BABY RAMBLER EVER-BLOOMING ROSE 



From a True Photograph 



BABY RAMBLER ROSE (Mme. Levavasseur) 



i The discovery of the Baby Rambler Rose has 



created a sensation among all who enjoy the 

 beauty of the queen of flowers — the rose. It 

 j originated' at Ussy, France, and is a sport of the 

 I Crimson Rambler, color rosy red. It is strictly a 

 bush rose of thrifty growth and blooms profusely 

 ' during the entire summer, from June until late 

 in the fall. It is the only rose in cultivation that 

 \ blooms all summer, bearing large clusters of 

 beautiful, rosy red flowers, often as many as fifty 

 \ or more flowers on one single stem from young- 

 shoots. It is the most prolific bearer of any rose 

 ■ grown. For indoor or window gardening it gives 

 I entire satisfaction, and under favorable conditions 

 will bloom all winter. It may be taken up out of the 

 garden in the fall for winter blooming, after the 

 wood has ripened up, and transplanted into large 

 j pots for window gardening; or it may be used 

 i for winter blooming and again transplanted out 

 I in the garden in the spring. In either case, after 

 ( transplanting, the branches should be cut back to 

 short stubs 3 or 4 inches long. They thrive best 

 in very rich soil. Cutting back all the wood to 

 short stubs 4 or 5 in. long each spring is abso- 

 lutely necessary to insure heavy blooming. 

 White Baby Rambler Rose (Madam Zeimet. 

 New) — Similar in every respect to Baby 

 Rambler except the color, which is pure white. 



For bedding purposes the two make a splendid 

 combination. Perfectly hardy; however we 

 recommend some protection by covering with 



■ leaves during winter. This valuable new rose 

 furnished a continuous crop of flowers the 

 entire summer. 



Crimson Baby Rambler — A compact bush about 

 2 feet high, with broad clusters of crimson flow- 

 ers like those of the Crimson Rambler. One of 

 the finest bedding roses ever nitroduced. 



A BLUE ROSE 



The long-looked for novelty an accomplished 

 fact. 



Veilchenblau (Violet Blue) — The new rambler, 

 "Veilchenblau" (Violet Blue), which is hailed 

 by the German rose growers as the forerunner 

 of a genuinely cornflower blue rose, is a seed- 

 ling of Crimson Rambler. The blossoms, 

 massed in large umbels, are semi-double, of 

 medium size. The color, on first unfolding, is 

 either reddish pink or purplish pink, then turns 

 amethyst, and finally steel blue as the flower 

 fades. The general color impression is that of 

 the March violet. The yellow stamens appear 

 in sharp contrast to the blue petals. The plant 

 is vigorous in growth, with shining green 

 foliage and few but sharp thorns. So far it has 

 not suffered from mildew and is considered one 

 of the most hardy ramblers. 



CLIMBING ROSES 



Among these beautiful climbing plants, the 

 Ramblers rank first. The perfect hardiness of 

 this class of roses, their strong growth and lux- 

 uriant foliage, adapt them for covering arbors, 

 walls, trellises and unsightly objects; which to- 

 gether with their immense clusters of beautiful 

 flowers commend them to all lovers of the beauti- 

 ful. The pruning consists of cutting back one- 

 third of the previous year's growth. 

 Baltimore Belle — Pale white; verj"- double, flowers 



in beautiful clusters; one of the best white 



climbers. 



Gem of the Prairies — A valuable Hybrid. Is a 

 cross between Mad. Laflay and Queen of the 

 Prairies; bright red, blotched with white; large, 

 very double and fragrant. 



Seven Sisters — Vary in color from blush to crim- 

 son; blooms in large clusters. 



Queen of the Prairies — Bright, rosy red, striped 

 with white; large and cupped; most beautiful 

 and valuable of the class. 



Russell's Cottage — Rich crimson, medium size; 

 very double and full; blooms abundantly. 



Crimson Rambler — This is the most decided nov- 

 elty in roses we have had for years. Intro- 

 duced from Japan in 1893, it has been a source 

 of wonder and admiration wherever exhibited. 

 The plant is a vigorous grower, making shoots 

 from eight to ten feet long in a season. A 

 charming pillar rose; for covering trellises or 

 buildings there is nothing finer. The flowers 

 are grown in great pyramidal panicles, each 

 carrying thirty to one hundred blooms and over, 

 the individual flowers are one to one and one- 

 half inches in diameter and remain in perfect 

 condition for a long time. The color is bright, 

 vivid crimson, showing none of the purplish tint 

 so commonly seen in crimson roses. 



Ever-blooming Climbing Crimson Rambler Rose 



(New. Flower of Fairfield) — The latest tri- 

 umph in rose production. A scientific wonder 

 in the art of hybridization. The only ever- 

 blooming climbing rose in cultivation. Simi- 

 lar in color, hardiness and thriftiness to Crim- 

 son Rambler, and produces a continuous crop 

 of roses in large clusters during the entire 

 summer season from July till frost. This won- 

 derful acquisition is now offered by us for the 

 first time. Our stock comes direct from the 

 originator in Europe. 



Tausendschoen — New, from Germany. The most 

 prolific bloomer of any rose yet introduced; 

 bears in heavy clusters like Crimson Rambler, 

 flowers larger and fragrant, color pink, very 

 hardy and rapid grower. Winner of German 

 Horticultural Prize.
