The "Excelsior" List of Ever-Blooming Roses 



New and Choice for Outdoor Planting or House Culture 



Price, 20 cents each, except where noted; two-year Plants, 40 cents each, except where noted. 



For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old plants, such as we send by mail, 

 bloom the first and each succeeding year from early spring until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion 

 of flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance; hardy everywhere in open 

 ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar materials. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses; the harvest of 

 bloom they give the first year compensates for the trifling outlay. Anyone can succeed with them.
