Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue. 
Gem of the Prairie — Car- 
mine crimson occa- 
sionally blotched 
with white; a cross 
hybrid between 
Madam Laffay and 
Queen of tho Prairie. 
Lady Gay — .This Rose is 
superior to crimson 
Rambler of which 
it is a seedling and 
which it closely re- 
sembles in habit of 
bloom and vigor of 
growth. The floweis 
(in large, loose clus- 
ters) are of a deli- 
cate cherry pink 
color, fading to soft 
tinted white. The 
effect of a plant in 
full bloom with the 
combination of soft 
white flowers, cherry 
pink buds and deep 
green of the foliage 
is indeed charming. 
It is perfectly hardy 
and unsurpassed for 
climbing work. 
Mary Washington — One 
of the hardiest of 
ever-blooming clim- 
bers, a remarkably 
free bloomer, pro- 
ducing medium sized 
pure white flowers 
in large clusters. An 
extra strong grower 
when established. 
Pink .Rambler — Flowers 
medium size, pink 
in clusters. Very 
pretty. 
Queen of the Prairie — 
Bright rosy red, fre- 
quently striped with 
white; large, com- 
pact and globular. 
Lady Gay 
White Rambler — Similar in origin, habit 
of bush and bloom to Crimson Ram- 
bler, but not so strong a grower. 
Wichu riana — ( Me morial Rose ) — Charm - 
_ing trailer from Japan; produces 
numerous clusters of white fragrant 
flowers in July. Very hardy and vig- 
orous. Valuable as a covering for 
banks rockeries, etc., and for use 
in cemeteries. 
Yellow Rambler — (Aglaia) — The hardiest 
yellow climbing rose yet introduced. 
Very fragrant and a very vigorous 
grower; a worthy companion to the 
wonderful Crimson Rambler.
