PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



TEA OR EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. 



This class of Roses are nearly all hardy south of Washing- 

 ton, and even in the Northern States they can be kept through 

 the winter, out of doors, if protected by a covering of 3 or 4 

 inches of dry leaves. This covering should not be put on until 

 the end of November, as the slight frosts which we niay have be- 

 fore that date will do no injury. The Ever-blooming Roses are 

 deservedly the most popular, as their delicious fragrance, deli- 

 cate tints of color, easy culture and wonderful profusion of 

 bloom make the humblest garden beautiful. The soil for roses 

 ■can scarcely be made too rich. The richer the soil the larger the 

 "buds, and the more of them you will get. Quality.— Every plant 

 we send out will do well with ordinary care, and our prices 

 are the very lowest. Size.— Our smallest roses are grown in 3-inch 

 pots, and are far larger than those ordinarily sent out by the 

 trade, which are usually from 2 % inch pots. Our large roses are 

 absolutely beyond competition in quality and price.
