I^ARBY BORMANT R6SES. 



A-ll grafted, low on Srier stocks. 



>OR the second time we offer dormant Roses ; this is to satisfy a demand 

 from many customers for plants that can be planted outside early in 

 spring, before it is safe to set out plants that are growing in pots, 

 and consequently are in full leaf. The illustration shows the character of 

 the plants we supply ; also the method of planting and pruning them after 

 being planted. We can supply these from the time this catalogue is issued 

 up to April ijt/iy after that time they can only be supplied from pots, at the 

 prices quoted at the end of the list. If planted as shown in the illustration, 

 these Roses, although grafted, will emit roots where the true Rose joins 

 the Brier stock, and will eventually become established on their own roots. 

 The great value of these grafted 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 ex- 

 press or freight. Procure them early and store in a cool place until the 

 ground is ready for them.
