THE BAY STATE NURSERIES, NORTH ABINGTON, MASS. 
HARDY CLIMBING ROSES— Continued 
Farquhar. A magnificent climbing Rose, very vigor- 
ous and covered with a glossy, bright green foliage 
which does not drop, and retains its luster until 
injured by severe frosts. This Rose was raised by 
the late Mr. Jackson Dawson of the Arnold Arbor- 
etum, and highly recommended by him, which of 
itself is a guarantee of its worth. It is a worthy 
companion of the Crimson Rambler, with beauti- 
ful clusters of double, pink flowers. 50c. 
Hiawatha. Glowing ruby-crimson, single flowers, 
with petals shading to pure white at the base. 
This delightful new Rambler has evoked much 
favorable comment. 50c. 
Lady Gay. The flowers — in large, loose clusters — 
are of a delicate cherry-pink color, fading to soft 
tinted-white. The effect of a plant in full bloom, 
with the combination of soft white flowers, cherry- 
pink buds, and deep green foliage, is indeed charm- 
ing. It is perfectly hardy. 50c. 
Pink Rambler (Euphrosyne) . Possesses the same 
valuable features found in the White Rambler, 
from which it differs only in color of flower, which 
is a brilliant light carmine. 50c. 
Queen of Prairie. Bright rose-color; large, compact 
and globular; a very profuse bloomer. One of the 
best. Foliage large and quite deeply serrated, 40c. 
Tausendschon. A German introduction which comes 
to us very highly recommended, making growths 
in a season of over ten feet, which are almost de- 
void of thorns. It bears its flowers in immense 
clusters; in color a soft pink when first opening, 
changing to a carmine-rose on the reverse as they 
fully expand. 60c. 
White Rambler (Thalia). Flowers are the size of a 
silver quarter, perfectly filled, very fragrant; color 
pure white, sometimes tinged with blush. Blooms 
in clusters. 50c. 
Yellow Rambler (Aglaia). Flowers medium size, 
cup-shaped, nearly full, sweet-scented; blooms in 
large clusters; color very light yellow. Of the 
class and habit of the famous Crimson Rambler. 
50c. 
Hybrid Wlchuraiana Evergreen Gem
