THE RAMBLER ROSES 
CRIMSON RAMBLER Tliis is cortninly the most womlerful climliinK rose ever intro- 
<iuce(i. and each year's experience with it only stren;ithens <mr contidenee in it. It is ab- 
solutely hardy In all localities, a most vigorous grower, a most prolific bloomer, 
fine for growing on trellises, unexcelled for covering porches, walls, etc.; admir- 
able for pot culture for Easter forcing, at all times when in bloom, producing a 
gorgeous mass of crimson blossoms which remain on the plant a longtime. The 
plant often srows from 15 to 1.T feet in a single season, eommeiiein;; to blossom in June, 
continuing; throughout the season. The flowers are deep crimson, borne in immense clust- 
ers, which remain on the plant a long time. 
DOROTHY PERKINS (New Pink Rambler Rose) Asoodone, As hardy as Crimson 
Rambler and same habit of fri'owtli. Flowers about IH inches acro.ss. l)orne in clusters of 
10 to ."io. and very dout>Ic; petals are ver>' prettily rolled back and crinkled. Color is a 
most beautiful shell pink and holds a lonff lime without fading. 
PHILADELPHIA CRIMSON RAMBLER This variety is a cross between Crimson 
Rambler and the hybrid rose Victor Hugo, and is irientical in all respects to the Crimson 
Rambler, except the color is brighter, deeper, and more intense. Second, the flowers are 
perfectly double to the center, last longer in bloom and come into flower about 10 days 
after the Crimson Hamblcr.

Crimson Rambler. The color is a decided yellow,
