THE CRIMSON RAMBLER. 
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 we offer to our customers with 
greater confidence in its merits. It came to this country herald¬ 
ed as a wonder among flowers, but the most 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. 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 covering 
the plant from the ground to the top. (See cut.)
