which made possible no end of delightful garden effects. Even restricted city gardens can often be made 
wonderfully beautiful by the free use of these new roses, and other vine-like plants, disposed about the 
fence-lines, over arbors, and by covering unsightly buildings, etc. The Rambler roses are by no means 
the only climbing roses of great beauty recently introduced. There are the many hybrids ot the Wichuriana 
rose and various others, all delightfully beautiful.

make it an assured favorite.
