net,“ growing 18 ins. high and resembling in general habit the now 
so well-known Crimson Baby Rambler. The flowers are also pro¬ 
duced continually in the same profusion and are of a brilliant rose 
color. It is a true everbloomer and exceedingly useful lor either

NEW CLIMBING ROSE 
“LADY GAY” 
In this latest .ntrodaction we have a seedling of the Crimson 
Rambler that marks the highest perfection of hardy pink climbing 
roses. It is of a different growth and a distinctly different shade 
of pink from the “Dorothy Perkins,” which it resembles only in 
being a pink climber. We feel justified in strongly recommending 
this variety, feeling confident it will give entire satisfaction.

a decorative plant.
