NEW WHITE RAMBLER. 
Thalia. This charming new rose of the Rambler variety is a wonder. It 
climbs rapidly, is entirely hardy, produces immense clusters of pure white 
roses, perfectly double, of delightful fragrance, and of an immaculate white. 
NEW YELLOW RAMBLER. 
Aglala. The Yellow Rambler has been found to successfully withstand, 
without protection, a continued temperature of from zero to two degrees be- 
low, which proves it to be far hardier than any other yellow climbing rose 
yet introduced, and we believe that by laying the plants down in the winter 
it can be successfully grown in nearly all the northern parts of the U. S. 
The flowers are borne in immense clusters, after the same manner as the 
Crimson Rambler.

A SPLENDID NEW 
CLIMBING ROSE. 
THE MOST VALUA- 
BLE ROSE NOVELTY 
SINCE CRIMSON RAM- 
BLER. 
Price, each 20c.; 3 for 
50c.; postpaid. 
In its foliage, growth and 
habit of blooming in im- 
mense clusters it is remark- 
able like Crimson Rambler 
but the flowers are more 
double and of a beautiful 
shell-pink color. This val- 
uable variety is of carefully 
planned origination, having 
been grown from seed of 
Rosa Wichuriana crossed 
with pollen from that fine 
old rose, Mme. Gabriel 
Luizet. It is of quite up- 
right habit of growth but 
retains the remarkable vigor of the seed parent, making a growth of ten to- 
fifteen feet often in a single season. In the important point of hardiness 
nothing more could be desired, two unusually severe winters having failed 
to injure even young plants, although during one of them the temperature 
went as low as twenty degrees below zero and there was not the usual snow- 
fall to protect them. The flowers are very double, are of large size for this 
class of Rose, usually two inches across; are borne in loose clusters of from 
thirty to forty and we have often counted even fifty and sixty In a truss. 
The petals are very prettily rolled back and crinkled ; the buds are remark- 
ably handsome, being pointed in shape and of just right size for the button- 
hole. 
XXX Plants too heavy to mail. 2 yr. old 2% to 4 feet, grown 
out of doors one year, of many kinds offered above at 35c. to 
50c. each.

Everything: you ever sent me has been of desired quality and in prime condition. 
Would say in particular the Pear trees sent in April, '99, wore especially fine, and everyone 
lived, notwithstanding the severe drouth. Your house was the only place I could find this- 
variety. GEO. B. WRKiHT, Middlesex Co., Mass.
