New Polyantha Rose-CRIM50N RAMBLER. 



"Undoubtedly tie Sensation of the Year. No New Rose Has Ever Created Such an Excitement." 



I am pleased fo be able to offer my friends and customers this new Rose, possessing as it does, more good qualities than any variety ever in- 

 troduced. It is of vigorous growth, making shoots from 8 to 10 feet in height during a season; and is consequently, a most desirable climbing va- 

 riety. When pegged down or grown as a bush, marvellous heads of bloom are the result. It is exceedingly hardy. As a pot-plant it is unequaled 

 for decorative purposes. The flowers with which the plant is covered in the spring are produced in large trusses of pyramidal form and of the 

 brightest crimson color. The blooms remain on the plant for a great length of time without losing their brightness. The foliage is also retained 

 to a great extent during the winter, making the plant almost an evergreen. 



Mr. G. TVythes, in The Garden, July Mth, 1894, has this to say of Crimson Rambler. "At this date (July 6th], this is a grand rose, I have a 

 dozen plants on prepared land; did not prune much, merely shortened back, staked to support long growths, gave liberal mulch, and the clusters 

 of bright crimson flowers at this date are beautiful. On one shoot alone Icounted over 300 bloo7ns. For grouping or massing it will be splendid, its 

 brilliant color being just what is wanted, whilst for a wall or building it will be grand, not only on account of its rich crimson color, but ;;iso for 

 its freedom of growth and continuous blooming qualities. The flowers resembling a well-grown Pelargonium, have a charming effect, and will be 

 used largely for table decoration. It should also make a grand hedge plant. 7 ' At an enormous expense I have secured from the introducer, Mr. 

 Turner, of England, a fine lot of stock plants of the Crimson Rambler, and will have by March 1st, 1895, a sufficient number of feood strong plants 

 ready to meet all demands. All orders received prior to this date will be booked and filled in rotation, and if you wish to be sure of securing a 

 few plants— would advise early orders, for at the extremely low prices at which I offer them, the demand is almost certain to exceed the supply. 



Good strong plants, 30 cents each, 4 for $1.00, postpaid.
