Magnificent Mammoth Flowered 



Rambler Roses 



BLOSSOMS PRODUCED ON A SINGLE PLANT. YOU 

 ? v w CAN IMAGINE THE, EFFECT OF THESE WONDERFUL 

 VARIETIES WHEN IN FULL BLOOM. THEY ARE AS HARDY 

 AS AN OAK AND THE WONDER OF ALL ROSES. LAST EASTER 

 LARGE PLANTS SOLD IN NEW YORK AT $10.00 to $50.00 EACH. 



BEAUTIFUL CRIMSON RAMBLER— This new climbing Polyanth a Rose is the sensa- 

 tion of the day, and well it may 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 eight to ten 

 feet in a season. An ever bloomer, continuing from early spring until late fall, the flowers 

 appearing 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. 



Golden Beauty Rambler— The fact of this new hardy climbing Rose being identical 

 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 im- 

 portant than its renowned relative, Cr mson Rambler. The habit of growth is very vigorous; 

 if anything, somewhat stronger than Crimson Rambler, well established plants making numer- 

 ous shoots eight to ten feet high in one season. As many as 120 to 150 blossoms are 

 frequently produced ou a shoot. The color is a deep, decided golden-yellow; the flowers 

 are cup-shaped, nearly full and very sweetly scented. 



Pink Pearl Rambler — The flowei-s 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 flowers is pure shiny rose; the half -open bud is a brilliant light 

 carmine, making a strong and effective contrast. The numerous yellow stair ens lend an addi- 

 tional charm to the flower. A most magnificent effect can be had by grouping the Golden. White and'Piuk Ramblers with Crimson 

 Rambler. No such important introductions have been made for many years as these new Rambler Roses. 



New Diadem Rambler —Flowers of the Diadem Rambler have the charm of being sweetly scented. Color a pure white, 

 without) a blemish. They 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, young plants throwing'up shoots eight to ten feet in height in a single season.

 by Express at purchaser's expense. Extra size plants 50c each, or the set of four only $1.75. The
