CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE. 
“ The Gardeners' Chronicle, of London , 
England, printed an illustration from a 
photo of the Crimson Rambler Rose, •which 
is well known for its extraordinary free 
blooming character. According to this 
picture , sixteen strong stalks ornament a 
hedge twelve yards in length. Every stalk 
carried about fifty clusters of Jtowers. If 
the pact is taken into consideration that each 
cluster averages about forty open flowers, 
one arrives at the enormous total oj 32,000 
roses to a single plant. The paper also em¬ 
phasizes the fact that this variety is very 
hardy." 
The sales of Crimson Rambler Roses 
have greatly exceeded lhatof anyother Rose 
extant within the same number of years, 
and it is said that the fortunate English 
introducers of this variety have made a 
profit of over one hundred thousand dollars 
with it. For two or three years after its introduction I was rather skeptical of its merits, but I am now convinced that they 
have never been exaggerated. It is strikingly beautiful, absolutely hardy, and no rose can be used for more purposes. As 
a climber it is unsurpassed, perhaps unequalled; as a pot plant for forcing, the florists are findingit extremely popular ; by 
keeping it cut down it makes a splendid bedding rose, and a hedge of it is one of the most beautiful objects imaginable. 
I can supply a splendid stock of plants, all grown on their own roots, at these extremely low prices: 30 cents each, $ 3.00 
per dozen, $ 20.00 per 100 . 
ROSA WICHURIANA. 
Rosa Wichtiriana on an Arch at Dosoris. 
In some respects this rose, which is also known as the “Memorial Rose,” is better than Crimson Rambler, although it 
lacks the brilliant color of its more advertised contemporary. As a climber for covering porches, trellises and arches, and 
as a creeper for covering steep banks or any ground needing covering, it is unequaled. The foliage is a lustrous shining 
green. In bloom the plant is literally covered with exquisitely beautiful single white flowers, which are followed by an 
abundant crop of bright red heps or berries, which remain on the plant all winter. The rose is entirely free from attacks 
of insects or disease, and is absolutely hardy, root and branch. 
Strong Two year Old plants, 30 cents each, #3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100.
