OTHER NEW RAMBLERS OF RECENT INTRODUCTION AND STERLING MERIT, continued 
WALSH'S “DEBUTANTE" 
A seedling of the Rambler class originated by me. 
Has beautiful soft pink flowers borne in clusters, 
similar to Crimson Rambler; very fragrant and, 
when open, they have the delicate odor of the Sweet- 
brier. Flowers are double and of uniform size. Foli¬ 
age dark green and glossy. A splendid variety, and 
especially suited for climbing or trailing. Blooms 
freely in July and again a second time in September 
and October. Strong, field-grown, flowering plants, 
75 cts. each, $6 per doz. 
WALSHS “EVANGELINE” 
A distinct variety, with single flowers 2 inches in 
diameter. The foliage is very luxuriant. Flowers 
are borne in large clusters, are white with the tips of 
petals pink; deliciously fragrant. Foliage on the 
young growth of this variety is particularly attrac¬ 
tive. It is of a beautiful bronze-green. The contrast 
of the flowers with the handsome foliage is most 
charming. Evangeline is suitable for pergolas, park¬ 
ways, trellises, or for whatever purposes it may be 
desired. Perfectly hardy. $1 each, $9 per doz. 
WALSH’S “LADY GAY" 
Flowers are of cherry-pink, foliage glossy green. 
A grand variety, vigorous and perfectly hardy, re¬ 
garded here as an improvement on Dorothy Perkins. 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; extra-large plants, 75 cts. 
each. Illustrated on pages 9 and 22. 
WALSH’S “LA FIAMMA" 
This new Rambler, as the name denotes, is flame- 
colored. Roses of that shade are not common. The 
clusters of flowers are very large, borne on strong 
stems; plants make a growth of 15 feet in a season; 
flowers single. Perfectly hardy. 75 cts. each, $6 
per doz. 
WALSH'S “HIAWATHA" 
This seedling attracted much attention and 
evoked many favorable comments when exhibited 
for the first time at the spring exhibition of the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, in March, 
1902. It is a distinctly different type of the beauti¬ 
ful Ramblers. It is a seedling from Crimson Ramb¬ 
ler. The flowers are single, and are of deep, intense 
crimson, with the petals shading to a pure white 
at the base. The foliage is of a light, glossy green. 
The remarkable beauty and the striking effect of a 
plant in full bloom must be seen to be thoroughly 
appreciated. It blooms very freely in June, and gives 
a second lot of lovely flowers in September and 
October. It is undoubtedly one of the best of all 
single Roses. It is an excellent sort for forcing, and 
is well suited for climbing or trailing. The plant is 
perfectly hardy, and the leaves and stems are very 
tough and less susceptible to the attacks of insects 
than any other Rose in this popular class. Extra 
strong. 75 cts. each, $6 per doz. 
“This is a delightful break from the other forms. Its 
color is a glowing ruby-crimson, with clear white eye, and 
the flowers, each about 1 jT inches across, are produced in 
long trails, as in Lady Gay, and contain from forty to fifty 
in a trail. The sprays are just as pendulous as in Dorothy 
Perkins and Lady Gay, and it may readily be imagined 
what, such a glorious color would give to a Rose of this 
description, fitting it so admirably by the light arrange¬ 
ment of spray and foliage for the most delicate floral 
arrangement. ’ ’—English Gardening. 
WALSH'S “MINNEHAHA” 
A charming, double, satiny pink-flowering Ram¬ 
bler of a most pleasing color. It is quite distinct 
from the various shades of pink and a most attrac¬ 
tive Rose. Flowers borne in large clusters; foliage 
glossy green. Awarded Silver Medal. $1 each, $9 
per doz.; second size, 75 cts. each. 
WALSH'S “PARADISE” 
Single flowers, pink and white. The formation of 
the petals has a peculiar and artistic effect, the 
edges of petals are imbricated. Flowers hang in 
graceful clusters, and the plant is heavily laden with 
bloom. Foliage light, glossy green. Perfectly hardy. 
Field-grown plants, $1 each, $9 per doz.; second size, 
75 cts. each, $6 per doz. 
NEW CLIMBING ROSES OF FOREIGN 
ORIGIN AND FROM OTHER GROWERS 
ARIEL 
PAUL & SONS 
May almost be termed a single-flowered Tea-Ram¬ 
bler. It has large flowers of a bright amaranth-pink 
and coppery buds. The coppery shade runs right 
through the whole plant, stems, leaves and flowers.

grow 12 feet or more in a light and airy way, and will 
bloom all the way from the ground up. The bril¬ 
liantly colored flowers and handsome, unique foliage 
makes a charming display. $1 each.
