28 cents postpaid. 
Hardy. Bloom Continuously. Will be a Source of Constant Pleasure. 
In ordering give simply the name of the Collection. 
If you want Roses that will give you absolute satisfaction from the day they are planted, we 
would urge that you plant these famous varieties. They bloom the first and every year from early 
May until severe freezing weather. We have seen them unfold perfect flowers even after a severe 
snow-storm. Of dwarf, stocky, uniform growth, they possess valuable qualities found in no other 
Roses. There are other Roses as good, but certainly none better. Be sure to try them. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT — The best Rose known for bedding or pot culture. Color a French white, 
deepening to a rosy-blush in the center, exceeding in distinctness of shadings the well-known 
Malmaison. Its greatest value lies in its compact, vigorous habit and wonderful profusion of 
bloom, even the smallest plants being literally covered with flowers. The form and substance of 
the flowers are so perfect that the hottest weather does not cause deterioration of either, so that 
even in mid-summer a bouquet of splendid buds and open flowers can be obtained from this fine 
variety. Too much cannot be said in praise of this Rose for bedding purposes. It deservedly earned 
its title of the “Premier Bedding Rose.'’ Valuable as it is for garden purposes, it is even more so 
for pot culture, and ranks first for blooming in the house. It is entirely exempt from the diseases 
usually affecting Roses in the house. 
MOSELLA (Yellow Soupert) — Fully as free blooming as Clothilde Soupert or Pink Soupert, and like 
them, a strong, dwarf, bushy grower. Flowers are very double and of the same Camellia-like form 
as Clothilde Soupert. Buds exceedingly dainty and attractive. The. color is white on beautiful 
light yellow ground, which becomes a chrome yellow in the center of the flower. Hardy, without 
protection as far north as Philadelphia with a mulch of leaves or straw it can be grown almost any- 
where that other roses succeed. 
PINK SOUPERT— A lovely everblooming rose, as beautiful as Clothilde Soupert, but deeper color; 
medium size flowers, perfectly full and double; blorms all the time; color, fine rose pink, but vari- 
able. The same bush frequently bears flowers of different colors at the same time; grows low and 
bushy and is quite hardy. 
When an entire collection is not desired, selection of any of the varieties offered in this collection 
may be made at the following rates: 10c each; three for 28c; six for 50c. 
The Famous “Baby” Rambler Rose. 
( Madame Norbert Levavasseur.) 
This is decidedly the greatest Rose novelty of recent years. It was first sent out under the name 
of MADAME NORBERT LEVAVASSEUR and is a cress between Crimson Rambler and Glory of Polyan- 
thus; retaining the color and extreme hardiness of the former with the exceedingly free flowering 
and dwarf habit of the latter. 
The descriptive name of this grand variety, DWARF CRIMSON RAMBLER, is very appropriate; 
for the plant is truly a dwarf grower, and the flowers have the same bright crimson color of the 
climbing Crimson Rambler, and the fame of the parent really belongs to it. 
It is a dwarf, erect-growing Rose, forming a bush about two feet high when fully grown, and 
is a true everbloomer, producing splendid clusters of beautiful rich crimson flowers during the whole 
growing season, when planted outdoors. 
The flowers are borne in elegant clusters; as many as 30 and 40 flowers to a cluster. 
Baby Rambler is a Superb Rose for Pot Culture. 
As a bedding variety none possess more points of genuine merit than the Baby Rambler. A 
single plant, grown in a pot, is a marvel in neatness, compactness and wonderfully profuse and a 
constant blooming quality. Indeed, they will never be without flowers if kept in a growing con- 
dition. As a pot plant for winterblooming, either in the conservatory or home, it is unequalled. 
Baby Rambler as a Bedding Rose is the most unique and valuable ever introduced. It will soon 
become just as popular and as extensively planted as the Climbing Rambler has been. As a bedder 
it makes a low, symmetrical, attractive, plant, for bordering walks or planting in cemeteries, where 
tall-growing varieties are objectionable. With Baby Rambler the brilliant effect of the bright crim- 
son flowers is presented during the entire growing season. 
Baby Rambler is perfectly hardy and requires no winter care. It will improve each year if 
given reasonable care. No garden, no matter how small or large, should be without it. All lovers 
of beautiful Roses will want it. There is no Rose in existance that equals it in freedom of bloom 
and perpetual blooming qualities. Planted in the open ground they will be constantly in bloom, 
even during the hottest weather. Price, 12 cts. each; two for 20 cts., postpaid.
