Five Royal Rambler Roses. 
One of Each, All Different, for 50 cents postpaid. 
All are perfectly hardy and unequaled for porch ornamentation. 
AGLAIA (Yellow Rambler)— The Yellow Rambler hag been found to successfully withstand, without 
protection, a continued temperature of from zero to two degrees below. The flowers are borne 
in clusters, after the same manner as the Crimson Rambler, and are a bright lemon -yellow, chang- 
ing to creamy white. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER— This wonderful climbing Rose, introduced some years ago, has made a record 
for itself unequaled by any other Rose. Every season it gains in popularity and it appears des- 
tined to remain at the head of the list of hardy climbing Roses. It is a vigorous grower, making 
shoots 10 to 20 feet in height in a single season, and when in bloom commands admiration by the 
gorgeous display of its crimson clusters of blossoms, each cluster a bouquet in itself. Upwards of 
15.C00 blossoms have been produced by a single plant. This marvelous prodigality is not unusual 
with it, as it succeeds everywhere. The blooms remain on the plant for a great length of time 
without losing their brightness; the foliage is also retained, to a great extent, during the winter, 
making the plant almost evergreen. It is perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. 
HELENE— Buds, a beautiful crimson, turning to soft violet-rose, with base of petals yellowish white 
as flower opens. Strongly resembles the Crimson Rambler, blooming in immense clusters, which 
carry from 40 to 60 individual blossoms. 
PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER— Pure deep crimson. Far brighter, more intense than the old Crimson 
Rambler, which has heretofore been the standard for brilliant color; does not fade, bleach or wash 
out but holds its color to the last. Undoubtedly the brightest and best of all hardy crimson climb- 
ing roses. Blooms two weeks earlier than the Crimson Rambler. Flowers 2V6 inches across and 
perfectly double, borne in large clusters, completely covering the bush. 
THALIA (White Rambler)— 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 de- 
lightful fragrance and of an immaculate white. 
When an entire collection is not desired, selection of any of the varieties offered in this collection may be made 
at the following rates: 10 cts. each, three for 28 cts. 
BABY RAMBLER — Crimson, (Mme. Norbert Levavasseur.) Price, 12 cts. each, postage paid. 
BABY DOROTHY— (Maman Levavasseur.) This is a beautiful companion rose to the crimson Baby 
Rambler. It was originated by the same grower and is just as vigorous and free blooming. 
Practically the only difference is in the colors of the flowers which are a very bright and pleasing 
rose-pink. It is much the color of thatcharming climbing rose, Dorothy Perkins, hence the appro- 
priateness of the name, “Baby Dorothy.” It is perfectly hardy and blooms without cessation from 
early spring until late in the fall. As a pink bedding rose it has no equal. We have counted as 
many as 100 blooms to the cluster on three year old plants. Price , 15 cts. each, postage paid. 
WHITE BABY RAMBLER (true)— There are two other white polyantha roses which have been sold by 
some houses as White Baby Ramblers. They are good roses in their way but we think them 
hardly entitled to the name for the reason that they differ from the original Baby Rambler (crim- 
son) in habit of growth and manner of blooming. To our idea, no rose should be dubbed a Baby 
Rambler” unless it has the peculiar dwarf, compact growth and wonderful profusion of bloom 
which earned the first Baby Rambler its name. Our White Baby Rambler came from a prominent 
German rosariar. and has identically the same habit of growth and freedom of bloom as the other 
two “Baby” roses. Price, 15 cts. each, postage paid.
