson Rambler, with the same large clusters of flowers, the same 

 identical strong, clean growth, but it is the first true Pink Rambler 

 and is bound to be, and justly so, as popular as Crimson Rambler, to 

 which it is a beautifitl companion. Its individual flowers are larger 

 than its parent variety, ranging from two to three inches across; not 

 qnite so numerous, they are so innch larger and so much more beauti- 

 ful in the clusters. The color is an exquisite rosy pink; base of the 

 petals suffused with yellow; the beauty of this combination is beyond 

 description. We predict a career for this grand new Climbing Rose 

 as notable as that of Crimson Rambler, of which we will venture to 

 say that there is upwards of a half million plants sold in this country 

 alone during the past year, which is, as you can imagine, prodigious 

 for the sales of one solitary variety. Price for this grand novelty, 

 20 cts each, 3 for 50 cts ; large two year old plants 50 cts. 



Pink Rambler, Euphrosyne— Identical with Crimson Rambler in growth, hardiness 

 and richness of bloom. Color, pure shiny rose; half open bud, brilliant light carmine. 

 Price 10 cents each, large two year old plants 35 cents each. 



White Rambler, Thalia— Habit of growth, manner of blooming and form of flowers 



identical with Crimson Rambler. Superb flowers, pure white in color, produced in splendid 



large clusters of same pyramidal form. 10 cts each, large two year old plants 35 cts. 



Crimson Rambler — Rapid growth; flowers produced in 



trusses, pyramidal in shape, good specimens measuring nine 



inches from base to tip and seven inches across, fairlycoyer- 



ing plant from ground to top, so that it is a mass of glowing 



| crimson. Color is superb, remaining strong and vivid to the 



i end: plants in my grounds retained bloom for two months. 



I Profusion of bloom is marvelous. A correspondent stated that 



I on one shoot he counted over 300 blooms. Essentially a garden 



Rose, but makes a magnificent specimen in pot or tub. Price 



j 10 cts each. 15 plants for $1.00; two year old size 35c. 



SPECIAL OFFER-For 60 cts I will send the entire 

 set of " Rambler Roses," postpaid : In two year old 

 ' size for $2.00. 



Climbing Meteor, the New Rose— Might more properly 

 be called Perpetual Blooming Climbing General Jacqueminot. 

 Though a sport from the finest of all Hybrid Teas— Meteor- 

 it is much larger, of a deeper rich color. It will make ten to 1 

 fifteen feet of growth in a season and show a profusion of 

 bloom every day. Foliage, strong, healthy, luxuriant; buds 

 exquisite; flowers large, beautifully shaped and of that rich, 

 dark velvety crimson color seen only in the Jacqueminot. I 

 do not hesitate to pronounce it the finest Rose in existence j 

 for Summer biioming, as it will make a large growth and is j 

 loaded with glorious blossoms all the time. For Winter ; 

 blooming it has few equals in beauty and probably none in 

 profusion. It is just the Rose to train up in a conservatory j 

 or bay window. Price 10 cents each, three for 25 cents; i 

 two year old plants 50 cents.

 Climbing Rose — Commences to flower early in Summer, 

 and from that time until late in the Fall blooms continuously.

 10 cents each, large two year old plants 50 cents ! 

 each. 



The Mary Washington Climbing Pillar Rose— This 

 Rose, which is so widely advertised, is claimed by the intro- , 

 ducer to have originated in the garden of George Wash- i 

 ington, at Mt. Vernon, over one hundred years ago. It is I
