Dwarf Qrimson Rambler, 



^Madame \orbert Levavasseur.) 

 HARDY aJVD PERPETUTIL'PLOWERIMG 



(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 aboat 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.
