New Roses for 1897. 
The New Climbing Rose, YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia). 
The Only Hardy Yellow Climbing Rose Yet Introduced. 
A Worthy Companion to the Wonderful Crimso.i Rambler. 
This rose, we are confident, is an even more valuable intro- 
duction than the Ciumson Rambler. It was originated by the 
prominent (T.'rinan rose-grower, Mr. Peter Lambert, who has 
carefully tested it for some eight years, and first oSfered it to the 
public only this last season. Its production is a very great 
triuniiih in the art of hybridizing. llosarians have for many 
years been crossing or hybridizing various roses with a view to 
obtaining a hardy yellow climbing rose, but the combination of 
climbing habil and yellow coloring with hardiness was one that it 
seemed impn.ssible to obtain. Repeated efforts were made to secure 
it, and the Yellow Rambleb represents the most comidete success 
over attained by any one. 
It has been found to successfully with-

stand, without protectior., 
two degiees below. 
It is similar to Crimson Rambler in foliage, habit of growth, and 
manner of blooming, and is undoubtedly of the same parentage. It 
is a vigorous grower, well established plants often making shoots 
from eight to ten feet in height in a single season. The flowers are 
borne in immense clusters after the same manner as Okimson 
Rambler, often as many as 150 blossoms in a bunch, and the 
trusses have the same handsome pyramidal shape as those of 
(Irimson Rambler. The flowers also have the same lasting quality, 
remaining in bloom three to four weeks without fading, a large bush 
iu full bloom forming one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. 
It differs from Crimson Rambler in color, the flowers of this va- 
riety Ijcing a clear, decided yellow. The blossoms which are of 
moderate size, cup-shaped, and of very pretty form, are very sweetly 
sceoted, making it superior to Crimson Rambler in this respect, the flowers of that variety not being fra- 
grant. The plants do not bloom at quite so early an age as Crimson Rambler, but make up for this as soon 
as well established, by the magnificence of the flowers they produce. 
Strong young plants, 2ii-incli pots, 3.5c. each, $3..50 per dozen. Extra strong plants, 3M-inch pots 50c 
each, $5.00 per dozen. 
The Yellow Clothilde Soupert, MOSELLA. 
A new Rose of exceptional merit, a fitting companion to those flue bedding varieties, Clothilde 
SouPEBTand Pink Soupert. Mosella is a beautiful light yellow, shading to a light buff in the centre, and 
creamy white towards the ends of the petals. Like the "Soupert," it is dwarf and bushy in habit, but is 
even more graceful. It blooms in clusters, full, double flowers of large size, and flowers most abundantly. 
With these valuable traits it cannot fail to become very popular. Price, 50c. each, $i.!iO per doz
