Rosa setigera, 



PRAIRIE ROSE. 



Garden and Forest, August iSth, 1S97, page 320, says : " Rosa setigera has been described so often that it 

 is unnecessary to do more than to refer again to ils many good qualities, its hardiness and rapid growth, its 

 freedom from the attacks of the insects which disfigure so many Roses, and the charm of its lovely pink flowers, 

 which open about the middle of July, when the flowering time of most Roses is passed." 



This uncommon plant has been propagated in our nurseries for many years. We aim to keep everything in the way of 



New & Rare Ornamental Trees, Shrubs & Vines. 



New descriptive, illustrated catalogue mailed for six cents in stamps. A unique feature in our catalogue 

 is that trees of all sizes are priced, from small seedling plants to large and well-developed ones, for immediate 

 effect, and for single specimens or for large quantities.
