THE CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE. 



Plants from open ground ready October 20th. 



This grand Eose improves upon acquaintance. The better it is known the more 

 popular it becomes. It is of rapid, vigorous growth; plants in our grounds at- 

 tained a height oififteenfeet the past season. The flowers are produced in trusses, 

 pyramidal in shape, good specimens nieasuring«???e inches from base to tip, and seven 

 inches across, fairly covering the plant from the ground to the top, so that it is one 

 mass of glowing crimson. The color is superb and remains strong and vivid to 

 the end ; plants in our grounds retained the bloom for two months. The profusion 

 of bloom is marvelous, over three hundred blooms having been counted on one shoot. 



THE YELLOW RAMBLER. 



(AGLAIA.) 



This promises to supply that " long-felt want," a double yellow hardy climb- 

 ing Rose, a thing which has been sought after the world over. It is perfectly 

 double, very fragrant, entirely hardy, having withstood, unprotected, a 

 prolonged temperature of from zero to two decrees below. It is related to 

 the Crimson Rambler, and, like it, blooms L» large trusses, often bearing 

 from 120 to 150 flowers in a cluster. The flowers last three to four 

 weeks without fading. It is a very vigorous grower, making shoots 8 to 10 

 feet in one season when well established, so that it possesses all the 

 requisites for unbounded popularity. 



THE WHITE RAMBLER. 



( THALIA. ) 



This variety, Thalia (the White Rambler), is a fitting com- 

 panion for the Crimson Rambler, closely resembling it in vine 

 and foliage, as well as in the great clusters of pure white 

 flowers, which are deliciously fragrant. The flowers remain on 

 the plant a long time — from three to five weeks — and keep a 

 long time when cut. The plant is perfectly hardy, equal in this 

 respect to the Crimson Rambler, and where one is planted the 

 other should be also. By growing this in a pot and training it 

 to a pyramidal trellis, a fine plant may be had in bloom for 

 Easter. 



THE PINK RAMBLER. 



{EUPHROSYNE.) 



This beautiful variety is fit to rank with the two above mentioned. It is 

 from the same source as the White Rambler, fully the equal of both in 

 hardiness, vigor, size and profusion of flowers and blooming qualities. 



Price, for the four " Ramblers " above, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. Young 

 plants from pots, now ready, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz.

HARDY CREEPING ROSES, 



The Memorial Rose. 



(Rosa Wichuraiana.) 



The grandest plant for cemetery decoration in existence. 

 It grows flat on the ground, like an ivy, and blooms in 

 grand abundance throughout July and intermittingly the 

 balance of the season, pure white, sweetly fragrant flowers, 

 with a golden yellow disc. It is perfectly hardy, and if 

 planted this fall should bloom next season. Price, strong 

 plants from open ground, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz. Young 

 plants from pots, now ready, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 

 Ready October 20th. 



Double White " Memorial Rose." 



i Man da's Triumph.) 



Blooms in clusters of from 12 to 18 flowers on each, liter- 

 ally covering the plant. This variety is valuable for all 

 purposes, whether for trailing on the ground for cemetery 

 use, growing on fences and gate posts, boundary walls, or 

 as specimens in pots or tubs. (See prices next column.)
