THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE NOVELTY SINCE 

 CRIMSON RAMBLER. 



In its foliage, growth and habit of blooming in immense 

 clusters it is remarkably like Crimson Rambler, but the 

 flowers are more double and of a beautiful shell-pink 

 color. It is of remarkable vigor, making a growth of ten 

 to fifteen feet in a single season. In the important point 

 of hardinessnothmg morecould bedesired, two unusually- 

 severe winters having failed to injure even young plants, 

 although the temperature went as low as twenty degrees 

 below zero. The Flowers are very double, are of large 

 size for this class of Rose, usually two inches across; are 

 borne in loose clusters of from thirty to forty, and we 

 have often counted even fifty and sixty in a truss. The 

 petals are very prettily rolled back and crinkled ; the buds 

 are remarkably handsome, being pointed in shape and of 

 just right size for the button-hole. The Color is a most 

 beautiful clear shell-pink and holds a long time without 

 fading ; even after the flower commences to fade the color 

 is still pleasing, being then a lovely deep rose. The flow- 

 ers are very sweetly scented, a characteristic not pos- 

 sessed by most other roses of the Rambler family.

CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT. 



For years Clotilde Soupert has stood out as one of the 

 greatest Roses in cultivation. Climbing Clotilde Soupert 

 has the same vigorous constitution as its parent, com- 

 bined with its truly wonderful freedom of bloom and its 

 extreme hardiness. In a single season small plants will 

 grow fifteen to twenty-five feet, producing cluster after 

 clusterof thefinestformedflowers. They are distinct, large, 

 round, full and double, with beautifully imbricated petals, 

 and deliciously sweet. The color effect is magnificent- 

 ivory white, shading towards the center to silvery rose. 

 Cluster after clusterof flowers are produced throughout 

 the entire growing season, and the bush at all times is 

 literally loaded down with them. It needs no protection, 

 having withstood a temperature of twenty degrees below 

 zero in the open ground without protection.

HELEN GOULD, The Sensational Rose* 



This is probably the most beautiful and satisfactory 

 Rose for general planting ever introduced in America. 

 It has proved itself to be the strongest-growing, freest-blooming, largest-flowering and hardiest Rose in existence. 

 It is a better Rose for general planting than American Beauty — the dream and hope of every Rose grower for years 

 4)ast. The flowers are full and perfectly double, the buds beautifully made, long and pointed. The color is a warm, 

 rosy-crimson, like the color of a ripe, red watermelon. It is as hardy as La France. I guarantee my plants to be 

 the true variety. It is a very easy Rose to get along with ; anybody can grow it, and you can't keep it from blooming-, 

 Be sure and plant this grand Rose. Perfectly hardy, can be left out over winter. 30c. each ; 3 for 50c.
