Crimson Rambler, Tin- wnmlerful climbing Rose, introduced some twelve years ago, has made a record for itself equalied liy no other Rose. Every season it gains in popularity, and it ap- pears destined to remain at the head of the list of Lardy climbing Roses. It is a vigorous grower, mak- ing shoots 10 to 20 feet in height in a single season, and when in bloom com- mands admiration by the gorgeous display of its brilliant crimson clusters of blossoms, each cluster a bouquet in itself. Up- wards of 15,000 blossoms have been produced by a single plant. This mar- velous jirodigaliiy is not unusual with it, as it suc- ceeds everywhere.

The trusses are made up of from 30 to 40 flowers, and frequently 50 to 60 flowers on the stronger branches; a decided acquisition, and a Rose worthy of as extensive planting as the Crimson Rambler, to which it is an excelle
