PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK. — WHOLESALE LIST OE PLANTS. 



THE CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE. 



Plants from Open Ground Ready October 20th. 



This grand rose improves upon acquaintance. The better it is known the more popular it 

 becomes. It is of rapid, vigorous growth; plants in our grounds attained a height o£ fifteen 

 feet the past season. The flowers are produced in trusses pyramidal in shape, good specimens 

 measuring nine inches from base to tip and seven inches across, fairly covering the plant 

 from the ground to the top, so that it is one mass of glowing crimson. The color is superb, and 

 remains strong and vivid to the end; plants in our grounds retained the bloom for two 

 months. The profusion of bloom is marvelous, over three hundred blooms having been 

 counted on one shoot. 



THE YELLOW RAMBLER, aglaia. 



It is perfectly double, very fragrant, entirely hardy, having withstood, unprotected, a pro- 

 longed temperature of from zero to two degrees below. It is related to the Crimson Rambler, 

 and, like it, blooms in large trusses. The flowers last three to four weeks without fading. It 

 is a very vigorous grower, making shoots 8 to io feet in one season when well established. 



THE WHITE RAMBLER, thalia. 



This variety bears clusters of pure white flowers, which are deliciously fragrant. The 

 flowers remain on the plant a long time— from three to five weeks— and keep a long time 

 when cut. The plant is perfectly hardy, equal in this respect to the Crimson Rambler, and 

 where one is planted the other should be also. By growing this in a pot and 

 training it to a pyramidal trellis, a fine plant may be had in bloom for Easter. 



THE PINK RAMBLER, euphrosyne. 



This beautiful variety is fit to rank with the two above mentioned. It is from 

 the same source as the White Rambler, fully the equal of both in hardiness, 

 vigor, size and profusion of flowers and blooming qualities. 



Prices for the four "Ramblers" above, plants from the field ready October 20th, 

 $2.00 per doz. , $15.00 per ico; plants from 4-inch pots, now ready, $2 00 per doz., 

 $15.00 per 100.

NOTE. — The Crimson Rambler is undoubtedly superior to the others, but they are very 

 useful climbing roses. 



THE MEMORIAL ROSE, rosa wichuraiana. 



The grandest plant for cemetery decoration in existence. It grows flat on the ground, like 

 an ivy, and blooms in grand abundance throughout July and intermittingly the balance of the 

 season, pure white, sweetly fragrant flowers, with a golden yellow disc. It is perfectly hardy, 

 and if planted this fall should bloom next season. Price, strong plants from open ground, 

 $2.00 per doz., $1 2. co per 100. Ready October 20th.
