f^ambler. 



It is of rapid, vigorous growth ; plants in our 

 grounds attained a height of fifteen feet the 



past season. The flowers are produced in 



trusses, pyramidal in shape, good specimens 

 measuring nine inches from base to tip, and seven inches 

 across, fairlj' 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 pro- 

 fusion of bloom is marvelous, over three hundred blooma 

 having been counted on one shoot. 



It is essentially a garden Rose, but makes a magnificent 

 specimen in a pot or tub. 



We offer fine pot-grown plants of this grand climb- 

 ing Eose which, if planted this fall, ought to give a 

 nice crop of bloom next season. These plants would 

 also make good specimens in pots in the greenhouse 

 or conservatory in the spring, if potted and started 

 into growth early. Price, 60c. each, S6.00 per doz. ; 

 plants from open ground (ready October 25th), 40c.

This illustration 

 shows a plant of 

 the CRIMSON 

 RAMBLER on the 



estate of Mr.

 Newport, R. I., 

 taken July. 1896. 

 The plant was 

 set out in May, 

 1895, and was 

 furnished by 

 us. About 18 

 inches high 

 when planted; 

 when the photo- 

 graph was taken 



it was 

 fifteen feet high 

 and six feet wide. 



The grandest plant for cemetery 

 decoration in existence. It grows 

 flat on the ground like an ivy and 

 blooms in grand abundance through- 

 out 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, extra 

 strong plants, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz.
