PETER HENDERSON d;CO., INEW YORK- 



THE:, CRIMSON RAMBLER. 



magnificent Pyramidal Clusters of Rich Crimson Roses, 

 Every Cluster a Perfect Bouquet of Roses In Itself. . . , 

 Grows Ten to X^venty Keet in a Year 



The flowers are produced in trusses, pyramidal in shape, good specimens 

 measuring nine inclies from base to tip, and seven inches across, fairly 

 covering the plant from the ground to the top, so that it is one mass ot 

 flowing crimson. The color is superb, and remains strong and vivid 

 to the end ; plants in our grounds retained tlie bloom for two months. 

 The piofiision of bloom is marvelous, over three 

 hundred blooms having been counted on one 

 shoDt. 



AS A POT PLANT. It is essentially a garden 

 Rose, but makes a niagnificont si)ecimen in a pot or 

 tub, growing in a twelve-inch pot four feet high 

 and three feet wide, bearing nearly five thousand 

 buds and flowers. 



The White Rambler, 



THALIA. 



Related to the Crimson Rambler, closely re- 

 sembling it in vine and foliage. The flowers remain 

 on the plant a long time — from three to five weeks 

 — and keep a long time wiien cut. The plant is per- 

 fectly hardy, equal in this respect to tlie Crimson 

 Rambler. By growing this in a pot and training it 

 to a pyramidal trellis, a fine plant may be had in 

 bloom for Easter. 



The Pink Rambler 



EUPHROSYNE. 



This beautiful variety is from the same source as 

 the White Rambler, fully the equal of it in hardiness, 

 vigor, size and profusion of flowers and blooming 

 qualities. 



Price, for the four Ramblers, let size, 50c. each. 

 $4.50 per doz. ; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. ; 3d 

 size, 10c. each, SI. 00 per doz. 



Special. The four " Ramblers," $1.75, $1.00, 35e. ; 

 1st, 2d, 3d sizes. 



"The 'BOUQUET' COLLECTION of Roses were flue, every 

 one grew and bloomed all summer. Thanks for the care in 

 packing and the extras." 



MRS. B. A. G.\LLEHER, 



S;indusky, Ohio.

Yellow Rambler 



AGLAIA. 



This promises to supply that 

 " long-felt want," a double yel- 

 low hardy climbing Rose, a 

 thing which has been sought 

 after the world over. It is 

 perfectly double, very fragrant, 

 entirely hardj', having 

 withstood, unprotect- 

 ed, a prolonged tem- 

 perature of from zero 

 to two degrees below. 

 It is related to the 

 Crimson Rambler, and, 

 like it, blooms in large 

 trusses. The flowers 

 last three to four 

 weeks without fading. 

 It is a very vigorous 

 grower, making shoots 

 8 to 10 feet in one sea- 

 son when well estab- 

 lished, so that it pos- 

 sesses all the requi- 

 sites for unbounded popularity.

 bright red. "When trained to a stake it makes an ornamental weeping bush, or

 green and retains its foliage all winter, which adds greatly to its utility. The 

 flowers are large and fragrant, full and double, and borne in gieat profusion.
