THE RAMBLER ROSES.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. 



White Pet Rambler {Climbing White Pet). An un- 

 usually vigorous grower and a wonderfully profuse 

 bloomer. It is remarkable for the rapidity of its growth 

 and freedom of bloom. The flowers are very double 

 and full, of medium size, pure snowy white, and borne 

 in large clusters continuously throughout the whole 

 season. They are sweetly fragrant and the most de- 

 lightful of Roses. The plant needs but moderate pro- 

 tection in the coldest climate and thrives everywhere 

 in the most wonderful fashion. From 2% iu. pots, 

 ea., 15c; 4 for 50c. 



Crimson Kambler. The strongest evidence of the 

 great merit of this Rose is the wonderful popularity it 

 has attained within such a short time. Seldom has any 



Rose been so warmly welcomed or more gratefully ap- 

 preciated; and it is well worthy of it all. It is a climb- 

 ing Rose of vigorous habit and rapid growth, producing 

 in marvelous profusion large pyramidal clusters of 

 bright crimson, semi-double flowers of great substance, 

 which remain a long time and retain their bright color 

 until they fall. It is entirely hardy with us without 

 protection and its abundant dark green glossy foliage, 

 which remains healthy and clean through the summer, 

 renders it attractive at all times. A splendid variety 

 for covering walls, verandas, pillars, etc. , being so vig- 

 orous in growth as to make shoots of from eight to ten 

 feet during the season. It is also very handsome and 

 interesting as a pot plant. Its profusion of bloom 

 is simply astonishing, producing a perfect blaze of rich 

 color and flowering for an unusually long period. From 

 2% in. pots, ea., 12c; 3 for 30c; doz., $1.00. From 4 in. 

 pots, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50. Heavy, full grown 

 plants, ea., 35c; 4 for $1.00; doz., $3.00. 



Golden Rambler (A. Stella Gray). We must confess 

 that we have been unable to see in this variety any of 

 the great merit claimed for it. The flowers are small 

 and bright yellow in color, borne in clusters, but with 

 us they are neither abundant nor sufficiently good to 

 warrant praise. From 2% in. pots, ea., 15c; 4 for 50c. 



Pink Rambler (Euphrosyne). Of German origin, and 

 in habit of growth, foliage, manner of blooming, form 

 of flower, hardiness, and vigorous climbing habit may 

 be said to be almost identical with Crimson Rambler, 

 of which it is a blood relative, but the flowers are pure 

 shining rosy pink, the partially open buds being of a 

 bright light carmine, producing a pleasing contrast, 

 and the numerous yellow stamens lend an additional 

 charm to the flower. From2)^in pots, ea., 15c; 4 for 50c. 



White Rambler (Thalia). Of the same origin and 

 strain as Pink Rambler and what we have said of that 

 variety applies equally well to this except that the 

 flowers are pure snowy white and sweetly scented. Its 

 beautiful bloom is very abundant and remains on the 

 bush for several weeks with delightful effect. From 

 2}4 in. pots, ea., 15c; 4 for 50c. 



' Yellow Rambler (Aglaia). One of the most beautiful 

 of climbing Roses and the only yellow climbing Rose 

 possessing any considerable degree of hardiness. The 

 flowers are a clear, decided yellow and of good size, 

 cup-shaped and nearly full; are borne in huge clusters, 

 are very sweetly scented and continue in perfection 

 for several weeks without fading. The growth is very 

 vigorous and the bloom excessively profuse, a bush of 

 it in full bloom presenting a splendid appearance. From 

 2*4 in. pots, ea., 15c; 4 for 50c; doz., $1.25. Heavy 

 field grown plants, ea., 40c: 3 for $1.00; doz., $3.50. 



SPECIAL. For 75c we will send one good, strongr plant each of the above Six Ramblers, by mail if preferred. 

 For $1.25 we will send two heavy field grown plants each of Crimson and Yellow Ramblers. 



THE DAWSON ROSE. 



A hybrid between Rosa multiflora and Gen. Jacque- 

 minot, of strong, vigorous growth and very hardy. 

 The flowers are semi-double, borne in large clusters, in 

 great profusion, diffusing to a large distance its great- 

 est charm of all— an exquisitely sweet fragrance. In 

 color it is a delightful, soft, clear, rosy-pink, and forms 

 a perfect cloud of color, charming the eye and delight- 

 ing every beholder. From 2)4 in. pots, ea., 15c; 4 for 50c. 



ROSA RUGOSA. 



Hardy Japan or Apple Roses. For descriptions and 

 prices of these valuable shrubs see page 80. 



These are among the 

 most beautiful of all in- 

 troductions fiom Japan 

 and should be much bet- 

 ter known than they are. 

 Nothing can exceed the 

 beauty and grace of their 

 large single flowers, pro- 

 duced in such profusion, 

 or the charming crimson 

 berries or hips that suc- 

 ceed them, which present 

 such an ornamental ap- 

 pearance and give 

 brightness and warmth 

 to the winter land 

 scape. 



THE MEMORIAL ROSE. 



Rosa Wichuriana. 



A very distinct species and of such charming grace 

 and beauty as to make it an universal fa vorite. It is a 

 perfect trailer, hugging the ground closely, grows ten 

 to fifteen feet in a season, and is densely furnished with 

 dark green, glossy foliage, forming a dense blanket, 

 always clean and perfect and with but few thorns. The 

 flowers are single, pure snowy-white, with bright 

 golden-yellow discs and with- the fragrance of the 

 Banksia Roses. They are borne in clusters and in 

 such numbers as to fairly en velop the plant. It blooms 

 later than most Roses and continues for a long time. 

 Succeeds everywhere, but is peculiarly appropriate for 

 cemetery planting. From 2)4 in. pots, ea., 12c; 3 for 

 30c; doz., $1.00. Field grown plants, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; 

 doz., $1.50.
