NEW FIERY-RED RAMRLER ROSE, EXCELSA 



A splendid, new Climbing Rose, remarkable in many ways but particularly

 produced on the plants, and furthermore by the contrast with the deep green 

 glossy foliage. The flowers are very double; they are larger than any of the 

 Rambler Roses and are borne in trusses of thirty to forty on each; the body
