ROSES 



(Continued.) 

 EXCELSA. 



A distinct variety in form, color and habit; 

 vigorous in growth, with healthy dark, glossy 

 green foliage. The flowers are very double, 

 produced in large trusses of thirty to forty, 

 and almost every eye on a shoot pro- 

 duces clusters of flowers. The color is 

 intense crimson - maroon, the tips of 

 the petals tinged with scarlet. The in- 

 dividual flowers are very large for a climb- 

 ing Rose, being similar to those of the 

 General Jacqueminot, only the petals are of a more loose form, 

 two-year-old plants, §1.50 each. 



Everblooming Crimson Rambler "FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD." 



A counterpart of Crimson Rambler in every respect, except that it is 

 everblooming, every new growth being terminated with a large cluster of 

 flowers. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



HIAWATHA. 



There is no other Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be seen to be 

 appreciated. Its flowers are about 1.} inches across, and produced in 

 long, pendulous sprays, with frequently from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. 

 In color it is brilliant, ruby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass 

 of golden stamens — a glowing combination of colors, which can be seen 

 at a great distance, and which does not tire the eye as do masses of 

 Crimson Rambler. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, with bright 

 green, glossy foliage, which is retained until late in fall, (See illustra- 

 tion.) Extra strong 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



NEWPORT FAIRY 



Is also a most valuable single-flowering Rambler Rose, but with flowers of 

 a deep pink, which shade lighter towards the centre. It is a strong 

 grower, and produces its large clusters of flowers in great profusion. An 

 established plant with thousands of flowers open at one time is very 

 attractive Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz. 



Nfw Rambler Rosb, Hiawatha. 



TAISENDSCHON. 



Entirely distinct, not only in Ramblers, but in climbing Roses 

 generally. The individual flowers are very large for this type 

 of Rose, being fully 3 inches across and of a most elegant and 

 graceful form, not stiff or unnatural, but as beautiful as a 

 semi-double Azalea. In color it is a most delightful shade of 

 c^i> -^rA when first opening, changing to carmine on the re- 

 verse of petals when fully expanded. These are produced in 

 trusses of from 10 to 15 flowers, each truss a veritable bou- 

 quet. Extra strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 

 per doz. 



The Blue Rose " Yeilchenfolau." 



The sensational so-called blue Rose which has been so widely 

 advertised by many growers; a strong, vigorous grower, with 

 dark green, healthy foliage. Strong two-year-old plauts, 50 

 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



WHITE DOROTHY, 



Among Rambler Roses none has justly gained greater popularity 

 than the beautiful pink Dorothy Perkins. The White Dorothy

 sition to this class of Roses Strong two-year-old plants, 50 

 cts. each; $5.00 per doz
