 marked improvement is in the habit, which is much 

 more branching than the Crimson Rambler, forming 

 a fine shrub or bush on which the foliage can hardly 

 be seen for the bloom; it comes into flower from 

 ten days to two weeks earlier than the parent.

 5;$;5:$5:5:$5;5:5:5:5555::5::5v555 magnificent flowers of beau- 

 tiful form in the utmost profusion. It resembles 

 Maman Cochet, and in many respects is the equal 

 of that variety, only it is several shades lighter in 

 color, and we think this is almost sufficient endorse- 

 ment of the aualities of this great introduction. 

 Don't miss giving this variety a careful trial. 15

 a strong grower and free bloomer, bearing in great 

 profusion beautiful buds of enormous length, equal- 

 ing the old Niphetos, and in this respect surpassing 

 it, because this variety carries more petals. The 

 color is lovely wine-red. and we believe this to be 

 one of the really meritorious Roses of European 

 origin. 25 cts. each; 5 for $1; two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each,
