>HIS is perhaps the most remarkable group of Roses introduced for many years. They are 



varieties of extraordinary value, notably the Crimson and Yellow Ramblers. Among 



Climbing Roses they are away ahead of anything we have had heretofore. They are 



perfectly hardy everywhere, and bear their grand flowers in wonderful profusion. If you 



could but see them blooming you would not be without them. We have been fortunate 



in getting a large stock of splendid plants, therefore we make the price low. Be sure to try them. 



They will grow in almost any soil or situation.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. 



This is truly a remarkable and unlooked-for novelty 

 among hardy climbing Roses. It is a vigorous, rapid 

 gT<jwer, making shoots 10 to 20 feet in height in one 

 season. When pegged down or grown as a bush, it 

 is equally desirable, producing in marvelous profu- 

 sion innumerable trusses of flowers, pyramidal in form 

 and in color a rich, glowing crimson — an effect so 

 strikmgly beautiful as to baffle description. When 

 in full bloom it is a vivid crimson mass of beauty. In 

 Japan, where it originated, Crimson Rambler is known 

 as "the Cherry Rose," so bright are its flowers. 

 Grown as a pot plant on a trellis it is extremely 

 valuable. Around the holidays such plants in New 

 York and Philadelphia sell for $5 to $10 each. For 

 general open-ground planting it is superb. It will 

 stand the severest Winters with impunity. No yard 

 or garden in the land should be without Crimson 

 Rambler. Read what a customer says : 



" Hampton, Va., May 6, 1898. 

 " The Crimson Rambler bought of you two 

 years ago has grown forty feet, and has about a 

 thousand clusters of buds on it now.

 White Rambler, with which it differs 



" Last April I sent for the 'American 

 Beauty Set ' of Roses, one-year-old plants; also 

 Prince Camille de Rohan and Climbing White 

 Pqt. They have bloomed and are most exquisite 

 and exactly as represented. Now, gentlemen, 

 unsolicited, and in view of your honest descrip- 

 tion, I wish to say that from the specimens pro- 

 duced from the above-named plants, they bid 

 fair to outshine my former favorites, each one 

 being well worth the price charged for the 

 whole. "Mrs. Mary Forrest,

 Exceedingly

YELLOW 



RAHBLER (Aglaia). 



Inasmuch as this is the only hardy yellow climbing 

 Rose in cultivation, it is perhaps a more important in- 

 troduction than its renowned relative, Crimson Ram- 

 bler, with which it is identical, with the exception 

 of the flowers which are deep golden yellow. This 

 is sufficient guarantee of its great value. It is a 

 notable fact that we have no hardy yellow climbing 

 Rose. This feature alone makes it an almost indis- 

 pensable variety. The habit of growth is more vigorous 

 and better than Crimson Rambler. It is entirely free 

 from mildew and kindred diseases; it blooms with 

 great freedom, bearing large, pyramidal trusses of 

 golden-yellow flowers, which are cup-shaped, nearly 

 full and very sweet scented. As many as 120 to 150 

 flowers are frequently seen on the same shoot. With 

 us it stood unprotected and uninjured, a continual 

 temperature of from zero to twelve degrees below. 

 A grand Rose that has no equal. 



WHITE 



RAflBLER (Thalia). 



This is a splendid Rose, distinct and valuable, of 

 the true Rambler type. It, as well as the Pink Ram- 

 bler, are not the equals of Crimson or Yellow Ramblers 

 in size and form and flower, nor are they as prolific. 

 Not that these varieties are of inferior merit, but rather 

 that the Yellow and Crimson varieties are unusually 

 good. The flowers are the size of a silver quarter, 

 partly filled, very fragrant, and in color pure white, 

 sometimes tinged with blush. They are borne in 

 clusters, and a well-established plant in bloom makes 

 a striking appearance. The habit of growth is very 

 vigorous, more so than Crimson Rambler, young plants 

 making a growth of 10 to 20 feet in a single season. 

 Perfectly hardy.
