34 The Conard & Jones Company.—HMardy Climbing Roses. 
The New Crimson Rambler 
Introduced by The Conard & Jones Co., 
West Grove, Pa. (1902.) 
The Most Magnificent Hardy Crimson 
Climbing Rose in existence. 
PLENDID Flowers, 2% inches across and perfectly double. 
Borne in grand clusters, completely covering the whole bush. 
Color, pure deep rich crimson, far brighter and more intense than 
the old ‘‘Crimson Rambler,”’ which has heretofore been the standard 
for brilliant color. The “‘PHILADELPHIA”’ does not fade, bleach 
or wash out, but holds its bright dazzling color to the last, which 
adds greatly to its value. Has handsome foliage; does not mildew, 
and is a most abundant bloomer. Undoubtedly the brightest and best 
of all Hardy Crimson Climbing Roses yet produced; unequalled for 
covering porches, trellises, screens, fences, etc. Is a strong, quick 
grower, perfectly hardy, needs no Winter protection and bears 
““Bushels of Roses”’ every Season without attention. Makes a great 
sensation wherever seen. People declare they never saw such im- 
mense quantities of Roses BORNE ON ONE BUSH, orany flowers 
of such bright, dazzling crimson color. No mistake about it. The 
‘*Philadelphia’’ is the finest, Hardy Crimson Climbing Rose 
yet produced. 
The above is what we said about this Rose when we introduced 
it three yearsago. Since then we have watched it closely and are 
more enthusiastic over its fine qualities than ever. We have sent out 
thousands to our customers all over this country and abroad, and 
Philadelphia Rambler is everywhere recognized as the Best Hardy 
Crimson Climbing Rose there is. 
In England last year, Philadelphia Rambler was awarded a 
*<CERTIFICATE OF MERIT’’ at the great London Temple Flower 
Show, which is the finest_of all the English Horticultural Exhibitions.

““The Garden’’—One of the leading Horticultural Journals of 
England, under date of August 26th, 1905, says of. ‘Philadelphia 
Rambler:” 
“This isa splendid addition to the rambler roses, 
being FAR SUPERIOR TO CRIMSON RAMBLER, which is 
saying a great deal. The flowers are deeper in color, 
larger and fuilerand do not present such an untidy appear- 
ance when fading, a great drawback with Crimson Ram- 
bler. The Philadelphia Rambler seems in every way 
adapted to covering pergolas, the sides of rustic bridges 
or stumps in the open. Seen at a distance its color is 
most effective.”
