General List of Ever-Blooming Roses — Concluded 
The Beautiful Yellow Tea Rose, 
PEABL OF THE OARDEN 
(Perle des Jardins.) The one Tea Rose which yoii 
cannot possibly do without. It has absolutely no weak 
point, but it is a perfect and popular Rose. The color 
is faultless, whether the waxy petals show the rich 
cream tint of cool weather or take richer golden shades 
which a warmer sun gives them. The form of the 
bud is rich, rounded and luxuriant. It is only equaled 
in beauty by the open Rose, which is full to the cen- 
ter and large. It is no shy, creeping plant, but is fairly 
riotous of growth, sending out quantities of beautiful 
foliage, thick, glossy and dark, every branch being 
topped with the dark reddish-maroon of the young 
shoots, and bearing its buds high above the leaves. 
ANTOINE RIVOIRE 
(Hybrid Tea.) 
Here we have a Rose that can be talked about, and 
when you have said all in its favor that you can think 
of, you have still left something unsaid. It is a vig- 
orous grower, with line shaped buds and flowers, col- 
or salmon-flesh in center to the edge of its petals 
shading to a creamy-white, with a delicate pink tinge. 
No other Rose we know of is either like it in color 
make-up — the color is so fresh and clean, it will last 
longer by tar than any Rose cut from the field and re- 
tain its fresh, bright appearance. 
LA DETROIT 
(H. T.) (Forcing.) The new Detroit Rose, whicli 
has been so largely exhibited and advertised. Shell- 
pink, shading to soft rose; reverse of outer petals 
cream colored; fragrance like that of old Bon Silene. 
In form it is large, cup-shaped; petals shell-like. Rich, 
glossy foliage; a rampant, vigorous grower, producing 
long shoots. We do not think this Rose has been rated 
high enough. We would place it at the top of the list 
of all pink Roses. Fully equal in value to La France 
or Killarney. 
YELLOW COCHET 
This is not a true Cochet Rose, but is one of the 
most beautiful and satisfactory yellow Roses. 
Baby Rambler. 
BABY RAMBLER 
It is in bloom all the time, flowers in large cluster.^ 
of brightest crimson. It grows to a height of eighteen 
inches- and hides the plant with its bloom. A most 
wonderful Rose. 
THE RAMBLER ROSES 
PHILADELPHIA 
Crimson Rambler. 
This splendid new variety differs from the old Crim- 
son Rambler in having a brighter, deeper and more 
intense color and flowers that are perfectly double to 
the center, very durable and of excellent substance. 
It is a very profuse bloomer and a good, healthy grow- 
er, producing splendid clusters of perfectly double and 
intensely brilliant flowers, absolutely free from the 
faded appearance so frequently seen in flowers of the 
ordinary Crimson Rambler. Strong plants. Price, 10 
cents; three-inch, 15 cents; two-year, 25 cents. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER 
This plant is of a very vigorous growth, making 
shoots from eight to ten feet during the season, ren- 
dering it a charming pillar Rose. It is also magniflcent 
in bush form, and for covering buildings, trellises, etc., 
it cannot be excelled. One of the striking character- 
istics of this Rose is its remarkable color, which is of 
the brightest crimson, which remains undimmed to the 
end, showing none dl the objectionable purplish tint so 
common in crimson Roses. The flowers are produced 
in great pyramidal panicles, or trusses, each carrying 
from thirty to forty blooms. Price, 5 cents each; three- 
inch pots, 10 cents; two-year, 25 cents; three-year, 
heavy, 50 cents. 
NEW RAMBLER ROSE TAUSBNDSCHON 
A German introduction which comes to us very high- 
ly recommended. It has the same vigorous habit of 
growth as the other Ramblers, making growths in a 
season of over 10 feet, which are almost devoid of 
thorns. It bears its flowers in immense clusters; in 
color a soft pink when first opening, changing to a car- 
mine-rose on the reverse as they fully expand. Price, 
15 cents; three-inch, 25 cents; two-year, 40 cents. 
HELENE 
The New Pink Rambler. 
A seedling from Crimson Rambler, originated by a 
famous German rosarian, from whom we obtained our 
stock. Flowers larger than those of Crimson Rambler; 
nearly double, and borne in clusters of twenty to fifty. 
Color soft violet-rose, yellowish-white at base of petals. 
Anthers pure yellow and numerous. Habit fully as 
strong as Crimson Rambler, but more graceful. Foli- 
age like Crimson Rambler. Hardy. Price, 8 cents; 
two-year, 25 cents. 
LADY GAY 
A most desirable new variety of remarkable, vigor- 
ous growth, with flowers of a delicate cerise-pink, 
passing to soft-tinted white. The effect of a plant in 
full bloom with the combination of the soft white flow- 
ers, cherry-pink buds, and the deep green of the foliage 
is indeed charming. Price, 15 cents; three-inch, 20 
cents; two-year, 30 cents. 
THALIA 
White Rambler. 
This charming new Rose of the Rambler variety is 
a wonder. It climbs rapidly, is entirely hardy, pro- 
duces immense clusters of pure white Roses, perfectly 
double, of delightful fragrance and of Immaculate 
white. It is without question the best Climbing Rose 
extant. Price, 8 cents; two-year, 25 cents. 
AGLAIA 
Yellow Rambler. 
The color is a decided yellow. The flowers are very- 
sweet scented; habit of grow-th is very vigorous, well- 
established plants often making shoots of from eight 
to ten feet in height in a single season. Price, 5 cents; 
two-year, 25 cents.
