ROSES FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES 159 



ROSES THAT CAN BE EASILY BOUGHT 



Of the thousands of roses that have been 

 introduced to our gardens, a great majority 

 are not known in the American trade to-day. 

 Some are not suited to the climate, others are 

 not sufficiently distinct from some others to 

 merit a place, or there may be reasons of a 

 trade nature why certain roses are not offered 

 to the amateur here. It is of interest to 

 know just what varieties may be ordered 

 with a reasonable certainty of having the 

 order filled without undue delay. The fol- 

 lowing list is compiled from the catalogues 

 of wholesale importers and the auction 

 sales lists. Rose specialists will be able to 

 supply others not named here, but these 

 are the roses in best actual demand:
