A number of these were offered in last year's Catalogue, but our stock being limited 

 of many of them, the prices were such as prevented many from purchasing. All we 

 offered last year, are now offered quite low, and the new varieties this year, which we 

 offer for the first time, are reduced to the lowest rates that our stock will permit of. All 

 plants are now ready to ship unless otherwise specified. 



ROSES, FIGURED IN COLORED PLATE. 



Madame Margottin, yellow and rose.

 Above are descriptions, but they are probably best described by the colored plate en- 

 closed with this catalogue. This set of twelve Roses are, with three or four exceptions, 

 new varieties, and the whole have been selected as a dozen varieties having the greatest 

 contrast in color, combining at the same time, free flowering qualities, either for summer 

 or winter blooming. They are mostly Tea Roses, and are consequently ever-blooming. 

 We have never before sent out any set of plants represented by a colored chromo that we 

 think will be so satisfactory as this set of twelve ever-blooming Roses. We may state, 

 when not wanted for winter flowering, that a covering of six inches of dry leaves or straw 

 aro- i the roots, put on in December, will preserve them through the winter in the 

 Northern States ; in most of the Southern States they will be hardy without covering. 



First size, price $1 50 each, $12 per set of 12; second size, price $1 00 each, $9 per 

 set of 12 ; third size, 75 cents each, $6 per set of 12. 



Sent by mail when so desired at above rates, but better plants can always be sent by 

 express.
