"Excelsior" List of Ever-Blooming Roses 



New and Choice — for Outdoor Planting or House Culture 



Price, 10 cents each; any six of your own selection for 50 cents; any thirteen for $1.00. If you leave the 

 selection of the varieties to us. we will send" seven for .">0 cents, or sixteen for $1.00. Large two- 

 year-old Roses from this list, 30 cents each, or four 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 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.
