The Famous 

 Rambler Roses 



OF GENERAL AND INCREASING 

 POPULARITY EVERYWHERE 



This great family of Climbing Roses has 

 become so well and so favorably known 

 that we do not consider extended descrip- 

 tion necessary. Crimson Rambler Rose and 

 its offspring,' Philadelphia, Dorothy Per- 

 kins, etc., are absolutely necessary- in the 

 modem Rose garden. All these Rambler 

 Roses are hardy throughout the countr\% 

 and, once plarited, they become practi- 

 cally permanent.

 each, any 4 for 50 cts., $1 for 9. Larger 

 size, 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3. Two-
