One of Each, All Different, for 50 cents postpaid. 



All are perfectly hardy and unequaled for porch orna- 

 mentation. „ 



Aglaia (Yellow Rambler) — Tlic Yellow Rambler has 

 been found to successfully withstand, without protection, 

 a continued temperature of from zero to two degn i s be- 

 low. The flowers are horn,' in clusters, after the same 

 manner as the Crimson Rambler, and are a bright lemon- 

 vellow, changing to creamy white. 



Crimson Rambler — This wonderful climbing Rose, in- 

 troduced some years ago. has made a record for itself 

 unequaled by any other Rose. Every season it gains in 

 popularity tud it appears destined to remain at the head 

 of i ho li"st of hardy climbing Roses. It is a vigorous 

 -rower, making shoots 10 to 20 feet in height in a sin- 

 gle season, and when in bloom commands admiration by 

 the gorgeous display of its crimson clusters of blossoms, 

 each cluster a bouquet in itself. Upwards of 15,000 

 blossoms have been produced by a single plant. This 

 marvelous prodigality is uot uuusual with it, as it suc- 

 ceeds everywhere. The blooms remain on the plant for 

 a great length of time without losing their brightness; 

 the foliage is also retained, to a great extent, during 

 the winter, making the plant almost evergreen. It is 

 perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. 



Helene — Buds, a beautiful crimson, turning; to sofl 

 violet-rose, with base of petals yellowish white as flower 

 opens. Strongly resembles the Crimson Ramhler, bloom- 

 ing in immense clusters, which carry from 40 to 50 in- 

 dividual blossoms. 



Philadelphia Rambler — Pure deep crimson. Far 

 brighter, more intense than the old Crimson Rambler, 

 which has heretofore been the standard for brilliant 

 color; does not fade, bleach or wash out, but holds ii- 

 color to the last. Undoubtedly the brightest and best 

 of all hardy crimson climbing roses. Blooms two weeks 

 earlier than the Crimson Rambler. Flowers 2% inches 

 across and perfectly double, borne in large clusters, com- 

 i Letely covering i he bush. 



Thalia (White Rambler) — This charming new rose of 

 the Rambler variety is a wonder. It climbs rapidly, is 

 entirely hardy; produces immense clusters of pure white 

 roses, perfectly double, of delightful fragrance and of 

 an immaculate white.

 Price, 12 cts. each, postage paid. 



Baby Dorothy — (Maman Levavasseur.) This is a 

 beautiful companion rose to the crimson Baby Rambler. 

 It was originated by the same grower and is just as 

 vigorous and free blooming. Practically the only dif- 

 ference is in the colors of the flowers, which are a very 

 bright and pleasing rose-pink. It is much the color of 

 that charming climbing rose, Dorothy Terkins, hence the 

 appropriateness of the name, "Baby Dorothy." It is 

 perfectly hardv and blooms without cessation from early 

 spring until late in the fall. As a pink bedding rose it 

 has no equal. We have counted as many as 100 blooms 

 to the cluster on three year old plants. Price, 15 cts. 

 each, postage paid. 



White Baby Rambler (true) — There are two other 

 white polvantha roses which have been sold by some 

 houses as'wnite Baby Ramblers. They are -nod roses 

 iu their way, but we think them hardly entitled to the 

 name for the reason that they differ from the original 

 Babv Rambler (crimson) in habit of growth and manner 

 of blooming. To our idea, no rose should be dubbed a 

 '•Baby Rambler" unless it has the peculiar dwarf, com- 

 pact growth and wonderful profusion of bloom which 

 earned the first Baby Rambler its name. Our White 

 Baby Rambler came from a prominent German rosarian 

 and has identically the same habit of growth and free- 

 dom of bloom as the other two "Baby" rosea Price. 

 15 cts. each, postage paid.

 flowering and dwarf habit of the latter.

 Crimson Rambler, is very appropriate; for the plant Is
