NEW RAMBLER ROSE, TAUSENDSCHON 



Hiawatha. There is no other Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It 

 must be seen to be appreciated. Its flowers are about I'/i 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. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, with bright 



' 'green, glossy foliage, which is retained until late in fall. Extra 

 strong 2-year-old plants. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

 growth, with flowers of a delicate cerise-pink, passing to soft- 

 tinted pink.

Marechal Neil. Superb; bright golden-yellow. 50 cts. each. 



Prairie Queen. Deep rose, hardy and desirable. 



Solfaterre. Fine shade of light yellow. 50 cts. each. 



Tausendschon. 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. In color it is a most delightful 

 shade of soft pink when first opening, changing to carmine on 

 the reverse of petals when fully expanded. These are produced 

 in trusses of from 10 to 15 flowers, each truss a veritable bouquet. 

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

 arranged trusses of small flowers of a delicate rose color, chang- 

 ing to a creamy white.

 protection.

 greater popularity than the beautiful pink Dorothy Perkins.

 year-old plants, 60 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



White Banksia. White, small flowers; very fragrant. 50 cts. each.
