THE NEW HAI\DY 

 PINK RAMBLER ROSE, 



LADY GAY. 



.^ * - ". v - 



THE CKIMSON KAMBLEK. 



This grand Rose improves upon acquaintance; the better it is 

 known the more popular it becomes. We have occasionally to 

 modify opinions formed of the value of new Roses, but the 

 " Crimson Rambler " is one that we offer to our customers with 

 greater confidence in its merits. It came to this country her- 

 alded as a wonder among flowers, but the most extravagant 

 praises yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it ample justice. It 

 is adapted to the entire country, and should be in every garden 

 in America. ITS GROWTH: It is of rapid growth; attains a 

 height of fifteen feet in a season. Flowers in trusses, measuring 

 nine inches from base to tip and seven inches across, fairly cov- 

 ering the plant from the ground to the top. (See cut.^ 



Related to the "Crim- 

 son Rambler," closely 

 resembling it in vine and foliage. The flowers are pure white 

 and remain on the plant a long time — from three to five weeks. 



A cross between "Crim- 

 son " Rambler " and 

 suffused with salmon- 



This new variety, a seedling from the popular Crimson Rambler, which 

 it closely resembles in habit of growth and general effect, is destined to 

 become one of the most popular of garden climbing Roses, for which 

 purpose it is especially adapted on account of its delicately-tinted flowers, 

 which are of a delicate cherry-pink, which gradually changes to a' soft 

 white. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with profuse, glossy, 

 deep green foliage, and the effect of a plant in full bloom, with the com- 

 bination of the soft white flowers, the cherry-pink buds and the deep 

 green foliage, is indeed charming. It is of American origin, has been 

 exhibited extensively in Europe, and has everywhere been highly com- 

 mended. (See cut.)

A GRAND HARDY CLIMBING ROSE. 



TAUSENDSCHON or "THOUSAND BEAUTIES.' 



A beautiful, new climbing Rose which has leaped into popularity by 

 its inherent merit and beauty. The name " Thousand Beauties " is very 

 appropriate and refers particularly to the wonderful variety of coloring 

 found on any one plant. The flowers are soft pink at first, but as they 

 age the most beautiful shades of carmine rose, cerise, blush, soft white, 

 with a gleam of light yellow showing, soft crimson and intermediate tints 

 are found, a combination of charming coloring which is bewildering. It 

 is a rampant grower, very healthy with magnificent foliage.
