22 THE C. A. REESER CO., SEEDSMEN AND FLORISTS. THE NEW JAPANESE RAMBLER (CLIMBING) "CHERRY BLOSSOM" ROSES. This grand family of Roses improves upon acquaintance—the better they are known the more popular they become. We have occasionally to modify opinions formed of the value of new Roses, but the " Crimson Rambler " is one that we offer to our customers, after an extended trial, with greater confidence in its merits. It came to this country heralded as a-wonder among flowers, but the most extravagant praises yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it ample justice. It is adapted to the entire country, and should be in every garden in America, be it large or small. PSVCHE--The New Pink Rambler. For extended description, see page 5. Price, 15c each. New Crimson Rambler. The plant is of very vigorous growth, making shoots from eight to ten feet during the season, rendering it a charming pillar Ruse. It is also magnificent in bush form, and for covering build- iags, trellises, etc., it canuot be excelled. The flowers are pro- duced in great pyramidal panicles or trusses, each' carrying from thirty to forty blooms, the indi- vidual flowers measuriug about one and one-half inches in diame- ter. It is covered with flowers from the ground to the very top. It is hardy in every latitude yet tried as far north as the lakes. We can recommend tbis novelty in the strongest manner as being a new Rose of great importance and v.ilue. A correspondent writes: " With me' this Rose is grand. I imvea tozen large plants on pre- pared land or turf. I did not ))rune much, merely shorteiiing r)ackand p^lacing stakes to support the long growths. I gave a liberal mulch early in the Spring, with tfie result that the growths are very strong, and the clusters of bright crimson flowers at this date are beautiful. On one shoot alone I counted over three hundred blooms." Two year old plants, when potted early, and for Easter, make beautiful decorative plants, and readily retail from $2.50 to $10.00 each in the cities. Price, lO cents eacb, 3 tor 25 cents, 15 for $1.00, net; large two year old plants, 50 cents eacb. New Pink Rambler. (EUPHROSYNE.) The Pink Rambler completes the entire range of cardinal colors tbat can be embraced in these beautiful Climbing Roses. We now have the Crimson, Yellow, White and Pink Rambler. This Rose is as charming as any of its rivals, and embraces all their good qualities. Price, 10 cents eacb; two year old plants, 50 cents. New White Rambler. (THAliIA.) This charming new Rose of the Rambler variety is a wonder. Climbs rapidly, is entirely hardy, produces immense clusters of pure white Roses, perfectly double, of delightful fragrance, and of an immaculate white. It is with- out question the best Climbing Rose extant. Price, 10 cents eacb; large two year old plants, 50 cents. New Golden Yellow Rambler. (AlilSTER STELLA OR AT.) New Climbing Rose of decided merit, classed by mauy as belonging to the Rambler section of Roses. We know it to be a grand Rose, and have tested its hardness. You will make no mistake in buying it, as you will have a grand, free-blooming climbing yellow Rose. Is a continuous bloomer, laden with bunches of Polvanthlike buds of orange yellow. Price, lo cents eacb; larg-e two year old plants, 50 cents eacb. Yellow Rambler. (AGIiAIA.) Inasmuch as this is the only hardy Yellow Climbing Rose in cultivation, it is perhaps a more important introduction than its renowned rela- tive. Crimson Rambler, with which it is identical with the exception of the flowers, which are deep golden yellow. This is sufficient guarantee of its great value. It is a notable fact that we have no hardy Yellow Climbing Rose. This feature alone makes it an almost indispensable variety. The habit of growth is more vigorous and better than Crimson Rambler. It is entirely free from mildew and kindred diseases; it blooms with great freedom, bearing large pyramidal trusses of golden-yellow flowers, which are cup-shaped, nearly full and very sweet- scented. As many as 120 to 150 flowers are frequently seen on the same shoot. With us it stood, unprotected and uninjured, a continual temperature of from zero to twelve below. A grand Rose that has no equal. Price, 10 cents, 3 for 25 cents, 15 for $1.00, net; larg^e two year old plants^ 50 cents eacb New Rambler, Helene. A strong, rapid grower, throwing up canes 10 to 12 feet high, and making a well- formed bush in a single season. In growth and habit it is similar to Crimson Rambler, but the foliage is better, and it is almost thornless. It is entirely hardy and needs no protection. The flowers are larger and more double than Crimson Rambler, and borne in magnificent clusters, entirely covering the bushes from top to bottom, for weeks at a time. The color is soft, rosy red, base of petals yellowish white, while the anthers and pistils are pure yellow, rising boldly from the flower. Onr price is 15 cents eacb, 8 for $1.00, postpaid; two year old plants, 50 cents eacb. SPECIAL OFFER—Tbe SEVEX RAittBLER ROSES, all different colors, for only 60 cents; large two year old plants, tbe
