ROSES.— General Collection. 



All with but few exceptions are grown on their own roots, from cuttings of tbe 

 young wood; they are healthy plants, that have never been forced, and are grown in 

 pots to accommodate our sales during the months of April and May, when otherwise 

 they would be too late to remove from the open ground. 



We would here take occasion to state the great advantage to the buyer to get Roses 

 that have been grown in pois. The fact of their having been so grown in no way affects 

 their hardness, but, on the contrary, enables them to grow with vigor from the time 

 they are planted, while those lifted from the open; ground take half the Summer before 

 they commence to root, many of them dying outright. We never sell roses from the 

 open ground unless specially ordered, and never do so without warning the purchaser 

 of the risk of failure. 



Purchasers will always do better, so far as possible, to leave the selection of varieties 

 to us, not only as a rule getting better plants, but besides, greater distinction of varie- 

 ties.
