New Fiery-Red Rambler Rose, EXCELSA. 
A splendid, new Climbing Rose, remarkable in many ways but particularly in the 
brilliant fiery-red, or intense crimson-scarlet of the flowers. The intensely brilliant 
color is accentuated by the great masses of giant trusses produced on the plants, 
and furthermore by the contrast with the deep green, glossy foliage. The flowers 
are very double; they are larger than any of the Rambler Roses and borne in 
trusses of thirty to forty on each; the body of the flower is brilliant in color but 
towards the edges of the petals they light up with a wonderful scarlet-crimson. It 
is very vigorous in growth and belongs to the disease-proof race of Climbing Roses 
developed by crossing on Rosa Wichuraiana. (See cut.) Price, 1st size, 75c. each, 
S7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, SO.00 per doz.; 3d size, 30c. each, S3.00 per doz.
