Dorothy PerKins 
A hybrid of Rosa Wichuraiana and Mme. Gabriel Luizet. In its foliage, 
growth, and habit of blooming, it is remarkably like Crimson Rambler, but the 
flowers are more double and of a beautiful shell-pink color, and hold a long 
time without fading. The flowers arc also very sweetly scented, a character¬ 
istic not possessed by most other Roses of the Rambler family. 
Strong young plants, each, 25 cents ; per dozen, $2.50. 
Two-year plants, each, 40 cents; per dozen, $4.00. 
Climbing' Clotbilde Soupert 
This grand new hardy everblooming Rose is undoubtedly one of the most 
beautiful and satisfactory of all the hardy ever-blooming climbing Roses yet 
introduced. The flowers are similar to the well-known Clothilde Soupert, 
borne in clusters, and are of very large size. Color beautiful creamy-white, 
deepening in the center to a clear bright pink, and sometimes both red and 
white Roses are borne on the same bush. 
Strong young plants, each 15 cents ; per dozen, $1.50. 
Extra strong plants, from 4-inch pots, each 40 cents; per dozen, $4.00. 
The Rambler Roses 
The Ramblers have grown in favor so rapidly and are so well known that it 
is not necessary to devote space to a long description of these wonderfully 
beautiful and useful hardy climbers. They are suitable for training on walls, 
verandas, trellises, arbors, and pillars, and as specimen pot plants for winter 
forcing. The flowers are well formed and, though small, are produced in so 
great profusion as to present an immense mass of bloom. Many of our cus¬ 
tomers report that single plants when in bloom showed thousands of flowers. 
Crimson. White. Yellow. Pink. 
Each, 15 cents ; set of four for 50 cents. 
Two-year plants, each 40 cents ; set of four for $1.50. 
Lady Gay, a New Rambler 
The following is from the introducer’s description: “A seedling from the 
popular Crimson Rambler, which it resembles in habit and general effect. The 
flowers are of a delicate cherry pink color, which fades to soft white. The 
foliage is very profuse and of a glossy deep green shade. The effect of a plant 
in full bloom, with the combination of the soft white flowers, the cherry-pink 
buds, and the deep green foliage, is indeed most charming. As will be seen 
from the accompanying illustration, the flowers are very numerous and of good 
size ; they are also delicately perfumed. The plant is a vigorous grower and 
perfectly hardy. This is a rose of the highest merit, and far superior to the 
Crimson Rambler. This is a new color in a Rose, of which one will not become 
tired, as is the case with the Crimson Rambler.” Each, 35 cents. 
Helene 9 the New Climbing Rose 
A seedling from Crimson Rambler. It is of very robust growth, throwing up 
canes ten to fifteen feet high in a single season. The color is a pure soft violet-rose, 
almost blush; base of petals yellowish. The buds are carmine, finely ciliated or 
mossed, and are borne in clusters of from twenty-five to fifty. Perfectly hardy 
One-year plants, each, 25 cents; per dozen, $2.50. 
Philadelphia Rambler 
This Rose is a cross between the popular Crimson Rambler and the fierj 
crimson Hybrid Perpetual Victor Hugo, and is identical with the Crimson 
Rambler except that the color is a brighter crimson, and never fades; is a 
valuable acquisition to the list of climbing Roses. 
One-year plants, each, 25 cents ; per dozen, $2.50. 
Two-year plants, each 40 cents ; per dozen, $4.00.
