PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— PLANT DEPARTMENT. 



THE CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE. 



Plants from open ground ready October 20th. 

 This grand rose improves upon acquaintance. The better it is known Hie 

 more popular it becomes. It is of rapid, vigorous growth : plants in our grounds 

 attained a height of fifteen feet the past season. The flowers are produced in 

 trusses p3'ramidal 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 of bloom is marvelous, over three hundred blooms 



/taving been counted on one shoot. 



THE YELLOW RAMBLER; aglaja: 



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 3 to 4 weeks without fading. It is a very vigorous 

 gTower, making shoots 8 to 10 ft. in one season when well established. 



THE WHITE RAMBLER. tHalia: 



This variety bears clusters of pure white flowers, which are deli- 

 ciously 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 per- 

 fectly 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, e uphrosyne. 



This beautiful variety is fit to rank with the two above 

 mentioned. It is from the same source as the White Ram- 

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

 profusion of flowers and blooming qualities. 



Price for the four "Ramblers" above, plants from the field 

 ready Oct. 20th, 30c. each, S3. 00 per doz. ; plants from 4-inch 

 pots, now ready, 25c. each, S2.50 per doz. 



SPECIAL.— The four "Ramblers," SI. 00; young plants, 35c 



NOTE. — The Crimson Rambler is undoubtedly superior to the others. 

 but they are very useful climbing roses. 



THE MEMORIAL ROSE. Rosa wichuraiana. 



The grandest plant for cemetery decoration in existence. It grows flat 

 on the ground, like an ivy, and blooms in grand abundance throughout 

 July and intermittingly the balance of the season, pure white, sweetly 

 fragrant flowers, with a golden yellow disc. It is perfectly hardy, and 

 if planted this fall should bloom next season. Price, strong plants from 

 open ground, 30c. each, S3. 00 per doz. Ready Oct. 20th.
