 ever introduced and each year's experience with it onl3' strengthen.*; 

 our confidence in it. It is absolutely hardy in all localities, a most 

 vigorous grower, a most prolific bloomer, fine for growing on trellises, un= 

 excelled for covering porches, walls, etc., admirable for pot culture for Easter 

 forcing, at all times when in bloom, producing a gorgeous mass of crimson 

 blossoms which remain on the plant a long time. The plant often grows from 

 12 to 15 feet in a s'-ngle season, commences to blossom in June, continuing 

 throughout the season. The flowers are deep crimson, borne in immense 

 clusters which remain on the plant a long time. Strong 2=year=old plants 

 3SC each, postpaid, or $3.00 per dozen by express. 



YELLOW RAMBLER— This is a fit companion for so beautiful and valuable 

 a i-ose as the Crimson Rambler. It is perfectly hardy, more vigorous in 

 growth, if possible, than the Crimson, a profuse bloomer and succeeds well 

 in any and all localities. The flowers are pure yellow, doitble, of good size, 

 fragrant and borne in immense clusters like the Crimson, and last a long 

 time without fading. Strong 2=year=oId plants 35c each postpaid, or $3.00

 clusters and remain on the plant a long time. It closely resembles Crimson 

 Rambler in every particular save color. Strong 2=year=oId plants 350 each, 

 postpaid, $3.00 per dozen by express. 



THE THREE RAMBLERS above described form a worthy 

 trio fit to adorn the palace of a king or to beautify the humble 

 cottage of the poor. Nothing 

 can surpass them in beauty, 

 the three colors contrasting 

 beautifully and forming a perfect 

 bower of loveliness. Three strong 

 2=year=old plants, i of each, for 

 $1.00, postpaid. 



DOROTHY PERKINS— (SeeCut.) This 

 grand new rambler variety bids fair .^'^ 

 to rival the weU known Crimson 

 Rambler when it becomes gen- 

 erally disseminated. It is said to 

 be as hardy as the Crimson, 

 blooms as freely and surpasses 

 the former in size, form and 

 beauty of bloom. The blossoms, 

 which are borne in immense 

 clusters of from 20 to 30 

 are about 1% Inches in 

 diameter, perfectly double, the 

 petals prettily rolled back 

 and crinkled, of a beautiful 

 shell pink color, which holds 

 a long time without fading. 

 As a florists forcing plant 

 for Easter it is bound to 

 become most popular. Strong 2 

 year old plants. 50c each.
