VAUGHAN'S BOOK FOR FLORISTS— CHICAGO AND NEW YORK 



NEW ROSE, BABY RAMBLER 



The Everblooming Dwarf Crimson Rambler 



This new Rose which was sent out under the name of Mme. Nobert Levavasseur, 

 is a cross between Crimson Rambler and Glory Polyanthas. retaining the color of the 

 former with the exceedintjly free-flowering habit of the latter, as well as its dwarf 

 growth. The plants are very vigorous, grow to a height of about 24inclies. The toliau'c 

 is dark, glossy, profuse and remarkably free from insects and fungus. The flnw , i s .u c 

 borne in clusters. 30, 40 and 50 flowers to a cluster. They are in every way jusi like 

 those of the Climbing.Crimson Rambler, and are produced perpetually. Wc 

 closely watched this new Rose in our greenhouses since November. 1103 and they have 

 never been without flowers from that time until tlje present day. We had a large bed 

 in our grounds at Western Springs, and there the plants were constantly in bloom 

 until November, even in the hottest weather. This is a remarkable record. We have 

 grown thousands of varieties of Roses, but have never before met one that possessed 

 all these remarkable qualities Icombined. As a florist pot Rose it is of greater valut; 

 than the Crimson Rambler. The grower will be able to handle Mad. Levavasseur 

 from December until July. If the plant is not sold with the tirst crop of flowers, cut 

 them off and wait a few weeks and you will have another crop of flowers. It is also a 

 Rose for bedding out. No garden, no matter how small or large, should be without it. 

 There is no Rose that equals it in freedom of bloom and perpetual blooming qualities.
