THE FARQUHAR ROSE. 
I clip the following from my notes of a visit to the Spring Flower Show of the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Boston: 
“The Farquhar Rose was on exhibition and was awarded a silver medal. 
This Rambler is the largest yet, being quite two inches in diameter, very double 
and of the liveliest brignt pink imaginable, borne in large clusters, and with the 
individual flowers on longer stems than Crimson Rambler, so that they could be 
used for design work. It will make a magnificent Easter plant, and its vigor, 
hardiness, etc., make it a sure winner for outside.” 
Mr. Jackson Dawson, the raiser of thisnew rose, describes it as a cross between 
Wichuriana and Crimson Rambler, with larger and longer stemmed flowers similar in 
color and size to Carnation Melba. Mr. W. R. Smith, of the National Botanic Gardens, 
Washington, D. C., pronounces it emphatically the rose for the million. It is superior 
to Crimson Rambler not only in size of flower, but also as to foliage, which is of a 
bright, glossy green, and remains until November. Undoubtedly the finest hardy climb- 
ing rose to date. Plants have grown over 20 feet in one season. We are recommending 
it strongly to our florist customers as a grand plant for Easter forcing, and will have 
some extra strong two-year plants to offer this fall suitable for forcing. In the mean- 
time we have a fine lot of young plants ready for immediate delivery, and offer same, 
while stock lasts, as follows:
