The New American Crimson Rambler 



- Philadelphia - 



Introduced by the Conard £^ Jones Company. 1902 



HE Philadelphia Crimson Rambler, which is shown in our 



^ beautiful colored plate 

 on front cover of this book, and which we now have the pleasure of offering 

 for the first time, is the product of Crimson Rambler and the splendid 

 Hybrid Perpetual Rose, Victor Hug:o, one of the best and most brilliant of 

 the Hybrid Perpetual Class. It originated with that veteran horticulturist and noted 

 hybridizer, Dr* Van Fleet, of the Rural New-Yorker, who says he considers it the best 

 and most valuable rose he has yet produced, and recommends it strongly both for 

 outdoor planting and for forcing. After testing it thoroughly on our own grounds 

 we were fully convinced of its great value, and finally purchased the whole stock, and 

 now offer it for the first time. 



The Philadelphia Crimson Rambler f^^^"^^ f^om the old variety 



• — -— — in three important particulars. 



Ut, the color is brighter, deeper and more intense. 2nd, the flowers are perfectly 

 double to the centre, very durable, and of excellent substance. 3rd, the blooms are almost 

 entirely free from the faded or washed out appearance so frequently seen in the flowers 

 of the old kind. It is a good healthy grower, a free and abundant bloomer, producing 

 grand clusters of intensely brilliant, perfectly double flowers, and though it is not expected 

 to supersede the old Crimson Rambler, it will add a new and distinct variety of still brighter 

 and more brilliant crimson to our list of Hardy Rambler Roses, which are now in such 

 great demand.
