TEA AND MONTHI.Y OR E\ ER BI.OOMING ROSES. 



This class of Eoses are nearly all hai-dy south of Washington, and even in the Northern States thej' can be kept through the winter 

 out-of-doors, if protected by a covering of three or four inches of dry leaves. This covering should not be put on until the end of Novem- 

 ber, as the slight frosts which we may have before that date will do no injury. The Ever-blooming Roses are deservedly the most popular, 

 as their delicious fragrance, delicate tints of color, easy culture aud 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 verj' lowest. Size. — Our smallest Eoses are grown in 

 3-inch pots, and are far larger than those ordinarily sent out by the trade, Avhich ai-e usually from 2io-inch pots. 



Although we do not offer as long a list of varieties of Eoses as some, yet our stock in quality, condition and extent is unequaled, and 

 we contend that our customers are safer in selecting from our list of choice tested varieties than if we offered a long list, which would of 

 necessity contain many inferior sorts. See prices at end of list.
