THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE NOVELTY SINCE 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. 
In its foliage, growth and habit of blooming in immense 
clusters it is remarkably like Crimson Rambler, but the 
flowers are more double and of a beautiful shell-pink 
color. It is of remarkable vigor, making a growth of ten 
to fifteen feet in a single season. In the important point 
of hardiness nothing morecould bedesired, two unusually 
severe winters having failed to injure even young plants, 
although the temperature went as low as twenty degrees 
below zero. The Flowers are very double, are of large 
size for this class of Rose, usually two inches across; are 
borne in loose clusters of from thirty to forty, and we 
have often counted even fifty and sixty in a truss. The 
petals are very prettily rolled back and crinkled; the-buds 
are remarkably handsome, being pointed in shape and of 
just right size for the button-hole. The Color is a most 
beautiful clear shell-pink and holds a long time without 
fading ; even after the flower commences to fade the color 
is still pleasing, being then a lovely deep rose. The flow¬ 
ers are very sweetly scented, a characteristic not pos¬ 
sessed by most other roses of the Rambler family.

New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose 
CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT. 
For years Clotilde Soupert has stood out as one of the 
greatest Roses in cultivation. Climbing Clotilde Soupert 
has the same vigorous constitution as its parent, com¬ 
bined with its truly wonderful freedom of bloom and its 
extreme hardiness. In a single season small plants will 
grow fifteen to twenty-five feet, producing cluster after 
clusterof thefinestformedflowers. They are distinct,large, 
round, full and double, with beautifully imbricated petals, 
and deliciously sweet. The color effect is magnificent— 
ivory white, shading towards the center to silvery rose. 
Cluster after clusterof flowers are produced throughout 
the entire growing season, and the bush at all times is 
literally loaded down with them. It needs no protection, 
having withstood a temperature of twenty degrees below 
zero in the open ground without protection. 
Strong plants 20c. each; 3 for 50c.; $ 1.75 doz., postpaid. 
HELEN GOULD, The Sensational Rose. Rose for general planting ever introduced in America. 
It has proved itself to be the strongest-growing, freest-blooming, largest-flowering and hardiest Rose in existence. 
It is a better Rose for general planting than American Beauty—the dream and hope of every Rose grower for years 
past. The flowers are full and perfectly double, the buds beautifully made, long and pointed. The color is a warm, 
rosy-crimson, like the color of a ripe, red watermelon. It is as hardy as La France. I guarantee my plants to be 
the true variety. It is a very easy Rose to get along with ; anybody can grow it, and you can’t keep it from blooming, 
Be sure and plant this grand Rose. Perfectly hardy, can be left out over winter. 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.
