PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK- 
ThaBaby Rambler. 
(Madame Norbert Levavasseur.) 
T HE descriptive name of “Baby” or Dwarf 
Crimson Rambler seems a misnomer, yet 
is appropriate, for the fame of the 
“Crimson Rambler” belongs to it. It forms 
compact bushes about 2 feet high, covered 
with clusters of rich, crimson-red flowers 
throughout the season. Perfectly hardy, it 
requires no winter care, and should improve 
each year with good culture. The coloring 
is brighter and more persistent than in its 
parent, the “Crimson Rambler.” The size 
of the clusters and the number of flowers in 
each are the marvel of all beholders. As a 
bedding variety, to make a low, attractive 
hedge, to border a walk, for planting in 
cemeteries, or for growing in pots in the 
house, it stands alone and must And its way 
everywhere. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 
2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 
15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 
BESSIE BROWN. 
A charming Hybrid Tea Rose of recent 
introduction. The coloring is delightful, a 
delicate blush exquisitely shaded in the depth 
of the petals with a warmer blush. A healthy 
vigorous grower and constant bloomer. Splen¬ 
didly shaped buds and full double flowers, 
richly perfumed. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 
2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. 
each, $1.50 per doz. 
ROSEMAWR. 
A very effective bedding Rose, perfectly 
hardy and very vigorous. It is abnor¬ 
mally healthy and free-blooming, never 
sick under ordinary conditions, and never 
out of bloom. The color is rich reddish- 
carmine, changing to a brilliant pink as 
the flowers age. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 
2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 
10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
A MAGNIFICENT HARDY 
EVER-BLOOMING ROSE. 
“MAGNAFRANO" 
Fairly entitled to k>e called "The 
Everblooming * JacK’ Rose.** 
After a more extended and thorough 
trial of this grand variety, we feel we can¬ 
not say too much in praise of it. Raised 
by crossing the well-known and valuable 
“Magna Charta” and “Safrano,” it is 
named after both parents, using a portion 
of the name of each. It combines the 
hardiness and vigor of the former with the 
free-blooming habit and delightful fra¬ 
grance of the Tea Roses. The flowers 
closely resemble “Magna Charta” in size 
and fullness, but are more double; color, 
clear deep rose. It is a strong, healthy 
grower, a constant and abundant bloomer. 
It is one of the healthiest Roses we have; 
strong, bushy habit, with foliage like the 
“General Jacqueminot,” but free from 
the diseases peculiar to Hybrid Perpetual 
Roses, and as free-blooming as a monthly 
Rose; flowers 4 to 5 inches across. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 
2d size, 40c. each, S4.00 per doz.; 3d size, 
15c. each, $1.50 per doz.
