Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses. 
Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, a cross between 
Caroline Testout and an unnamed seedling; it is of strong 
climbing habit, with large, heavy, dark green foliage, which 
is immune to disease. The flowers are double, from 3} to 4 
inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, of perfect 
form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded flower; 
in color a most refreshing bright wild-rose pink. 
Crimson Rambler. This was the first of the Rambler Roses, 
and was introduced from Japan in 1894. It is too well known 
to require description. Everyone is familiar with its large 
clusters of crimson flowers. 
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 produces clusters 
of flowers. The color is intense crimson-maroon, the tips of 
the petals tinged with scarlet. The individual flowers are very 
large for a climbing Rose, being similar to those of the Gene- 
ral Jacqueminot, only the petals are of a more loose form. 
This may be termed a great improvement on the Crimson 
Rambler, which it is sure to supersede, if only on account of 
its foliage, which is mildew proof. 
Hiawatha. 
White Dorothy. 
There is no other climbing Rose so brilliant as 
Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its flowers 
are about 13 inches across, and produced in long, pendulous 
In 
color it is brilliant; ruby-carmine, with a clear white eye and 
sprays, with frequently from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. 
amass of goldenstamens—a glowing combination of colors, 
which can be seen at a great distance. The plant is of strong, 
vigorous growth, with bright green, glossy foliage, which is 
retained until late in fall. 
Lady Gay. A most desirable variety of remarkable, vigorous 
growth, with flowers of a delicate cerise-pink, passing to soft- 
tinted pink. The effect of a plant in full bloom with the 
combination of the soft pink flowers, cherry-pink buds, and 
the deep green of the foliage is indeed charming. 
Among Rambler Roses none has justly 
gained greater popularity than the beautiful pink Dorothy 
Perkins. The White Dorothy is a duplicate except in color, 
and offers a pleasing contrast to the brilliant colorings of 
the majority of the other Rambler Roses. 
Price. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
