Roses 
We offer below a selection of the very 
best of the newer Hardy Rambler Roses, 
as well as the old well tried varieties. 
All are perfectly hardy with the excep- 
tion of Gloire de Dijon, Lamarque, Mare- 
chal Neil and White and Yellow Banksia, which 
should be protected in this latitude. 
American Pillar. A new single-flowering vari- 
ety of great beauty. The flowers are of enor- 
mous size, three to four inches across, of a 
lovely shade of pink, with a cluster of yellow 
stamens. These flowers are borne in immense 
clusters. They last in perfection a long time, 
and are followed by brilliant red pips or 
berries, which are carried late into the winter. 
The plant frequently retains its lovely green foliage 
until the end of November. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
Baltimore Belle. Blush, flowers in clusters. 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert. Identical in color with the bedding rose of this name, 
but a strong, vigorous climber. 
Crimson Rambler. Too well known to require description. 
Delight. A most effective new single Rambler, with flowers borne in large clusters. 
These hang in graceful form, a truss being produced from almost every shoot. In 
color it isa bright carmine. the base of the petals white, with the centre filled witb 
yellow stamens. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
Dorothy Perkins. Soft, shell-pink, flowering profusely in large clusters. 
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 General Jacqueminot, only the petals are of a more loose form. 75 ects. each. 
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. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

lous sprays, with frequently from 40 to 50 flowers on aspray. In

fully expanded. These are produced in trusses of from 10 to 15 
flowers, each truss a veritable bouquet. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
