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



The "Excelsior" List of Ever-Blooming Roses 



New and Choice for Outdoor Planting or House Culture 



Price, 30 cents each; any three of your own selection for 50 cents. We have no two-year-old Roses to offer 



this fall. Will have plenty in our Spring book. 



For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old plants, 

 such as we send hy 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 protec- 

 tion 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 far the trifling outlay. Anyone can succeed with them.
