AYRSHIRE ROSES 
These are of slender, rapid growth, often running fifteen 
feet in one season, and are used in covering buildings, etc. 
They do not require rich soil, and should be pruned very little, 
or not at all. 
Bennett’s Seedling, vig. Pure white double flowers 
of medium size. 
CLIMBING POLYANTHA ROSES (Ramblers) 
The popular “ Crimson Rambler” is the type of this family 
and is still regarded as one of the best climbers grown. Since 
its introduction a few years ago many new varieties of ster¬ 
ling merit have been brought out so that the collection now 
offered embraces a charming and varied assortment, of both 
double and single flowered varieties of every shade of color, 
all well adapted for covering arches, pillars, pergolas, veran¬ 
dahs, trellises, etc. They are all vigorous growers and pro¬ 
duce their flowers abundantly and in large trusses. 
Blush Rambler, vig. In growth similar to Crim¬ 
son Rambler; flowers single, perfectly round, 
very fragrant, and produced in large clusters; 
color a rich blush. A free bloomer. 
Crimson Rambler. The wonderful Japanese Rose, 
by far the most important and valuable acqui¬ 
sition of recent years. It is a running or climbing 
rose of vigorous habit, strong and rapid growth, 
with handsome, shining foliage, and produces in 
marvelous abundance clusters of the brightest 
crimson semi-double roses. Its clustered form, 
its brilliancy, the abundance of its bloom, and 
the great length of time the flowers remain on 
the plant without falling or losing their bril¬ 
liancy, are qualities which make this a great 
favorite. For verandahs, walls, pillars, and 
fences, it is a most suitable plant. If grown in 
beds and pegged down it produces marvelous 
heads of bloom, or it can be grown in bush 
form and thus becomes a most striking object. 
But it is not only for out-door use that is valu¬ 
able; it can be employed most satisfactorily for 
decorating in-doors when grown in pots, and 
for forcing at Easter time when pot-grown 
specimens bring high prices. 
Dawson, vig. A vigorous and hardy plant with a 
tendency to climb high. Flowers are clustered 
like those of the Rosa Multiflora. They are 
quite full, of a deep pink color, and very fra¬ 
grant. 
Debutante, mg. Very double, in clusters, soft 
pink, fragrant. 
Helene, vig. Large, pale violet rose, with yellow¬ 
ish white center and borne in clusters. A strong 
grower and free bloomer; effective. 
We do not have agents. Buy direct from the grower and do 
away with the middleman's profit and agent‘s commission. 
Leuchtstern, vig. Single, in large clusters, bright 
rose with a distinct white eye, like a Cineraria; 
foliage and habit resembling Crimson Rambler! 
A very distinct and valuable variety. 
Multiflora Japonica. A charming species, intro¬ 
duced from Japan more than a century ago, but 
only recently brought to notice. It is exceed¬ 
ingly free-blooming, and towards the end of 
June the plant is covered with great clusters of 
small white, single, sweetly fragrant flowers, 
in which the golden-colored anthers make a 
charming contrast with the snowy-white petals. 
It is extremely hardy and grows rapidly, and is 
a valuable shrub. 
Paul’s Carmine Pillar, vig. Very large, single, 
bright rosy carmine, anil produced abundantly. 
Grows ten to twelve feet in a season. 
Philadelphia Rambler, vig. An improvement on 
the famous Crimson Rambler, flowers being 
larger, much more double, and of a lighter 
crimson color. ) 
Queen Alexandra, vig. Rosy pink, produced in 
clusters, a strong grower and free bloomer. 
Rubin, trig. Resembles Crimson Rambler, but has 
larger flowers of a deep red or ruby color. 
Very attractive. 
Waltham Rambler, vig. An attractive variety, 
bearing large panicles of rosy pink single flow¬ 
ers, slightly paler in the center and showing the 
yellow stamens. A strong grower. 
Wedding Bells, vig. White, base of petals soft 
pink; very free flowering. 
White Rambler (Thalia), vig. Small or medium, 
daisy-like, pretty white flowers in large clus¬ 
ters; fragrant; very ornamental.

but white when fully open; when half open the 
flowers are tinged with yellow, slightly fra¬ 
grant. Plant vigorous and free-blooming; hardy, 
very pretty and desirable. 
NEW RAMBLERS OF EXTRAORDINARY 
MERIT 
Mrs. Flight. Beautiful pink, semi-double. A 
strong grower and a very free bloomer. One of 
the best. 
Tausendschon, or Thousand Beauties. Cannot 
be too highly recommended on account of its 
free flowering qualities and beautiful white and 
delicate pink blossoms. It has already been 
recognized by the leading florists, and is grown 
in large quantities now for winter forcing, and 
for garden decoration it cannot be surpassed.
