RIMSON RAMBLER— This new climbing Polyantha Rose is the sensation of 

 the day, and well it ma.y be, for it is indeed a marvel. Originating in Japan, it 

 may well be considered the latest and best contribution from the "Flowery 

 Kingdom" to the gardens of the world. It is perfectly hardy in the open ground and will 

 grow 8 to 10 feet in a season. An ever bloomer, continuing from early spring to late fall, 

 the flowers appealing in large panicles, of rich crimson color, like-blood-colored velvet. 

 The flowers when cut last two weeks in water, and fully a month on the bush, which 

 is a perfect mass of rich crimson at all times. It can be grown in various ways, either 

 as a pillar rose, or a trellis rose and for covering a wall it has no equal. 



New Yellow Rambler— The fact of this new hardy climbing Rose being identi- 

 cal with Crimson Rambler with the exception of the color of the flowers, which are deep 

 golden yellow, is sufficient guarantee of its great excellence. It is a notable fact that we 

 have no hardy yellow climbing Roses, hence we look upon the introduction of this Rose 

 as perhaps more important than its renowned relative. Crimson Rambler. The habit of 

 growth is very vigorous; if anything, somewhat stronger than Crimson Rambler, well 

 established plants making numerous shoots 8 to 10 feet high in one season. As many as 

 120 to 150 blossoms are frequently produced on a shoot. The color is a deep 

 decided golden yellow; the flowers are cup-shaped, nearly full and very sweetly scented. 



New Pink Rambler— The flowers appear in large, full, handsome pyramidal 

 trusses, similar to Crimson Rambler, and are borne in great profusion from three to five 

 weeks during the season. The color of the flower is pure shiny rose: the half-open bud is 

 a brilliant light carmine, making a strong and effective contrast. The numerous yellow 

 stamens lend an additional charm to the flower. A most magnificent effect can be had 

 by grouping the Golden. White, Yellow and Pink Ramblers with Crimson Rambler. No 

 such importantintroductions have been made for many years as these new Rambler Roses. 



New White Rambler — Flowers of the White Rambler have the charm of being 

 sweetly scented. Color a pure white, without a blemish. The} - remain on the bush from 

 three to five weeks and a well-established plant is a sight to behold. The habit of growth 

 is vigorous-, : yoting"planfs throwing up shoots 8 to 10 feet iit height in a single season. 



The New Golden Rambler — This is one of the most free-flowering Roses in culti- 

 vation. Young plants when planted in the open ground in spring will begin to grow and 

 bloom at once and will continue throughout the-season until checked by severe frost. It is a vigorous grower, producing 

 handsome foliage, which makes a beautiful contrastto the fine clusters of golden amber-colored flowers so finely produced.
