This is indeed a remarkable rose, and we feel safe in making the statement^ that it surpasses 

 all other roses of the rambler class. For many years past the Hiawatha has enjoyed the distinc- 

 tion of being the most brilliant and best of all the ramblers, surpassing in brilliancy its rival, the 

 Crimson Rambler, and, unlike it, has mildew-proof foliage, but its flowers are single. Po'keep- 

 sie is a sport of the Hiawatha, and possesses the same vigorous habit, profusion of bloom and 

 clean mildew-proof foliage of its parent, with perfectly double flowers in large well-formed clus- 

 ters (see illustration), that are produced in such masses as to literally envelop the entire bush. The 

 color is a brilliant ruby carmine with white at the center of each flower. In brief, Po'keepsie 

 excels in the brilliancy of color and profusion of its bloom, vigorous growth, abundant clean 

 foliage and hardiness — the most beautiful and best rambler rose.
