CRIMSON RAMBLCR. 



After three seasons' trial this variety has made 

 a record which places it at the head of the list as 

 the most desirable Hardy Climbing Rose. It is of Mg- 

 orous growth, making shoots from 8 to 10 feet in height 

 during a season, and is consequently a most desirable 

 climbing variety; when pegged down or grown as a 

 bush, marvelous heads of bloom are the result. It is 

 exceedingly hardy. As a pot-plant it is un- 

 equaled for decorative purposes. The flowers 

 with which the plant is covered in the spring are 

 produced in large trusses of pyramidal form and 

 of the brighest crimson color. The blooms re- 

 main on the plant for a great length of time without losing their 

 brightness. The foliage is also retained to a great extent duiing 

 the winter, making the plant almost an evergreen. It is extremely 

 hardy, having withstood the test in exposed situations of three veiy 

 severe winters.
