A customer, Wm. J. Campbell, Germantown, Philadelphia, writes us:— "In 1896 I paid vou 15 cents 

 for a Crimson Rambler In 1897 it was a very pretty bush. East year it bloomed profusely. This year it 

 has over twenty-five thousand blossoms, and is the admiration of the whole neighborhood. This year's 

 new canes are already four feet long and there is no cleaner plant in my garden. I advise everyoi 1 

 has not already done so, to get a Crimson Rambler at once.'*
