MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 7 



The "Excelsior" List of Everblooming Roses 



New and Choice — for Outdoor Planting or House Culture 



Price, 10 cents eaeh; three for 25 cents; any seven of your own selection for 50 cents; any fifteen lor $1.00. If you 

 leave the selection of the varieties to us, we will send nine for 50 cents, or twenty for $1.00. Large two-year-old 

 Roses from this list, 25 cents each, or Ave for $1.00. 



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 exquisrte 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 trilling outlay. Ariyone can succeed with them.
