 the Crimson and Tdlow Ramblers. They are mostly hybrids of Multiflora, are perfectly hardv and bear their grand flowers

 in the list. When in full bloom, it presents the most gorgeous sight we have ever seen.

 20 feet in height in oue season. When pegged down or grown

 a rich glowing crimson. When in full bloom it is a vivid 

 crimson ma-s of beauty- In Janan, its native home, it is 

 known as the CTierry Rose, so bright are its flowers. Superb
