EVER-BLOOMING TEA ROSES. 



21 



The White Rambler. {Thalia). Of same habit as 



— -^ — — — above ; only the color of flower 

 is pure white and the trusses still greater in size, and like 

 its sister variety, Crimson Rambler, of strong heavy habit 

 of growth. Surely there is a place for White Rambler 

 wherever beautiful Roses are loved. See complete descrip- 

 tion and illustrated page. 20 - cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; #1.50 

 per dozen ; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. 



The YellOW Rambler. (Alalia). Yellow Rambler is 



— one of the greatest triumphs yet 



seen in scientific hybridization. It is the first really hardy 

 yellow Climbing Rose, and as such is a valuable addition 

 to the climbing class. The flowers are pure golden yellow, 

 and are borne in immense clusters like Crimson Rambler. 

 For complete description and illustration, see page 28. 15 

 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. ; 9 for $1.00; two-year-old plants, 

 35 cts. each. 



Fair Rosamond. ^ beautiful climbing Rose for pillars, 

 trellises, etc. Large full flowers. Color 



flesh, shaded and mottled with rosy pink, distinct in every 

 way. 25 cts. each. 



Max Singer. This Rose is comparatively new, and is not 

 offered by any one in this country. It is 



altogether a remarkable variety. It is a strong, healthy 



climber, with foliage resembling the hardiest Hybrid Per- 

 petual. It is large and heavy, of splendid texture. The 

 flowers are produced very freely, are of medium size and 

 color. is light red. It is hardy with moderate protection. A 

 splendid companion to Climbing White Pet. We predict 

 that this will become a popular variety when it becomes 

 known. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00 ; two-year- 

 old plants, 35 cts. each. 



Ayrshire Rose— Dundee Rambler. This is not a new 



Rose, but is very 



rare. It is a running Rose, similar in growth to the new 

 climbing Polyantha Roses, White, Pink and Yellow Ram- 

 blers, being rather slender in growth, and an exceedingly 

 rapid climber. For planting in rough situations where 

 others will not thrive, for covering banks, or for running 

 up old trees or pillars, this variety is excellent. It is also 

 good when used as a Weeping Rose — in short, this variety 

 is perhaps unexcelled for general purposes. There are 

 several varieties included in the Ayrshire class, but this is 

 the best. The flowers are very pretty, being white in color 

 and semi-double. We recommend this variety as being 

 particularly desirable. Young plants quickly make a large 

 bush, growing 15 to 20 feet in one season. Perfectly hardy 

 in all sections. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00.

 particular, save its climbing habit of growth. Beautiful

better for its continuity of blooming, being especially valu- 

 able in Autumn when no other varieties are in bloom. This

 centre; flowers are large, perfectly double and deliciously 

 fragrant; hardy with protection. 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 

 cts.; 5 for $1.00.

 every respect, save color, with its famous parent. Grows 

 10 to 15 feet in a single season, and produces its beautiful 

 flowers in great abundance. Hardy with protection. See 

 page 22 for further description and illustration. 20 cts.

 cts. each. 

 Climbing SOUV. De Wooton. A grand new acquis i- 



— twn. This splendid 



new variety, offered last year for the first time, is a sport 

 from that famous Rose, Souv. de Wooton, and is identical 

 with it except that it is a strong, rampant climber, growing 

 in one season to a height of 10 to 15 feet, and producing 

 in wonderful profusion its superbly formed flowers, which 

 are bright, magenta red, passing to violet crimson, richly 

 shaded. The flowers are large, full and regular, with thick 

 leathery petals, and deliciously tea-scented; makes beauti- 

 ful buds. As an outdoor climbing Rose, it will take front 

 rank, because of its strong growth and freedom of bloom. 

 A well-developed bush, covered with finely formed flowers, 



is beautiful beyond anything we have ever seen. Truly 

 this is a magnificent and valuable new Rose. See page 47 

 for color-plate illustration. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 

 for $1.00 ; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each.

 cts.; 9 for $1.00; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each.

 copper ; buds coppery carmine. Flowers large and well 

 made. 30 cts. each ; 4 for $1.00. 



This new variety is a climbing Tea with 

 marked value. It is a strong, rampant 

 grower, quickly making a bush of splendid proportions. 

 It blooms with the greatest freedom, having good-sized 

 orange-yellow flowers, that shade darker towards the centre. 

 An exceedingly fine Rose of much merit. 20 cts. each. 



Southern Beauty. ™ s f rar l d " ew c] ™ hi ?B var ! et > r 



— offered only by us. We know of no 



better recommendation we can give it than to say it is the 

 equal of that superb variety, Gloire de Dijon ; indeed there 

 is a striking resemblance between them in growth and 

 manner of blooming. The flowers are entirely different; 

 they are large, perfectly double, and in bud cannot be sur- 

 passed; they are sweetly fragrant, and in color rich and 

 distinct — pale amber passing to a shiny salmon. Southern 

 Beauty is a rapid climber and a remarkably free bloomer 

 for a Rose of such great beauty, and we think will prove 

 hardy everywhere with good protection. It should be a 

 magnificent variety in the South, where it will equal Mare- 

 chal Niel or Gloire de Dijon in every way. This is a lovely 

 Rose, and we ask our customers to try it. 25 cts. each ; 3 

 for 60 cts.; 5 for $1.00.
