THE NEW HANDY I A T\\S 
PINK RAMBLER ROSE, L r\D I 
This new variety, a seedling from the popular Crimson Rambler, which 
it closely resembles in habit of growth and general effect, is destined to 
become one of the most popular of garden climbing Roses, for which 
purpose it is especially adapted on account of its delicately-tinted flowers, 
which are of a delicate cherry-pink, which gradually changes to a soft 
white. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with profuse, glossy, 
deep green foliage, and the effect of a plant in full bloom, with the com¬ 
bination of the soft white flowers, the cherry-pink buds and the deep 
green foliage, is indeed charming. It is of American origin, has been 
exhibited extensively in Europe, and has everywhere been highly com¬ 
mended. (See cut.)

A GRAND HARDY CLIMBING ROSE. 
TAUSENDSCHON or "THOUSAND BEAUTIES.' 
A beautiful, new climbing Rose which has leaped into popularity by 
its inherent merit and beauty. The name “ Thousand Beauties ” is very 
appropriate and refers particularly to the wonderful variety of coloring 
found on any one plant. The flowers are soft pink atJirst, but as they 
age the most beautiful shades of carmine rose, cerise, blush, soft white, 
with a gleam of light yellow showing, soft crimson and intermediate tints 
are found, a combination of charming coloring which is bewildering. It 
is a rampant grower, very healthy with magnificent foliage.

THE CK1MSON KAMBLER. 
This grand Rose improves upon acquaintance; the better it is 
known the more popular it becomes. We have occasionally to 
modify opinions formed of the value of new Roses, but the 
“ Crimson Rambler ” is one that w r e offer to our customers with 
greater confidence in its merits. It came to this country her¬ 
alded as a wonder among flowers, but the most extravagant 
praises yet bestowed on it tall short of doing it ample justice. It 
is adapted to the entire country, and should be in every garden 
in America. ITS GROWTH: It is of rapid growth; attains a 
height of fifteen feet in a season. Flowers in trusses, measuring 
nine inches from base to tip and seven inches across, fairly cov¬ 
ering the plant from the ground to the top. (See cut A
