 Roses. Plants Have Sold at

Beautiful Crimson Rambler — This new climbing 

 Polyantha Rose is the sensation of thedaj', and well 

 it may be, for it is indeed a mar\-el. Originating in 

 Japan, it is 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, con- 

 tinuing 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 w^s, either as a pillar rose, or a 

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



New Diadem Rambler — Flowers of the Diadem 



Rambler have the charm of being sweetly scented. 

 Color a pure ^\■hite, ■v^ithout a blemish. They remain 

 on the bush from three to five weeks and a- well- 

 established plant is a creation of resplendent beauty. 

 The habit of growth is vigorous, young plants throw- 

 ing up shoots eight to ten feet in height in a single 

 season.

No Mere Words Can Describe 

 the Magnificent Beauty of the 

 Rambler Rose when it is in 

 Full Bloom. Better Start 

 One This Year. 



Golden Beauty Rambler — The fact of this new 

 hardy climbing Rose bting identical with Crimson 

 Rambler, with the exception of the color of the flow- 

 ers, which are deep golden-yellow, is sufficient 

 guarantee of its great excellence. It is a 

 notable fact that we have had no hardy yellow climb- 

 ing Roses, hence we look upon the introduction of 

 this Rose as perhaps more important than its re- 

 nowned relative. Crimson Rambler. The habit of 

 growth' is very ^^gorous; if anything, somewhat 

 stronger than Crimson Rambler, well established 

 plants making numerous shoots tight to ten feet high 

 in one season. As many as 120 to 150 blossoms 

 are frequently produced on a shoot. The flowers 

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



Pink Pearl 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 flow- 

 ers 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 GROtTPING THE GOLDEN, WHITE 

 AND PINK RAMBLERS WITH CRIMSON RAMBLER. NO SUCH IMPORTANT INTRODUC- 

 TIONS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR MANY YEARS AS THESE NEW RAMBLER ROSES.
