NEW CKI-MSO.N" KAMBLER. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER — This new climbing Polyantha Rose is the 

 sensation of the day. and well it may be, for it is indeed a mar- 

 vel. Originating in Japan it may be well considered the latest 

 and best contribution fi'om the "Flowerj- Kingdom"' to the gar- 

 dens of the world. It is per- fectly hardy in open ground, 

 will grovv eight to ten feet eSi^a ^ ^ season. An ever- 

 bloomer, continuing from QwU^ early spring to late fall, the 

 flowers appearing in great ^^B^ panicles as large as a man's 

 hat, and of deep rich crim- ^^s'**^ son 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 crim- 

 son at all times. It can be grown in various wa.vs, either as a 

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

SOUV. DE PRES. CARNOT—{Hydrid Tea.)— This novelty is one of 

 the daintiest and most charmiag roses in cultivation. Its color 

 is a soft, creamy fawn, overlaid with the most delicate shade of 

 pink. As the rose expands it discloses a heart of the most ex- 

 quisite blending of cream and glowing pink imaginable. The 

 coloring is simply charming, and must be seen to be appreciated, 

 as woi*ds cannot convey half the delicacy and beauty possessed 

 by this favorite. The shape of the bud is full and pointed, add- 

 ing another feature of beauty, while the rose as it expands seems 

 to grow more and more beautiful, the tinting growing more pro- 

 nounced as it approaches the center, while the petals curl and 

 expand in a bewildering manner. You should not fail to possess 

 one of these imported beauties. The fragrance is as charming as 

 the rose 'tself. Very free bloomer, strong vigorous grower. 35c

 ing is seen on but few roses and is greatly admired. The bud is

 fusion. 20c each.
