— Our 
Leading 
\ \ )¥ have for years made ROSES our leading specialty, and 
; sell annually over half a million plants. We pay particu- 
lar attention to their culture, so that our ROSES are 
} famed for their thrifty condition; besides, we offer nothing but 
varieties of established merit and new sorts which have been thoroughly 
tested by us; hence we offer unequaled advantages to buyers of ROSES. 
QUR CLAIM: THE SIZE OF OUR ROSES. 
We claim that we send out larger and finer 
Roses than any other firm in the business. Our smallest size is larger than 
the plants usually sent out by the mailing trade throughout the country, and 
- our cold system-of growing Roses makes them infinitely better. 
We grow our Roses in different sizes. This gives purchasers the oppor- 
tunity of procuring a plant of large size which will make a show at once, or 
smaller plants at prices which place them within the reach of all. Our 
Roses are graded as follows: First size are usually 15 to 20 inches high and 
branched; second size, 10 to 15 inches; and third size, 5 to 10 inches.

We will send, free of charge, to any one ordering Roses, 
IH our pamphlet of instructions on ‘‘THE GARDEN CULTURE OF wi 
THE ROSE.” This gives in a concise manner the principles °) 
of Rose culture in the Garden. (

Facts to Remember about Roses, The hardy Roses, un- 
ess where it is so 
stated in the description, are not ever blooming. They only produce one 
crop of flowers, in June, with an occasional bloom in autumn. This applies 
to climbing as well as bush Roses. 
The Tea or Monthly Roses are ever blooming, but are not hardy in our 
Northern climate. 
The smallest size (the third) of our Roses, in the Tea or Monthly section, 
will produce flowers the same season they are planted, but the larger plants 
will flower more and earlier. 
The small size (the third) of the hardy Roses, both bush and climbing 
rarely bloom the same season they are planted. : 
IMPORTANT. The monthly or ever-blooming sorts undoubtedly 
* give better satisfaction than the Hybrid Perpet- 
uals—flowering continually—but, not being hardy north of Maryland, require 
protection (which is best done by covering the roots in December with 
leaves or coarse litter, to about six inches in depth). The Hybrid Perpetuals 
are perfectly hardy, but do not bloom perpetually, as the name would indi- 
cate, giving only one profuse bloom in June and a partial bloom afterward.
