New Fiery Red Rambler Rose, EXCELSA. 



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

 in the brilliant fiery-red, or intense crimson-scarlet of the flowers. The intensely 

 brilliant color is accentuated by the great masses of giant trusses 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 borne in trusses of thirty to forty on each; the body of the flower is brilliant 

 in color but towards the edges of the petals they light up with a wonderful 

 scarlet-crimson. It is very vigorous in growth and belongs to the disease- 

 proof race of Climbing Roses developed by crossing on Rosa Wichuraian i. 

 Price, field grown plants, ready Oct. 20th, 40c. each; $4.00 per doz. 



THE " GARNET CLIMBER." 



The flowers are produced in clusters, a rich garnet crimson, delightfully 

 fragrant. The foliage is luxuriant, a deep green with a highly polished surface. 

 Price, field grown plants. 30c. each. $3 00 per doz. Ready Oct. 20th.

 Paradise, Delight, Evangeline, Hiawatha and Wedding Bells. These are fully
