LOUISVILLE, AT. 17 Hardy Climbing Roses. EMPRESS OP CHINA. This is a new elimbng rose of the greatest excellence. It was brought into this country by a gentleman from Cuba, who says of it that it commences to bloom in May, and is load- ed with its elegant blooms until December. Think of it! There is no other rose like it that will bloom for so long a time. This has -been the great objection to climbing roses that they bloom once and then are done. But here we have a rose that blooms continuously for over sev- • en months of the year. It is simply wonderful. When it first opens the flowers are a beautiful red, but soon turn to a lovely light pink, and it blooms so pro- fusely as to almost hide the plant. It is perfectly hardy, and is a vigorous grower. Don't fail to try this beautiful rose, as it will please you. 10 cents each; larger size, 25 to 50 cents each. MARY WASHINGTON. This famous hardy climbing rose is one of the most valuable sorts that has been introauced for many years. A hardy perpetual blooming climber has long been needed. Its flowers are medium sized, pure white, perfectly double to the center; sweet, and borne in endless numbers all summer. It is a vigor- ous and rapid grower and must at once become a general favorite. It makes a great profusion of fine buds, which are borne on long stems and usually in large clusters. 15 cents each; larger size, 25 to 50 cents ejicli PINK RAMBLER. (Euphro- syne.) Originated by the same gentleman who pro- duced White Rambler. Mr. Peter Lambert, and is of the same blood. What is said of White Rambler ap- plies to this, except tLe color of the flowers is pure shiny rose—the partially open buds being bright, light carmine, thus pro- ducing a strong and pleas- ing contrast. "The nu- merous yellow stamens lend an additional charm to the flower. In hardiness, freedom of bloom, form and color o'f flowers and vigorous climbing habit, this variety is fully the equal of Crim- son Rambler." CLIMBING PERLE DES JARDINS, Identical with Perle des Jardins, except that it is a vigorous climber, a grand addition to our roses. It will rank with the very best. Each, 15 cents; large plants, 25 to 50 cents each. THE YELLOW RAMBLER. (Aglaia.) The advent of the Yellow Rambler marks a very important epoch in the rose world. It was originated by the prominent rose grower, Mr. Peter Lambert, who has carefully tested it for some eight years, and first offered it to the public only this last season. Its production is a great triumph in the art of hybridizing. The Yellow Rambler has been found to successfully withstand, without protection, a continued temperature of from zero to two degrees be- low, which proves it to be far hardier than any other

Empress of China. yellow climbing rose yet introduced, and we believe that by laying the plants down in the winter it can be successfully grown anywhere that other roses succeed at all well. The flowers are borne in immense clusters, after the same manner of the Crimson Rambler, often as many as one hundred and fifty blossoms in a bunch, and the trusses have the same handsome pyramidal shape as those of the Crimson Rambler. The color is a decided yellow. Many roses, which are described as yellow have really only a creamy tinge, but the Yellow Rambler is clear, decided yellow. The flowers are very sweet scented. The habit of growth is very vigorous, well established plants often making shoots of from eight to ten feet in height in a single season. The plants do not bloom at quite so early an age as the Crimson Rambler, but as snon as well established, they more than make up for this by the magnificence of the flow- ers they produce.
