AND 
RAMBLER 
ROSES 
Since the introduction 
of the Crimson Ram- 
bler,in 1894, this class 
of Roses has continued 
to gain in popularity. 
Many splendid new varieties, both in single and double- 
flowering forms, have been added during the past few 
years. The best and most distinct of these we offer on this and 
the following two pages. 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond the cutting 
out of very old or dead wood and the shortening of the laterals and long 
canes to make the growth conform to the space to be covered, but a 
severe pruning in July, directly after they have finished flowering, is bene- 
ficial. Cutting away at that time all old flowering wood will encourage 
a vigorous growth, which will give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
American Pillar. A single-flowering variety of great beauty, which appeals to 
every one. The flowers are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of 
pink, with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. These flowers are borne 
in immense bunches, 
and a large plant in full 
bloom is a sight not 
easily forgotten. They 
last in perfection a long 
time, and are followed 
by brilliant red hips or 
berries, which are carried 
late into the winter; and 
as the plant frequently retains its lovely green 
foliage until the end of November, it forms a 
beautiful decorative subject throughout the au- 
tumn months. Illustrated on page 194. 50 cts. 
each; $5.00 per doz. 
ee ee Aviateur Bleriot (The Vew Yellow Rumbler). 
DoserivsPateike We have discarded the old yellow Rambler in 
Offered on page 193) favor of this new variety, in which we have a 
strong-growing plant with beautiful glossy, insect 
and disease-proof foliage, and bearing large clusters of medium-sized 
full double flowers of a saffron-yellow, deepening to an almost golden- 
yellow atthecentre. (Seecuton page193.) 50cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
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 ex- 
panded flower; in color a most refreshing bright wild-rose pink. 50 
cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
Climbing American Beauty. A cross between American Beauty 
and an unnamed seedling. Its name is somewhat misleading, but it is 
nevertheless one of the best climbing Roses offered in this collection. A 
strong, healthy, vigorous grower, frequently making shoots from. 10 to 
12 feet long, with glossy dark green foliage that is not affected with 
mildew, and good sized flowers for a climbing Rose that blooms so 
freely; color a pleasing rose-pink, of splendid form, good substance, 
and on stems of good length. A Rose of decided merit. (See cut.) 
50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
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. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
Price. Any of the above in strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; 
$5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
