No Mere Words Can Describe the 

 Magnificent Beauty of the Ramb- 

 ler Rose when it is in Full Bloom. 

 Better Start One This Year. 



IbEAUTIFUL crimson RAMBLER— This new 



climbing Polyantha Rose is the sensation of 

 the day, and well it may be, for it is indeed a 

 marvel. Originating in Japan, it is the latest 

 and best contribution from the "Flowery King- 

 dom" to the gardens of the world. It is per- 

 fectly hardy in the open ground, and will grow 

 eight to ten feet in a season .\n ever bloomer, 

 continuing from early spring until late fall, the 

 flowers appearing in large panicles, of rich crim- 

 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 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. 



IfEW DIADEM RAMBLER— Flowers of the Diadem 

 Rambler have the charm of being sweetly 

 scented Ck)lor a pure white, without a blemish. 

 They remain on the bush from three to five 

 weeks and a well-estabhshed plant is a creatioa 

 of resplendent beauty. The habit of growth is 

 vigorous, young plants throwing up shoots 

 eight to ten feet in height in a single season. 



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-yel- 

 low is sufficient guarantee of its great excel- 

 lence. It is a notable fact that we have had 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 eight to ten feet high 

 in one season. As many as 120 to 160 blossoms 

 are frequently produced on a shoot. The flowers 

 are cup-shaped, nearly full and very sweetly 

 scented 



PINK PEARL RAMBLER — The flowers appear in 

 large, full, handsome pyramidal trusses, similar 

 to Crimson Rambler, and are borne in great pro- 

 fusion from three to five weeks during the sea- 

 son 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 stamens lend an additional 

 charm to the flower. 



A most Magnificent Effect can be had by grouping the Golden, White and Pink Ramblers with Crmson Rambler. 



introductions have been made for many years as these New Rambler Roses.
