TTbe Mrrr — 
Crimson Rambler Rose 
Philadelphia- 
THIS sterling novelty originated on the experiment grounds of the Rural Nezv 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 in beauty of foliage, and has so far proved with us practically mildew 
proof. The character of the bloom is, however, that which gives it its pre-emmence. They 
are larger than the old Crimson Rambler and full to the center and of a deeper crimson 
color, and do not fade purplish as they mature. Another important feature is the earlmess 
of blooming, being in full bloom before the Crimson Rambler is showing color, giving it a 
special field of usefulness of its own. We predict for this rose a great future.
