Crimson Pambler Tins i.s certainly the most wonderful climbing rose ever introduced 
•T »Vt"" i^iwi . an(j each year s experience with it only strengthens our confidence in 
It. It i.s absolutely hardy In all localities, a most vigorous grower, a most prolific bloomer, 
fme for growing on trellises, unexcelled for covering porches, walls, etc., admirable for pot 
culture tor Easterforcing, at all times when in bloom, producing a gorgeous mass of crim- 
son blossoms which remain on the plant a long time. The plant often grows from 12 to 15 feet in 
a single sea.uoii, coninu-nees to blossom in .Tunc, c<mtinuing throushout the sea.>;on. The flowers are deep 
crimson, iKirne in immense clusters which remain on the plant a long time. We have heard of several 
plants producing from 12,000 to 15,000 blossoms in a .■iingle season. As a pot plant for florist's use for 
Easter blooming it is particularly vahiabh!, as by careful training the plant forms a perfect ball, covered 
by immense trus.scs of bloom, which retain their color for weeks. But it is for the amateur for outdoor 
cultivation that it i.s e.^-^pecially desirable and those who have never grown it should not fail to secure it 
at once. If you have room in your yard for only one rose, that one should be a Crimson Rambler

This is a fit companion for so beautiful and valuable a rose as the Crim- 
son Rambler. It is perfectly hardy, more viftorous in growth, if pas- 
sible, than the Crimson, a profuse bloomer 
and succeeds well in any and all localities. 
The flowers are pure yellow, double, of 
good size, fragrant and borne in immense 
clusters like tlie Crimson, and last a long 
time without fading. This is the first and 
only double yellow hardy cUmbing rose 
ever introduced, and on this account is con- 
.sidered particularly valuable by rose grow- 
ers. Strong young plants lOc each;
