Philadelphia Rambler. From Photo Micch Reduced, 
Xm C^rimson Rambler Ko$e, 
PbilaaclpMa. 
WE are offering this sterling novelty for the first time this season. 
This new Crimson Rambler rose originated on the experiment grounds 
of the Rural New Yorker and is a cross between the _ well-known 
Crimson Rambler and the splendid deep crimson hardy rose, Victor Hugo. 
In rapidity of growth it rivals the Crimson Rambler and also surpasses it m 
beauty of foliage, which has so far proved with us practically mildew proot. 
The character of the bloom is, hoAvever, that which gives it its pre-eminence. 
They are larger than the old Crimson Rambler and full to the center and ot 
a deeper crimson color, and do not fade purplish as they mature. 
important feature is the earliness of blooming, being in full bloom before tne 
Crimson Rambler is showing color, giving it a special field of usefulness 01 1 s 
own. We predict for this rose a great future.
