INTERESTING ODDITIES-xo0s«s 
A new Rose from Holland that originated from Crimson Rambler. 
It bears semi-double flowers of medium size, in large bunches. The orig-

to amethyst or metallic blue."’ We have bloomed it inside and outside and 
find it as described, and a very distinct novelty. Thoroughly hardy and a 
vigorous, tall-growing climber. Price, I-yr., 15 cts., postpaid; 2-yr., 35 cts.; 
Star size, 50 cts., extra-size plants, $1 each, by express.

color as the leaves—a deep pea-green; a 
free bloomer. Price, I-yr., 15 cts., postpaid;
