AYRSHIRE ROSES 



These are of slender, rapid growth, often running fifteen 

 feet in one season, and are used in covering buildings, etc. 

 They do not require rich soil, and should be pruned very Httle, 

 or not at all. 



Bennett's Seedling, t'/^. Pure white double flowers 

 of medium size. 



CLIMBING POLY ANTRA ROSES (Rambiers) 



The popular " Crimson Rambler" is the tj'pe of this family 

 and is still regarded as one of the best cHmbers grown. Since 

 its introduction a few years ago many new varieties of ster- 

 ling merit have been brought out so that the collection now 

 offered embraces a charming and varied assortment, of both 

 double and single flowered varieties of ever>- shade of color, 

 all well adapted for covering arches, pillars, pergolas, veran- 

 dahs, trellises, etc. They are all vigorous growers and pro- 

 duce vheir flowers abundantly and in large trusses. 



Blush Rambler, vig. In gro\vi:h similar to Crim- 

 son Rambler; flowers single, perfectly round, 

 very fragrant, and produced in large clusters; 

 color a rich blush. A free bloomer. 



Crimson Rambler. The wonderful Japanese Rose, 

 by far the most important and valuable acqui- 

 sition of recent years . 1 1 is a running or dim bing 

 rose of vigorous habit, strong and rapid growth, 

 with handsome, shining foliage, and produces in 

 marvelous abundance clusters of the brightest 

 crimson semi-double roses. Its clustered form, 

 its brilliancy, the abundance of its bloom, and 

 the great length of time the flowers remain on 

 the plant without falling or losing their bril- 

 liancy, are qualities which make this a great 

 favorite. For verandahs, walls, pillars, and 

 fences, it is a most suitable plant. If grown in 

 beds and pegged down it produces marvelous 

 heads of bloom, or it can be grown in bush 

 form and thus becomes a most striking object. 

 But it is not only for out-door use that is valu- 

 able ; it can be employed most satisfactorily for 

 decorating in-doors when grown in pots, and 

 for forcing at Easter time when pot-grown 

 specimens bring high prices. 



Dawson, vig. A vigorous and hardy plant with a 

 tendency to climb high. Flowers are clustered 

 like those of the Rosa Multiflora. They are 

 quite full, of a deep pink color, and very fra- 

 grant. 



Debutante, vig. Very double, in clusters, soft 

 pink, fragrant. 



Helene, vig. Large, pale violet rose, with yellow- 

 ish white center and borne in clusters. A strong 

 grower and free bloomer ; effective. 



We do not have agents. Buy direct from the grower and do 



away with the middleman's profit and agent's commission. 



Leuchtstern, vig. Single, in large clusters, bright 

 rose with a distinct white eye, like a Cineraria; 

 foliage and habit resembling Crimson Rambler. 

 A very distinct and valuable variety. 



Multiflora Japonica. A charming species, intro- 

 duced from Japan more than a century ago, but 

 only recently brought to notice. It is exceed- 

 ingly free-blooming, and towards the end of 

 June the plant is covered with great clusters of 

 small white, single, sweetly fragrant flowers, 

 in which the golden-colored anthers make a 

 charming contrast with the snowy-white petals. 

 It is extremely hardy and grows rapidly, and is 

 a valuable shrub. 



Paul's Carmine Pillar, vig. Very large, single, 

 bright rosy carmine, and produced abundantly. 

 Grows ten to twelve feet in a season. 



Philadelphia Rambler, vig. An improvement on 

 the famous Crimson Rambler, flowers being 

 larger, much more double, and of a lighter 

 crimson color. 



Queen Alexandra, vig. Rosy pink, produced in 

 clusters, a strong grower and free bloomer. 



Rubin, vig. Resembles Crimson Rambler, but has 

 larger flowers of a deep red or ruby color. 

 Very attractive. 



Waltham Rambler, vig. An attractive variety, 

 bearing large panicles of rosy pink single flow- 

 ers, slightly paler in the center and showing the 

 yellow stamens. A strong grower. 



Wedding Bells, vig. White, base of petals soft 

 pink ; very free flowering. 



White Rambler (Thalia), vig. Small or medium, 

 daisy-like, pretty white flowers in large clus- 

 ters; fragrant; very ornamental.

 but white when fully open ; when half open the 

 flowers are tinged with yellow, slightly fra- 

 grant. Plant vigorous and free-blooming ; hardy, 

 very pretty and desirable. 



NEW RAMBLERS OF EXTRAORDINARY 

 MERIT 



Mrs. Flight. Beautiful pink, semi-double. A 

 strong grower and a very free bloomer. One of 

 the best. 



Tausendschon, or Thousand Beauties. Cannot 

 be too highly recommended on account of its 

 free flowering qualities and beautiful white and 

 delicate pink blossoms. It has already been 

 recognized by the leading florists, and is grown 

 in large quantities now for winter forcing, and 

 for garden decoration it cannot be surpassed.
