BEARS IN MARVELOUS PROFUSION IMMENSE TRUSSES OF DEEP 

 GLOWING CRIMSON FLOWERS.

VE doubt if any Rose ever introduced 

 during our twenty-eight years of ex- 

 perience in the Rose business has 

 been advertised so extensively and 

 attained such widespread popularity as has this 

 new Hardy Japanese Climbing Rose. It has 

 won prizes everywhere, and is unquestionably 

 the most sensational, as well as meritorious 

 Rose introduced during the past decade. It is 

 truly a remarkable and unlooked-for novelty 

 among climbing Roses. It is a vigorous, rapid 

 grower, making shoots from eight to ten feet 

 in height during a season ; when pegged down 

 or grown as a bush, it is equally desirable, pro- 

 ducing in the greatest profusion innumerable 

 trusses of flowers, whose appearance is rich 

 and striking in the extreme. As will be seen 

 in our colored plate illustration on preceding 

 page, the flowers are borne in immense trusses, 

 pyramidal in form, and in color are rich, glow- 



ing crimson — an effect so strikingly beautiful as 

 to baffle description. 



WHEN IN FULL BLOOM IT IS 

 A VIVID CRIMSON MASS OF 

 BEAUTY. 



A correspondent in the London Garden 

 writes that on one shoot alone over three hun- 

 dred (300) perfect bright crimson blooms were 

 counted. 



IT IS EXCEEDINGLY HARDY, "'^'^" 



and we have yet to hear, even where the Win- 

 ters are severest, of its not standing the coldest 

 weather with impunity. Where will there be 

 found any flower that approaches this wonder- 

 ful Rose for home planting, or in effective deco- 

 rative value ?

NOTICE. — We offer fine plants, strong- and "well rooted, 

 that have been twice repotted, therefore are worth far 

 more than weak, tender plants from small pots. We have 

 prepared a splendid stock for this Spring's sale. This Rose 

 should be included in every order. Its value is of the lasting- 

 kind — it will grow more beautiful year after year. 



We have a limited number of magnificent, large, field- 

 grown plants, on own roots, that are great, heavily rooted 

 specimens, five years old. They will give immediate results.
