THE YELLOW RAMBLER "AGLATA." Crimson Rambier. Another season's trial fully justi- fies all the praise that has been given it in the past. Wherever seen during the past summer it has been a mass of rich, glowing crimson, and everyone who has it is delighted with it. Perfectly hardy; won- derfully free flowering; intensely bright and vivid in color. The plant is a strong, rampant grower, making shoots 10 to 12 feet long in a season when well established. The flowers are produced ;rc large trusses, pyramidal in shape, often 35 to 40 in a cluster, fairly covering the plant from the ground to the top with a mass of bright, glowing crimson. The color is simply superb, and is retained unfaded. or without showing any of the purplish tinge so often seen in dark roses, fcr an unusual length of time. For walls, pillars and porches, or any other place w here a hardy climbing rose is wanted, noth- ing can be more desirable or beautiful. If grown in beds and pegged down, it makes a brilliant dis- play with its profusion of bloom, large clusters shooting out from each joint. As many as 300 blooms have been counted on a single branch. 15c, 4 for 50c. Large plants 40c. Yellow RcimMor. (Aglaia.) The only yel- low hardy climbing rose. It has been thoroughly tested and found to success- fully withstand without protection a continued temperature of zero and below. It is similar to Crimson Rambler in manner of blooming, the flowers being in immense clusters and having the same lasting qualities, remaining in bloom three to four w?eks. The plant is even freer in growth than Crimson Rambler, and soon makes a fine, showy specimen. 15c, 4 for 50c. Large plants 40c. White Rambler. (Thalia.) In habit of growth, foliage, manner of blooming and shape of flower this is identical with C. Rambler, differing only in color, which in Thalia is pure, clear white. 15c, 4 for 50c. Large plants 50c. One each of the 3 Ramblers for 40c. Large 2 year plants $1.00 GENERAL COLLECTION OF TEA AND EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. Agrippina. (China.)
