Bedding Effect of the Baby Ramblers. Dwarf or Baby Rambler Roses THE FAMOUS CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER_nnp of the most useful and ornamental Roses yet introduced. It blooms in immense clusters similar to Crimson Ram- bler, every day in the year, but grows only 20 inches high. Better than an azalea, it is superb for single specimens, dwarf hedges and for bedding. The color is clear and brilliant ruby-red; foliage dark and glossy. Free from insects and absolutely hardy everywhere. THE LOVELY ANNY MULLER_This Rose is very much the same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the color of the flowers, which are a shiny and brilliant pink, produced in the greatest profusion in large clus- ters. It is a splendid companion for the other excellent members of this family. DOUBLE WHITE BABY RAMBLER_a most beautiful companion to the Crimson Baby Rambler, growing to the same height, and bearing great masses of double, pure white flowers, covering the plant as with a mantle. The Roses are delightfully scented, reminding one somewhat of a hyacinth. BABY TAUSENDSCHON_A dwarf form of the Climb- ing Tausendschon or Thousand Beauties. It has all the characteristics of the climber in the charm of its flow- ers, but blooming the entire season. Flowers firm, white, delicately flushed pink, changing to deep rosy- carmine. 25c each; two-year-old plants, by express, 50c each. BABY DOROTHY_Thi^ magnificent Baby Rambler is equally as meritorious, if not more so than Crimson Baby Rambler, which has become so famous. Of dwarf growth, it blooms practically all the time, producing in amazing quantities large clusters or panicles of its beautiful pink flowers, which are full and double, the color of which is almost identical with the flowers of Dorothy Perkins. Entirely hardy. MRS. TAFT__An improved Baby Rambler, clear red in color, does not fade like the Baby Rambler. Beautiful. MRS. WM. CUTBUSH_of dwarf growth, producing in constant profusion flowers of pale pink, borne in huge trusses throughout the entire summer and autumn. Hardy. PHYLLIS—Considered by many to be the most popular of the Pink Baby Ramblers. The color is the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful carmine-pink. Grows to a height of two feet; very hardy; always in bloom; flowers are produced in continuous succession in large clusters. JESSIE—Of all the "Baby Ramblers," this new variety bids fair to outstrip the others in popularity. The flowers are of a brilliant crimson, much the color of a Richmond Rose and are borne in huge clusters from early in the season until frost. ORLEANS—The most attractive of all the Baby Ram- bler Roses. A very rapid grower, soon producing a bush resembling a huge bouquet of brilliant geranium- red flowers, suffused with rose, with a rosy-white cen- ter. YELLOW BABY RAMBLER_<^inii)nr in habit of growth to the other Baby Ramblers, but of a lemon-yellow. Makes a beautiful contrast with the others. Price of all Baby Rambler Roses offered on this page, except where noted, 15c each for strong one-year pot plants; 4 for 50c; larger size, 20c each: ^^ for SI.00; two- year-old plants, 40c each; S4.00 per dozen, by express.
