CRi:^SOIV RAMBLHR. 



After five years' trial this variety has made a record which 

 places it at the head of the list of Hardy Climbing Roses. It is 

 a vigorous grower, making shoots 8 to 10 feet in height in a 

 single season, and when in bloom commands admiration by the 

 gorgeous display of its brilliant crimson clusters of blossoms, 

 £ach cluster a bouquet in itself. Within the past two years we 

 'heard of several cases where upwards of 8,000 blossoms have 

 teen produced by a single plant. This marvelous prodigality of 

 ■Ijloom is not unusual with it, as it succeeds everywhere. As a 

 pot plant, it is unequaled for decorative purposes, thousands of 

 pots of it in bloom being sold in Philadelphia last Easter. The 

 blooms remain on the plant for a great length of time without 

 ■losing their biightness, the foliage is also retained to a great ex- 

 tent during the winter, making the plant almost evergreen. It 

 is perfectly harily in all parts of the country.
