NEW FLORAL GUIDE-SPRING 1898. 



NEW GOLDEN RAMBLERi^!112i!!!!li22> 



This is entirely dif- 

 ferent from the Yellow 

 Rambler. It is a true 

 perpetual bloomer, bear- 

 ing large clusters of ele- 

 gant roses all through the sea- 

 son, from June till December. 

 The flowers are medium size, 



and quite full and double ; the color is rich apricot 

 yellow, passing to pure white. The same bush 

 bears both white and yellow roses at the same time, 

 and sometimes one-half the flower will be white, 

 and the other half yellow. It is one of the most con- 

 tinuous blooming roses we know, and is hardly ever 

 without buds and flowers the whole season. 

 The plant is quite hardy, unless in very exposed 

 situations ; is a neat handsome grower, has few 

 thorns, and is very desirable for porches, verandas, 

 etc., where a fine constant blooming cluster rose is 

 always highly valued. 



Price, 15 cts. each; 2 for 25 cts. Lar§:er size 

 20 cts. each ; 2 for 35 cts. Two year size, 30 cts 

 each; 2 for 50 cts. 



THE EMPRESS OF CHINA is a hardy perpetual-bloom- 

 ing climbing rose, said to have been brought from 

 China; it resembles a tea rose; blooms the first year 

 and all through the season. The color is soft, dark red, 

 passing to light pink or apple blossom. The flowers 

 are medium size and quite fragrant; not entirely 

 double, but of pleasing graceful form and borne on 

 long stems, nice for cutting. It is a rapid grower, of 

 slender twining habit, bearing few thorns, and val- 

 uable for training over porches, arbors, etc. It is 

 entirely hardy, needs no protection and will thrive 

 in any locality. Price, 15 cts. each; larger size, 20 

 cts.; two year plants, 30 cts each.
