Rosa setigera, 



PRAIRIE ROSE. 



Garden and Forest, August iSth, 1897, page 320, says : " Rosa seligera has been described so often that it 

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

 freedom from the attacks of (he insects which disfigure so many Roses, and the charm ot 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 k Rare Ornamental Trees, Shrubs k 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.

"The novice or amateur fond of 

 flowers (and who is not?), knowing 

 little or nothing of the gardener's 

 art, finds in this periodical constant 

 guidance and instruction conveyed 

 in a popular form." — Philadelphia 

 Ledger. 



" A magazine that those inter- 

 ested in the subject of gardening 

 cannot well afford to be without." — 

 Boston Herald. 



A twenty-paged magazine of intelligent and practical horticulture, Wild Flowers and kindred 

 subjects. Illustrated with copper and wood engravings . Each issue contains a beautiful 

 colored plate of a Wild Flower or Fern, engraved and printed by Prang & Co. 

 expressly for this work. 

 Meehans' Monthly contains practical and general information on all horti- 

 cultural subjects, the care and culture of trees, shrubs, hardy plants, fruits and vege- 

 tables. The chapters on Wild Flowers and Botany are written in such a simple form 

 that the amateur has no difficulty in gleaning information on a subject that hereto- 

 fore has only been open to the student of Botany. 



It is not a work catering to an idle hour and then to be thrown aside. As a 

 volume for the library it is equal to the best works on botanical and general horticul- 

 tural subjects, and, as such, it has a value far beyond the usual monthly magazines. 



Subscription price, $2 per year ; St for 6 months. Sample copies free. 

 In club with new subscription to Garden and Forest for one year for $5.
