THE ROSE WONDER OF THE CENTURY. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER — This new Climbing Polyantha Rose is the 

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

 Tel. Originating in Japan, and may well be considered ^g^^ 

 the latest and best contribution from the " Flowery * 

 Kingdom" to the Gardens of the World. It is perfectly 

 hardy in open ground, will grow S to 10 feet in a season. 

 An everbloomer. continuing from early spring till late fall, the 

 flowers, appearing in great panicles t.s large as a man's hat, 

 and of a deep, 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, as a pillar rose, a trellis rose, 

 and for covering a wall it has no equal, and when pegged down 

 it will forma bed of itself. Cut back it is a magnificent pot rose 

 for the window. It is always in bloom, even when very small, 

 and is easily trimmed to a bushy grower. Crimson Rambler has 

 been awarded highest honors and medals by the leading Horti- 

 cultural Societies throughout the world. Every garden in 

 America should have this Rose. I have placed the price within 

 reach of all. Strong, healthy plants 25c each ; £2.50 per dozen.
