ROSES. 



It will be seen that this year we have changed the general arrangement of Roses, 

 placing them more in regard to their hardiness and blooming qualities, than botanical ly. 

 The Monthly or Ever-Blooming sorts, undoubtedly give better satisfaction than the Hy- 

 brid Perpetuals- 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, as their name would indicate, perpetually, giving only one profuse bloom in 

 June, and a partial bloom throughout the summer. 



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

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



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

 that have been grown in pots. 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 to leave the selection of varieties to us, as far as pos- 

 sible, not only as a rule getting better plants, but, besides, greater distinction of varieties.
