THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 
This grand Ro.se imjjroves upon acquaintance; the better it is 
known the more popular it becomes. We have occasionally to 
modify opinifms formed of the value of new Roses, but the 
“ Crimson Rambler ” is one that we oiler to our customers with 
greater confider.ee in its merits. It came to this country her¬ 
alded as a wonder among flowers, but the most e.xtravagant 
praises yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it ample ju.stice. 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.) 
THE WHITE RAMBLER (Thalia). I^elated to the 'rrim- 
-son Kamoler, closely 
resembling it in ^•ine and foliage! The flowers are pure white 
and remain on the plant a long time—from three to five weeks. 
THE PINK RAMBLER (Psyche). between •‘Crim- 
- -- —-i - t-r son Rambler and 
“ Golden Fairy." Color is light pink, suffused with salmon- 
rose and deep pink, yellow base ,to'petals. 
THE YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia). 
— - -very fragrant, en¬ 
tirely hardy. It is related to the " Crimson Rambler," and, like 
it, blooms in large trusses. P''lowers light yellow, changing to 
stra\v color, lasting 3 to 4 weeks without falling.
