The New If ares yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it ample justice. At every exhibition throughout Great Britain, where it was shown, it received the high- est honors, and this opinion was indorsed. The National Rose So- ciety of England, the National Horticultural Society of France and the International Exposition awarded gold medals to Crimson Rambler. It is of rapid, vigorous growth ; plants in our grounds attained a height of fifteen feet the past season. The flowers are produced in trusses, pyramidal in shape, good specimens measuring nine inches from base to tip and seven inches across, fairly covering the plant from the grouud to the top, so that it is a mass 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. A correspond- ent of the "London Garden" stated that on one shoot he counted over three hundred blooms. It is essentially a garden Rose, but makes a magnificent specimen in pot or tub. II is adapted to the entire country. Price, 10 cents each ; large size, 35 cents each. The Pink Rambler (Euphrosyne)—Identical with Crim- son Rambler in growth, hardiness and richness of bloom. The color of flower is pure shiny Rose; the half-opened bud brilliant light carmine. This beautiful variety is distinct and fully the equal of Crimson Rambler in every way. All the Ramblers grouped together will make a beautiful contrast. Prioe, 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 35 cents each. The White Rambler (Thalia)—A blood relation to Crim- son Rambler. The habit of growth, manner of blooming and form of flowers is identical with that grand variety. The flowers are superb, pure white in color, and are produced in splendid large clusters of the same distinct pyramidal form found in no other fam- ily of Roses, an<i being absolutely hardy, it is the highest type of a white climbing Rose yet introduced. The flowers are sweetly scented and remain on the bush for weeks. This additional charm is bound to make it unusually popular. Price, 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 35 cents each. Golden Rambler (Allister Stella Gray)-In habit of growth and profusion of bloom this is similar to the famous Crim- son Rambler. It is a vigorous grower and blooms profusely both early and late. The straw and orange yellow flowers, of small size, are borne in large, handsome clusters—a big bouquet in each clus- ter. Price, 15 cent* each, 2 lor 25 cents ; large two-year- old plants, 35 cents each. The Jfew Perfectly Hardy Yellow Climbing Rose, Yellow Rambler—Withstanding Zero Weather With Impunity.—The flowers are borne in immense clusters, after the same manner as the Crimson Rambler, often as many as 150 bios-' soms in a bunch, and the trusses have the same handsome pyram- idal .shape as those of Crimson Rambler. Many Roses which are described as yellow have really only a creamy tinge. Yellow Earn- bier is a clear, decided yellow. Fiowers of moderate size, borne in laree clusters, often bearing from 120 to 150 flowers in a cluster, very sweetly scented. Flowers last 3 to 4 weeks without fading, and a large bush in full bloom is one ( f the most beautiful and magnifi- cent sights imagiuable. The habit of growth is very vigorous, well- established plants often making shoots of from 8 to 10 feet in height in a single sen son. It is bound to attain great popularity. Buy the only real hardy yellow Climbing Rose known at the pres- ent time. Price, 15 cents each, 2 for 25 cents; two - year - old i»lants, 35 cents each.
