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 
heing 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 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. Procure them early and storein the cellar until your ground is ready 
for them. LIST OF MARIETIES:
