5° THOMAS MEEHAN & SONS YELLOW RAMBLER ROSE. (Aglaia.) As a creamy-yellow rose, we can heartily recommend this climber, being thoroughly hardy and a vigorous grower. The foliage is broad and effective. The parents of this rose are said to be one of the Japanese Polyantha type and Reve d'Or, the latter a famous climbing tea rose, very popular in Europe. It bears clusters of fair-sized flowers in great quantities. We wish to particularly commend our pot-grown stock of this and other climbing plants, with which we have taken great pains to grow thrifty, well- rooted plants. By using this, plants may be set out at any season of the year that the ground is open.

Extra strong from 4 in. pots, $ 50 each $3 50 per 10 $25 CO per 100 South Orange Perfection, This is a gem, with free growth close to the ground and multitudes of the most perfectly formed double white flowers, about one and a half inches in diameter soft blush pink at the tips, changing to white. From 4 in pots $ 50 each S3 50 per 10 Pink Roamer. This is without question a hybrid between the Wichuraiana and "Sweet Brier."
