The New Climbing Rose "Yellow. Rambler" (Aglaia).
The new Yellow Rambler offered this season for the first time is a charming companion to the Crimson Rambler which has created such a sensation everywhere. In wood, foliage and growth it shows a marked resemblance and is supposed to be related to it. The flowers are a clear decided yellow, double and of moderate size; the bunches of flowers are pyramidal in shape and there are often as many as 150 in a bunch; it is a vigorous grower, but does not bloom quite as early as the Crimson Rambler; it makes up for this by the magnificence of the flowers when it does bloom. Small plants in 2½ in. pots $1.25 each.

Mrs. Shepherd's Little Midget or Baby Roses. The "Mother Goose" Set.
One feels like talking baby talk to these dear little things. The least little mites of plants bloom. They form pretty little bushes and grow from 12 to 15 inches high. The leaves are very small, and the flowers measure from 1 to 1½ inches across. They grow in clusters or sprays, and are beautiful for cut flower work, boquets, boutonniers, or hanging baskets.

Baby Bunting. The sweetest variety of all. Flowers are snowy-white, semi-double, with yellow stamen; 1 inch across.... 20c each, set of six for $1.00.

INCONSTANT BEAUTY. A wonderful new rose, derifing its name of “Inconstant Beauty” from its quality of producing flowers of different shades on the same plant. The colors vary from crimson to light pink, through shades of tawny red, orange-chrome and deep rose, all these colors being frequently seen on one bush at the same time. The beauty of color effects is indescribable. Plant strong and vigorous, flowers full and double. It is a true tea rose, consequently ever-blooming and deliciously fragrant. 25 cts. each.
