THE NEW HARDY, PINK RAMBLER ROSE 



LADY GAY 



This new variety, a seedling from the popular Crimson Rambler, which 

 it closely resembles in habit of growth and general effect, is destined to 

 become one of the most popular of garden climbing Roses, for which 

 purpose it is especially adapted on account of its delicately-tinted flowers, 

 which are of a delicate cherry-pink, which gradually changes to a soft 

 tmted white. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with profuse, 

 glossy, deep green foliage, and the effect of a plant in full bloom, with 

 the combination of the soft white flowers, the cherry-pink buds and the 

 deep green foliage, 'is indeed charming. This variety is of American 

 origin, it has been exhibited extensively in this country, as well as in 

 England and on the continent, and has everywhere been highly com- 

 mended. (See cut.) 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 40c. each, $4.00 per 

 doz.; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.

THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 



This grand Rose improves upon acquaintance; the better it is 

 known the more popular it becomes. We have occasionally to 

 modify opinions formed of the value of new Roses, but the 

 *' Crimson Rambler " is one that we offer to our customers with 

 greater confidence in its merits. It came to this country her- 

 alded as a wonder among flowers, but the most extravagant 

 praises yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it ample justice. It 

 is adapted to the entire countrv, and should be in every garden 

 in America. ITS GROWTH: It is of rapid growth; attains a 

 height of fifteen feet in a season. Flowers in trusses, measuring 

 nine inches from base to tip and seven inches across, fairly cov- 

 ering the plant from the ground to the top. (See cut.)
