THE CRIMSON RAMBLER. 



This grand Rose improves upon acquaintance; the better it is 

 known the more popular it becomes. We have occasionally to 

 modify opinions formed of the value of new Roses, but the 

 " Crimson Rambler " is one that we offer to our customers with 

 greater confidence in its merits. It came to this country herald- 

 ed as a wonder among flowers, but the most extravagant praises 

 yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it ample justice. It is 

 adapted to the entire country, and should be in every garden in 

 America. ITS GROWTH: it is of rapid growth ; attains a height 

 of fifteen feet in a season. Flowers in trusses, measuring nine 

 inches from base to tip and seven inches across, fairly covering 

 the plant from the ground to the top. (See cut.) .
