CRIMSON RAMBLER. Another year's trial adds to our valuation of this splendid climbing Rose, which is per- fectly hardy. The size and beauty of the flower- heads are truly wonderful. We counted on one shoot four hundred and thirty buds and flowers I The rapidity with which the plants grow is also a source of constant wonder. Shoots from eight to ten feet high spring up in one season, while the foliage is so thick and luxuriant that a bower of shade is formed quickly. The distinct, handsome foliage remains bright long after other Roses have dropped their leaves. The great trusses of small, glowing crimson flowers appear in June, and re- main brilliant in color for several weeks. Good, strong plants, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts., or 10 for $1.00, (AUister Stella Gray). In habit of growth and profusion of bloom this is similar to the fa- mous Crimson Rambler. It is a vigorous grower and blooms pro- fusely both early and late. The deep yellow flowers, of small size, are borne in handsome clusters. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00. This is identical with its famous parent, La France, in silvery peach-pink color, delicious fragrance, and in all points save its propensity for climbing. The plant is entirely hardy, and so vig- orous that it frequently makes a growth of from ten to fifteen feet in a season 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 10 for $1.00, postpaid, by mail. The introducer describes this new Rose as follows : "Though a sport from that finest of all Hybrid Teas, Meteor, it is much larger and of a deeper, richer color. It will make ten "to fifteen feet of growth in a season and show a profusion of bloom every day. Buds exquisite; flowers large, beautifully shaped, and of that rich, dark, velvety crimson color seen only in the Jacqueminot." 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts., postpaid. Splendid new single Rose, with flow- ers four to five inches across, of the brightest rosy-carmine, and produced so abundantly that the last year's shoots, some ten to twelve feet in length of growth, were covered from base to top with bunches of flowers from each eye. Very vigorous. 25 cts. each ; 5 for $1.00, postpaid, by mail. See illustration beloiv. This grand new Climbing Rose is the best of its class yet produced. In color the handsome, deep, rich crimson flowers are identical with Wootton, but larger in size. It is hardier than Climbing Meteor, and a more prolific bloomer. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts., postpaid, by mail. One plant each of the above Six Climbing Roses mailed for only Seventy=five Cents. FOUR Ever-Blooming CLIMBING ROSES for 50 CTS. Ever-blooming Roses are the most popular of all climbers, because of their high type of beauty, fragrance, and continual bloom.
