BEAUTIFUL RAMBLER ROSES 
The Ramblers are so well known that it is unnecessary 
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 pil¬ 
lars, and as specimen pot plants for winter forcing. Flow¬ 
ers are well-formed and though small are produced in so 
great profusion as to present an immense mass of bloom. 
The Crimson is the best color and most satisfactory. 
When in bloom the plants are literally covered with 
thousands of brilliant crimson flowers. 
Pink. Yellow. White. Crimson. 
Two-year plants 50 cents ; set of four for $1.50. 
CLIMBING ROSES 
Are perfectly hardy ; bloom early in summer, and when 
in a rich soil soon cover any arbor or porch. Two-year 
plants, each 35 cents : two for 60 cents. 
Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, nearly white. 
Queen of the Prairie. Rosy red ; fine. 
It may be well to give the caution that Climbing Roses, 
do not require the close annual pruning that the Hybrid 
Pcrpetuals need, nor will they submit to it and produce 
flowers. The long shoots or canes of the climbers bear 
short side branches on which the flowers are borne, and 
the plants arc capable of bearing great numbers of flowers 
annually ; these side growths are therefore to be encour¬ 
aged. Cut out all old canes and cut back the side shoots 
for renewal. 
HELENE

MONTHLY ROSES 
The ever-blooming class comprises the Teas, Chinas, Noisettes, and Bourbons. These have free-blooming qualities, 
exquisite fragrance, and delicate colors. They are well adapted to house-culture. The varieties offered are among the 
best in cultivation ; they have been carefully grown in pots during the summer, and are in excellent condition for winter 
flowering. Shower the plants frequently, or sponge the leaves to keep them clear of the red spider, their worst enemy 
in the house. Fine strong plants, each 15 cents ; $1.50 per dozen. Italic letters indicate classes : t, Tea ; c, China.
