Hardy Rambler Roses 
(Blooms in large clusters) 
to be far more popular at present than the true 
Ramblers, nevertheless we ask you not to forget 
the very definite place these Ramblers have in any Rose- 
planting. We do not Itke to see them overlooked because, 
in our opinion, there is nothing finer than masses of charm- 
ing clustered Ramblers producing the striking color effects 
that only Rambler Roses can give you. Then, again, the 
blooming season of most of these varieties comes after 
the main burst of bloom on the Large-flowered Climbers.

Ghislaine de Feligonde, Minnehaha, Sanders’ White, 
and that brilliant new red, Chevy Chase. It is true that 
some of the Ramblers are susceptible to mildew, but 
that is not serious since we have eliminated many of 
those. 
Pruning of Ramblers: Cut out, m August or September, 
the canes which have flowered, and train up young canes 
produced from base.

all Climbing Roses. If not pruned after

of brilliant little red berries lasting well 
into winter, a truly beautiful picture after 
the foliage has fallen. $1 each. 
with a Rambler Rose, and this_history- 
making Rose is the finest of the great 
Rambler family. Bloom lasts for several 
weeks during May and June in this sec- 
tion, the rich crimson color changing 
slowly with age but never becoming ob- 
jectionable. The result is a glorious shad- 
ing of red for weeks and a good-looking 
plant from then until frost. An added 
feature is a pleasing mild fragrance. The 
numerous canes will cover a large area, 
making it ideal for fences, walls or build-

Ghislaine de Feligonde. R. This almost

the restrained-growth Ramblers. When

most thornless canes which bear heavy 
crops of shapely rich yellow buds which 
slowly change to creamy white when fully 
open. Flowers are borne in large phlox- 
like clusters. If not pruned after the June

right through the season. Try it on a 
pillar, fence, or trellis or let it ramble over 
a wall. MS. and L. $1 each.

L. $1 each.
