GRASS WALK AT THE M7. HOPE NURSERIES, SHOWING LARGE BED OF FRAGRANT YELLOW DAY LILY IN FLOWER. 



The Wonderful New Rose, Crimson Rambler. 



''300 Blooms on One Shoot."" 



This superb novelty is of the Polyantha class and was originally received from Japan. 



The plant is of very vigorous growth, making shoots from eight to ten feetduringthe season, 

 rendering it a charming pillar Rose. It is also magnificent in bush form, and for covering build- 

 ings, trellises, etc., it cannot be excelled. One of the striking characteristics of this Rose is its 

 remarkable color, which is of the brightest crimson, and which remains undimmed to the end, 

 showing none of the objectionable purplish tint so common in crimson roses. 



The flowers are produced in great pyramidal panicles or trusses, each carrying from thirty to 

 forty blooms, the individual flowers measuring about one to one and a half inches in diameter and 

 remaining perfect on the plant for upwards of two weeks with their freshness of color unimpaired. 

 The foliage is bright green and glossy, and contrasts finely with the bright crimson of theflowers. 

 It is said to be exceedingly hardy, having successfully withstood the test in exposed situations of 

 two very severe Winters in England. We have not had an opportunity to test its hardiness here, 

 but from all appearances we think it is. As a decorative pot plant it cannot be excelled. We 

 can recommend this novelty in the strongest manner as being a new Rose of great importance 

 and value. 



This rose received Gold Medals from the National Rose Society of England, and the National 

 Horticultural Society of France, the International Horticultural Exposition at Earl's Court, as 

 well as numerous first-class certificates.
