leading specialty, and sell annually 
over half a million plants. We pay 
particular attention to their culture, so that 
our ROSES are famed for their thrifty con- 
dition; besides, we offer nothing but varie- 
ties of established merit and new sorts 
which have been thoroughly tested by us; 
hence we offer unequaled advantages to 
buyers of ROSES.

Facts to Remember about Roses... 
The hardy Roses, unless where it is so stated in the description, are not ever- 
blooming. They only produce one crop of flowers, in June, with an occasional 
bloomin autumn. This applies to climbing as well as bush Roses. 
The Tea or Monthly Roses are ever-blooming, but are not hardy in our 
Northern climate. 
The smallest size (the third) of our Roses, inthe Tea or Monthly section, will 
produce flowers the same season they are planted, but the larger plants (the first 
and second sizes) will give more bloom and flower earlier. 
The small size (the third) of the hardy Roses, both bush and climbing, will not 
bloom—unless in rare cases—the same season they are planted.
