GRAND MERE NURSERIES, 
DOROTHY PERKINS. — In general habit closely resembles crimson rambler, 
but of a beautiful shell-pink, full, and double, of an unusually large size for a 
cluster rose. The trusses are made up from thirty to forty flowers, and even 
more on the stronger branches. A decided acquistion. 
PINK. — Resembles Crimson Rambler in every respect but color, which in 
this is clear pink. The mature flowers often change to creamy white when 
fully matured. 
PHILADELPHIA. — Two weeks earlier than the old crimson rambler; blos- 
soms all summer, color never fades, bleaches or washes out. Flowers borne in 
large clusters, completely covering the bush. Individual flowers often 2% inches 
across. Perfectly double, of a pure, deep, rich, crimson. By far more intense 
than any other Crimson Rambler. In every respect an improvement over the 
old Crimson Rambler, and one of the finest of all hardy climbing roses. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. 
CRIMSON. — Recognized as the most beautiful of crimson climbing roses. 
Thousands have been planted in the past few years, and almost invariably have 
given entire satisfaction. Flowers are produced in large, pyramidal clusters, 
thirty-five to forty in a cluster, completely covering the plant, from the ground 
to the tips. Nothing is more effective. 
YELLOW. — Similar to Crimson in style of growth, but individual flowers 
are larger, and clusters smaller. Color, light canary yellow. 
PSYCHE. — A seedling of Crimson Rambler. Blooms in clusters of from 8 to 
25 flowers each, of a delicate rosy pink shade, suffused salmon and yellow at 
the base. Strong 2 yr. plants 35c. 
BABY RAMBLER. — This is one of the most practical all round roses ever put 
on the market. Its color is richly crimson, and its clusters are as large as in 
the ever popular Crimson Rambler, from which it is derived. But it’s habits 
are widely different from the parent’s. 
“Baby Rambler’’ is strictly a bush and pot rose- and as such, can be grown 
in the house just the same as Clotilde Soupert. Hermosa, or any of the old- 
time pot-plant varieties. It is spendthrift and tireless in its blooming, always 
showing a brilliant crown of crimson against its glossy green leaves, whether 
as a bush in the summer garden, or as a winter decoration in the house. Strong 
Held grown plants, 60c. each, $4.50 per dozen.
