GRAND NEW 
— Japanese Climbing Rose Crimson Rambler. — 
This is a grand new garden rose, highly recommended for covering trellises, arbors, etc. It is a strong, 
vigorous grower, sometimes attaining a height of eight to ten feet the first season; also a tremendous 
bloomer, bearing immense clusters of most brilliant colored roses in such great profusion that the whole 
plant appears a sheet of bloom for weeks at a time. The color is intense glowing crimson, remarkably 
bright and striking — in fact, one of the brightest colored roses ever seen. Like other hardy climbing 
roses, it does not usually bloom till the second season, but is then such a mass of glowing beauty that 
every lover of fine flowers is glad to wait its time. We have a large stock of fine healthy plants. 
Price, 15 cts. each; 3 for 40 cts.; Larger size, 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts., postpaid. Fine two-year plants, 
by express, purchaser paying the express charges, 
40 cts. each; 3 for $1.00; $3.50 per doz. Extra size,

$1.25 ; $6.00 per doz. 
NEW-HARDY PERPETUAL 
BLOOMING CLIMBING ROSE, 
EMPRESS OF CHINA. 
There was so much inquiry 
last year for this new hardy per- 
petual blooming climbing rose 
that we have added it to our 
lists, but, as we have not tested 
it ourselves, we give the descrip- 
tion of the introducers, who say 
" the Empress of China is a true 
perpetual bloomer and was 
originally brought from China. 
It begins to bloom in this lati- 
tude about the first week in May 
and blooms continuously on un- 
til late in the Fall, besides this 
it blooms the first year, which 
no other hardy climbing rose does. The 
flowers are of medium size, very graceful 
in form and highly fragrant. It blooms 
profusely the first season and every suc- 
cessive year. The buds are very pretty 
and borne on long stiff stems. The open 
flower is nearly double, and strongly re- 
sembles a tea rose. The color is soft dark 
red, passing to light pink or apple blos- 
som. It is entirely hardy, needs no 
protection, and will thrive in any 
locality." Price, strong, well-rooted 
plants, 35 cts. each.; 3 for $1.00, post- 
paid.

A GRAND NEW ROSE, 
CLIMBING METEOR**

sport from that finest of all Hy- 
brid Teas, Meteor, but the flow- 
ers are much larger and of a 
brighter, richer color, equalled 
only by the splendid Jacquimi- 
not, and, in fact, it might very 
properly be called a perpetual 
Crimson Rambler. blooming climbing General 
Jacquiminot. It makes exquisite buds, and large beautifully shaped flowers of the true Jacquiminot 
color. The plant is a remarkably strong grower and a most constant and profuse blcomer, producing im-

what is wanted to train up in a conservatory or bay window. Price of strong vigorous mailing plants,
