OR the fourth time we offer dor- 
mant Roses; this is to satisfy 
a demand from many custom- |

outside early in spring, before it is 
safe to set out plants that are grow-

in full leaf. The illustration shows 
the character of the plants we supply ; 
also the method of planting and prun- 
ing them after being planted. We can 
supply these from the time this catalogue

where the true Rose joins the Brier stock, and will eventually become estab- 
lished on their own roots. The great value of these budded Roses lies in the 
fact that they produce better flowers and make stronger plants in a shorter 
period than those grown from cuttings; and the advantage is that having no 
soil on the roots and being dormant, they are of little weight and can be sent 
cheaply by express. Buy early and store in cellar until ground is ready.
