This variety, Thalia (the White 
Rambler), is afitting companion for 
the Crimson Rambler, closely re¬ 
sembling it in vine and foliage as 
well as in the great clusters of pure 
white flowers, which are deliciously 
fragrant. The flowers remain on the plant along time—from three 
to five weeks — and keep a long time when cut. The plant is perfectly 
hardy, equal in this respect to the Crimson Rambler, and where one is 
planted the other should be also. By growing this in a pot and training 
it to a pyramidal trellis, a fine plant may be had in bloom for Easter.

THE... 
Yellow Rambler 
(AQLAIA). 
This promises to supply that 
“ long-felt want,” a double yel¬ 
low hardy climbing Rose, a 
thing which has been sought 
after the world over. It is 
perfectly double, very fragrant, 
entirely hardy, having 
withstood, unprotect¬ 
ed, 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,mak¬ 
ing shoots 8 to 10 feet 
in one season when 
well established, so that it possess¬ 
es all the requisites for unbounded 
popularity. (See cut.) 
Magnificent Pyramidal Clusters of Rich Crimson Roses. 
Every Cluster a Perfect Bouquet of Roses in Itself. . . . 
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 valuo of new Roses, but tiio “ Crimson Rambler " is one 
that we offer to our customers, after an extended trial, with greater 
confidence in its merits. It came to this country heralded as a wonder 
among flowers, but the most extravagant praises yet bestowed on it fall 
short of doing it ample justice. It is adapted 1o the entire country, and 
should be in every garden in America. (See cut.) 
THE PRIZES IT WON. The judges at one of 
the principal flower shows in England, when award¬ 
ing 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 re¬ 
served for new Roses of the highest grade were 
entirely inadequate to indicate the merits of the 
“ Crimson Rambler.” At every exhibition through¬ 
out Great Britain where it was shown it received 
the highest honors, and this opinion was endorsed. 
The National Rose Society of England, the National' 
Horticultural Society of Franco and the Inter¬ 
national Exposition awarded Gold Medals to 
“Crimson Rambler.” 
ITS GROWTH. It is of rapid, vigorous growth ; 
plants in our grounds attained a height of fifteen 
feet tho past season. The flowers are produced in 
trusses, pyramidal In shape, good specimens meas¬ 
uring nine inches from base to tip, and seven 
inohes across, fairly covering the plant from the 
ground to the top, so that it is one muss of 
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 hun¬ 
dred 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 a plant of 
tho “ 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.
