THE CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE. 



Plants from open ground ready October 20th. 

 This grand rose improves upon acquaittance. The belter it is known the more 

 popular it becomes. It is of lapid, vigorous growth ; plants in our grounds at- 

 tamed a height of fifteen feet the past season. 'J'he flowers are produced in 

 trusses, pyramidal in shape, good specimens measuring nine inches from base to 

 tip, and seven inches across, fairly covering the plant from the ground to the 

 top, so that it is one mass of glowing crimson. The color is superb and remains 

 strong and vivid to the end ; plants in our grounds retained the bloom for two 



months. The profusion oi bloom is marvelous, over three hundred blooms 



having been counted on one shoot. 



THE YELLOW RAMBLER. T^Ci:^. 



It is perfectly double, very fragrant, entirely hardy, having withstood, un. 

 protected, a prolonged temperature of from zero to two degrees below. 

 It is related to the Crimson Rambler, and, like it, blooms in large 

 trusses. The flowers last three to four weeks without fading. It is a 

 very vigorous grower, making shoots 8 to 10 feet in one season when 

 well established. 



THE WHITE RAMBLER. t^SXlia. 



This variety bears clusters of pure white flowers, which are delicior.sly 



fragrant. The flowers remain on the plant a long time— from three to 



five weeks— and keep a long time when cut. The plant is perfectly 



hardy, equal in this respect to the Crimson Rambler, and where one is 



planted the other should be also. By growing this in a pot 



and training it to a pyramidal trellis, a fine plant may be had 



in bloom for Easter. 



THE PINK RAMBLER, ewhrosyne. 



This beautiful variety is fit to rank with the two above men- 

 tioned. It is from the same source as the White Rambler, 

 fully the equal of both in hardiness, vigor, size and profusion 

 of flowers and blooming qualities.
