Choice Shipping Roses 



We cut our flowers tight in the bud, as the majority of our trade is shipping. Flowers that 

 are sold mostly to the city trade are allowed to open more than for the shipping trade. 



Don't Forget to Buy Direct of the Grower. 



NEW BEAUTIES— Extra choica'stock— bast in this marlcet 



Rhea Reid — the best red rose 

 Mrs. Russell — the best pink rose 



Sunburst — the best yellow rose 



Double White Killarney — the best white rose 



Ophelia — Shawyer 



Then, in addition, we have the regular varieties of Roses in large quantities, receiving them direct 

 from the greenhouses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us to fill all orders with strictly 

 fresh stock. This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.
