DOROTHY PERKINS — Continued. 
sl ill pleasing, being a lovely deep rose. The flowers 
are very sweetly scented, a characteristic not pos- 
sessed by most other roses of the Rambler family. 
In vigor and habit of growth the "Dorothy Perkins” 
is identical with the Crimson Rambler. A number 
of florists who have seen the "Dorothy Perkins” be- 
lieve it will be a great acquisition for forcing and 
decorative purposes. A bed of "Dorothy Perkins” 
roses which was exhibited at the Pan-American at- 
tracted an immense amount of attention, although the 
plants were young stock which had been propagated 
only some eighteen months previous. Mr. Wm, Scott, 
the Assistant Superintendent of Horticulture, expressed 
in the “Florists’ Review” the following unsolicited 
opinion regarding the variety: "sent us 
last year some plants of their new Rambler Rose, 
‘Dorothy Perkins.’ This has exactly the habits of the 
well-known Crimson Rambler. They have flowered 
splendidly and have been very brilliant. This seems 
to be a great acquisition, and I believe it to be a 
good forcing rose. The individual flower is larger than 
the Crimson Rambler, with not such heavy trusses, hut 
it is a beautiful shell-pink in color.”

One of each, all differ 
Rose growers everywhere will hail with delight the 
announcement that we have to offer them as companions 
to the famous Crimson Rambler four other distinct col- 
ors of Rambler Roses. They are all hardy, and the 
mest charming of all Climbing Roses. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. — The most popular rose in 
cultivation. An exceedingly vigorous, rapid grower, 
making shoots 10 to 20 feet in height in one season. 
When pegged down or grown as a bush it is equally 
desirable, producing in marvelous profusion large trusses 
of flowers pyramidal in form, and In color a rich 
glowing crimson. When in full bloom it is a vivid crim- 
son mass of beauty. In Japan, its native home, it is 
known as the "Cherry Rose,” so bright are its flowers. 
Superb as a pot plant it has become the fashionable 
holiday plant in all large cities, where it Is sold at $5 
and $10 each. Perfectly hardy. No yard or garden 
Should be without a Crimson Rambler. 
HELENE. — A seedling from Crimson Rambler, 
Makes a growth of 10 to 15 feet in a season. Foliage 
similar to Crimson Rambler, but less subject to mil- 
dew and insect attacks. Its flowers are borne in large 
clusters and are produced in amazing profusion. Color 
soft violet rose, almost blush, base of petal yellowish 
white. The buds are carmine, finely mossed, and are 
borne 20 to 50 in a cluster. This magnificent rose is

bound to become popular when it becomes better known. 
PHILADELPHIA. — It blooms in grand clusters. 
Flowers 2 to 2 inches across, perfectly double to tin* 
centre; excellent substance and very duruble. Color 
pure deep rich crimson, far brighter and more intense 
than any other rose *of its class. Does not fade or 
wash out, but holds its bright dazzling color to tin 1 
last, making it specially valuable for forcing and flor- 
ists’ use. Has handsome foliage, does not mildew, 
and is early and abundant bloomer. Undoubtedly the 
brightest and best ol’ all Hardy Crimson Climbing Roses 
to date. Unequaled for forcing and equally fine for 
covering porch trellises, screens, fences, etc. Perfectly 
hardy, needs no protection. 
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, nearly double, of delightful fra- 
grance, a.d of an immaculate white. It is without 
question one of the best white climbing roses extant. 
YELLOW RAMBLER (AGLAIA).— The Yellow Ram- 
bler has 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 ns the Crimson Rambler, and are 
a bright lemon yellow, changing to creamy white.

in summer, changing to the brightest shade of crimson 
and yellow in the autumn. It Is quite hardy, and be- 
comes more popular every year.

than sweet-scented Honeysuckles, the foliage is pretty, 
neat and clean, the flowers are almost continuous, and 
their fragrance delicious. The varieties described below 
are the very best. 
Honeysuckle Hedges. Some of our friends have con- 
ceived the idea of planting Honeysuckle along the 
division fences, and it is wonderful what pretty hedges 
they make. Iron or wire fences are the host, but almost 
any kind Is soon covered with a mantle of living gueen. 
Other climbing vines will answer the same purpose^, but 
the sweet-scented Honeysuckles are both fragrant aud 
beautiful. They should *be planted two feet apart.
