Jackson Dawson has again a pretty lot of Crimson Ramblers in -t-inch and 5-inch pots, nicely bloomed for Easter. These were grafted on multiflora roots January 9 and potted January 16. Each makes a shapely little plant with two to three fine trusses of bloom, such as any florist might sell at Easter in large quantities at a low price and make money on.

One, a cross between Wichuraiana and Crimson Rambler, bears abundant trusses of bloom, each truss having thirty or more large single pink flowers, the habit of the plant being that of Wichuraiana. Min- nie Dawson, which is practically a double flowered multiflora, is also blooming beautifully.
