DORMANT KOBE, SHOWING HOW PLANTING AND PRUNING 

 ABE DONE. 



Prune when planted and as shown on dotted lines. 



MADAME PLANTIER. 



This grand old variety is second only to "Gen. Jacqueminot" in general useful- 

 ness. As a cemetery Rose it is still without a rival. The flowers are borne in 

 the greatest profusion, and are of the purest white. Hardy as an oak and certain to- 

 grow as grass, it is not to be wondered at that it still holds its own against all comers. 

 Price, strong plants for this season's blooming, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 



HARDY YELLOW ROSE, 



"PERSIAN YELLOW." 



Dark golden yellow. The best variety of its color; entirely hardy. It is difficult 

 to imagine a finer sight than this when in full bloom, covered with its bright yellow 

 blooms, which are borne along the ripened wood so that they appear in sprays. It 

 must not be pruned much, if any, unless to cut 

 out dead or diseased branches, 

 plants, $1.00 each; 2d size, 75c. 



HARDY DORMANT ROSES. 



All grafted low on Brier stocks. 



FOR the first 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 15th; 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 illus- 

 tration 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 express. Procure them early and store in the cellar until your 

 ground is ready for them.

SFECIAL LOW OFFER.— 15 Monthly or lO Hardy Roses for $1.00. This offer is made specially for the benefit 

 of our customers who live far from express offices and usually get plants by mail. At this low rate the selection of varieties must be 

 left entirely to us when the order is filled, and we cannot supply a schedule of sorts beforehand. Leaving the selection to us allows 

 us to send very frequently new and scarce sorts which may be in a surplus with us. If wanted by express, buyer to pay charges, we 

 can send larger and finer plants and will leave all the soil on the roots. If desired, will send 7 Monthly and 5 Hardy Roses for $1.00.
