 in height in one season. When pegged down or grown as a bush it is 

 equally desirable, producing in marvelous profusion large trusses of 

 flowers pyramidal in form and in color a rich glowing crimson. When 

 in full bloom it is a vivid crimson mass of beauty. In Japan, its native 

 home, it is known as the "Cherry Rose," so bright are its flowers.

 the large cities, wliere it is sold at ••?5 and 81U each. Last "Easter plants

 of 8 t J 10 feet. Produces countless numbers of creamy-white fragrant 

 flowers. The flowers are borne for a period of about six weeks and are 

 succeeded by brilliant red berries. As a decorative Winter plant it is as 

 good as Berberis Thunbergi. Hardy.

 variety. In some respects the equal of Cr/n?so/i Rambler. Flowers large, 

 full and double, borne in large clusters after the fashion of Crimson 

 /?aw6/er. Color bright carmine; fragrant. A vigorous climber. Healthy 

 and hardy. Dawson, like Multiflora, bears light-red berries after blooming. 



NOTE.— We were so struck with the beauty and value of Multiflora and Dawson that we color-plated them in " Our New Guide " for 

 1898. They are grand Roses. 



A Customer, Wm. J. Campbell, Germantown, Philadelphia, writes us:— "In 1896 I paid you 15 cents for a Crimson 

 Rambler. In 1897 it was a very pretty bush. Last vear it bloomed profusely. This year ithas over twenty-five thousand 

 blossoms and is the admiration of the whole neighborhood. This year's new canes are already four feet long and there 

 is no cleaner plant in mv garden. I advise every one, who has not already done so, to get a Crimson Rambler at once."
