A YELLOW RAMBLER, 
“ Aglaia . 99 
This promises to supply that “long felt want,” a 
double yellow hardy climbing Rose, a thing 
which has been sought after the world over. It is 
perfectly double, very fragrant, entirely hardy, 
having withstood, unprotected, a prolonged tem¬ 
perature of from zero to two degrees below. It is 
related to the Crimson Rambler, and, like it, blooms 
in large trusses, often bearing from 120 to 150 
flowers in a cluster. The flowers last three to four 
weeks without fading. It is a very vigorous grower, 
making shoots 8 to 10 feet in one season when 
well established, so that it possesses all the re¬ 
quisites for unbounded popularity. Price, young 
plants from 3-inch pots, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.

This illustration 
was made from the 
photograph 
of a plant growing 
on the estate of Mr. 
Louis B. McCagg, 
Newport, R. I., 
taken July, 1896. 
The plant was set 
out in May, 1895, and 
was furnished by 
us. It was about 
18 inches high when 
planted, and when 
the photograph was 
taken it was 
fifteen feet high and 
six feet wide, 
with thousands of 
flowers.

^(vSn naU /i to modify opinions formed of the value of new Roses, but the 
Wit hw Rambler is one that we offer to our customers, after a two years’ trial, 
confidence m its merits. It came to this country heralded as a wonder 
, b . ut ,V* e m <’ st extravagant praises yet bestowed on it fall short of 
doing it ample justice. It is adapted to the entire country, and should be in 
every garden in America. (See cut.) 
1HE PHIZES IT IVON. The judges at one of the principal flower 
snows in England, when awarding it a Gold Medal, the highest honor they 
could bestow, epitomized the views of all who had seen it when they said 
that the ordinary premiums reserved for new Roses of the highest grade 
v ore entirely inadequate to indicate the merits of the “ Crimson Rambler.” 
At every exhibition throughout Great Britain where it was shown it received 
the highest honors, and this opinion was endorsed. The National Rose 
» ociety of England, the National Horticultural Society of France and the 
International Exposition awarded Gold Medals to “ Crimson Rambler.” 
IIS GROW TIT. It is of rapid, vigorous growth ; plants in our 
grounds attained a height of fifteen feet the past season. The flowers 
sue produced in trusses, pyramidal In shape, good specimens measur¬ 
ing nine inches from base to tip, and seven inches across, fairly 
covering the plant from the ground to the top, so that it is one mass 
ot glowing crimson. The color is superb, and remains strong and 
vivid to the end; plants in our grounds retained the bloom for two 
months. The profusion of bloom is marvelous, over three hundred 
blooms having been counted on one shoot. 
AS A POT PLANT. It.is essentially a garden Rose, but makes 
a. magnificent specimen in a pot or tub. There was exhibited in Boston, 
last spring, a plant of the' “ Crimson Rambler ” growing in a twelve- 
inch pot, the plant being about four feet high and three feet wide, 
bearing nearly five thousand buds and flowers; it was grown by 
Mr. Jackson Dawson from a plant furnished by us.
