The crimson is the only one of the Ramblers which we can thoroughly recom¬ 
mend. For a pink climber we would advise either Dorothy Perkins or Prairie Queen, 
.and for a white, the Baltimore Belle, although it is not quite as hardy as the others. 
MOSS ROSES 
We can furnish the Moss roses in white, pink or red. 
RUGOSA ROSES 
For an untrimmed hedge and for planting in masses in shrubbery, the Rugosa Roses 
are unsurpassed. They have the finest foliage of all Roses; their large and abundant single 
pink or white flowers are lovely, and the large and showy red fruit that follows the flowers 
makes them very attractive until severe freezing weather comes in the winter. 
TREE ROSES 
These are grafted on tall stems of the Dog Rose, forming a half weeping head three or 
four feet from the ground. They can be furnished by colors only; but the particular varie¬ 
ties grafted in the head cannot be named. Orders must be by color only. 
HERBACEOUS PAEONIAS 
These are very beautiful, showy, and easily cultivated plants, blooming from the 
beginning of May to the end of July. We grow 7 from 25 to 30 of the best varieties of these 
plants such as Festiva Maxima, Modeste Guerin, Humei, Eclatant, Camille Callot, etc., 
giving a full assortment of colors and seasons. We give descriptions here of only three. 
Peony — Single Blush — In our estimation this is the most beautiful and satisfactory peony 
we have ever seen. The original plant obtained 40 years ago from a now unknown 
source, is still producing an abundant crop of flowers each season. We have never seen 
the same variety in other nurseries and have been entirely unable to obtain the same 
thing anywhere else, although we have made numerous attempts. We have a limited 
amount of nice plants propagated from our own clump now 7 ready for sale. Wherever 
we have sold any in the last few years we have received the highest words of praise for 
it. Flowers large delicate blush when it first opens,.fading to white in a few days. 
Single, with a large yellow center, giving it the appearance of a large water lily. Sw 7 eet 
scented. Blooms early and as all buds do not come out at same time it is in bloom for 
a longer period than most peonies. Blooms young, almost invariably the first season, 
and this is true usually even when planted in the Spring. Plant strong and healthy. 
Tenuifolia or Fringe Leaf —A beautiful novelty with delicate fern-like foliage. 
Flowers the brightest firy red, produced very early. 
Festiva Maxima —About the largest and undoubtedly the most popular Peony of them 
all. High built flowers borne on long, stiff stems; the purest white inner petals slightly 
tipped carmine. 
HARDY PERENNIALS 
Anemone Japonica—(Fall Anemone)—Beautiful, wax like flowers, tw 7 o to three inches in 
diameter, of different shades, blooming in great profusion from August till killed by 
frosts. One of the best of the entire list of hardy plants. 
Alba— Pure white, waxen, yellow center; single, a strong grower and the most hardy 
variety. 
Whirlwind —Similar to Alba, but being semi-double and not quite as hardy. 
Queen Charlotte —Very large, pink flowers with a purplish tinge with yellow center; 
waxen; very beautiful.
