 important specialties, our stock this 

 season is again in prime condition, 

 more extensive than ever, with a 

 complete assortment of both stand- 

 ard varieties and novelties.

Our Roses are all field grown 

 plants which were dug in the fall, 

 and which during the winter 

 months were potted into 5 and 6 

 inch pots. They are stored in cold 

 houses and frames, being retarded 

 as much as possible, and are just 

 the sort of stock that will please

 carry also nearly all other types. ■
