THE RAHBLER ROSES. 



Since the introduction of Crimson Rambler in 1894 this 

 class of Roses has continued to gain in popularity. Many 

 desirable varieties have been added, and they now al- 

 most take the place of all other climbing sorts, for many 

 of which, however, there should still be a place in the 

 garden and which would be missed if discarded. 



All of the Rambler class are of strong, vigorous 

 growth, making shoots 10 to 20 feet long in one season, 

 and when in flower are a gorgeous sight. 



New Single Rambler Rose, HIAWATHA. 



There is no other Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appre- 

 ciated. Its flowers are about 1J inches across, and produced in long, pendulous 

 sprays, with frequently from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In color it is bril- 

 liant, ruby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of golden stamens — a 

 glowing combination of colors, which can be seen at a great distance, and which 

 does not tire the eye as do masses of Crimson Rambler. The plant is of strong, 

 vigorous growth, with bright green, glossy foliage, which is retained until late 

 in fall. When once 

 known Hiawatha will 

 become one of the fa- 

 vorite climbing Roses.

New Rambler Rose,TAHSENDSCHON 



This is an entirely distinct break, not only in Ramblers but in climb- 

 ing Roses generally. The individual flowers are very large for this type 

 of Rose, being fully 3 inches across and of a most elegant and graceful 

 form, not stiff or unnatural, but as beautiful as a semi-double Azalea. 

 In color it is a most delightful shade of soft pink when first opening. 

 changing to carmine on the reverse of petals when fully expanded. '1 In :se 

 are produced in trusses of from 10 to 15 flowers, each truss a veritable 

 bouquet. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, frequently making 

 shoots lOto 12 feel long, with gloss] green foliage, which is not subject 

 to mildew or disease of any kind. (See cut. ) Extra strong two sear- 

 old plants, 50 CtS. each; $5.00 per doz.

Lady Gay. A most desirable new variet) of remarkable, vigorous

 age is indeed (harming. Strong two year old plants. -10 ctS. each;
