RAIMBLER ROSES 



The New American Crimson Rambler 

 "PHILADELPHIA" 



The Pliiladelpliia CriQison Rambler is the product of 

 Crimson Rambler and the splendid hybrid perpetual rose, 

 Victor Hugo, one of the best and mostbrilliantofthe hybrid 

 perpetual class, and it is recommended strongly both for out- 

 door planting and for forcing. 



The " Philadelphia" Crimson Rambler differs from the 

 •old variety in three important particulars: 1st, the color is 

 brighter, deeperand more intense; 2d, the flowers are per- 

 fectly double to the centre, very durable and of excellent 

 ■substance ; 3d, 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.

 ing habit, somewhat similar to Crimson Rambler, but larger

 all over the bush. Color pure, soft violet-rose upon rich, 

 creamy ground ; very pleasing and attractive. It is a good, 

 healthy grower and entirely hardy. 15c., postpaid; 2-year,
