Dwarf Crimson Rambler. 



(Madame Norbert Levavasseur.) 



HARDY AND PERPETUAL-FLOWERING. 



(Also called the "BABY RAMBLER.") 



THE descriptive name of this extremely valuable new 

 Rose, " Dwarf Crimson Rambler," seems a 

 misnomer, yet nothing is more appropriate, for 

 the fame of the "Crimson Rambler" properly be 

 longs to it. It forms compact bushes about 2 

 feet high when fully grown, and is fully covered 

 with clusters of its rich, crimson-red flowers 

 throughout the season. It begins to bloom 

 when in small pots and is practically never out 

 of bloom for the balance of the year. Per- 

 fectly hardy, it requires no winter care, and 

 should improve each year with good culture. 

 The coloring is brighter and more persistent 

 than in its parent, the "Crimson Rambler," 

 of which it is a seedling. The size of the 

 clusters and the number of flowers in each 

 are the marvel of all beholders. Its use is 

 varied so as to render it invaluable. As a 

 bedding variety, to make a low, attractive 

 hedge, to border a walk, for planting in cem- 

 eteries, or for growing in pots in the house, it 

 stands alone and must find its way everywhere. 

 Remember it is hardy and perpetual-flowering. 

 Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. ; 2d 

 size, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz. ; 3d size, 20c. each 

 $2.00 per doz. (all plants that will bloom).

C. P. STRASHEIM. 



A very valuable summer-blooming 

 Tea Rose. It is distinguished among 

 the many meritorious Roses we offer 

 for its healthy, vigorous habit and 

 its great freedom of bloom. Frcm 

 the time the little plants were first 

 in bloom in the open ground in May 

 it was never out of flower and not a 

 sick plant appeared. The color is a 

 very delicate shade of primrose- 

 yellow with a tint of fawn, the latter 

 shade being quite pronounced in ths 

 centre of the flowers. As the flower 

 ages the color lightens toward the 

 ends of the petals to a light sulphur- 

 yellow, almost white, making a 

 charming contrast with the darker 

 portions of the flowers, giving a very 

 finished and unique appearance to it. 

 Like all of theever-bloomingmonthly 

 Roses, it is at its best during the 

 cool days of spring and fall. (See 

 cut.)
