Hardy Climbing; and Rambler Roses. Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, a cross between Caroline Testout and an unnamed seedling; it is of strong climbing habit, with large, heavy, dark green foliage, which is immune to disease. The flowers are double, from 3'. to 4 inches in diameter, borne singly and in clusters, of perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully expanded flower; in color a most refreshing bright wild-rose pink. Crimson Rambler. This was the first of the Rambler Roses, and was introduced from Japan in 1894. It is too well known to require description. Everyone is familiar with its large clusters of crimson flowers. Excelsa. A distinct variety in form, color and habit; vigorous in growth, with healthy dark, glossy green foliage. The flowers are very double, produced in large trusses of thirty to forty, and almost every eye on a shoot produces clusters of flowers. The color is intense crimson-maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The individual flowers are very large for a climbing Rose, being similar to those of the Gene- ral Jacqueminot, only the petals are of a more loose form.

There is no other climbing Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated.

In color it is brilliant; ruby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of golden
