Ever=Blooming 



Bourbon and China Roses 



This is a class of Roses that no real Rose lover can afford to miss; some of them are particularly 

 famous for the large size, beauty and brilliant colors of blossoms. Blooms freely, flowering not only once, 

 but all Summer through. As a class they are moderately hardy and if protected should live out over 

 Winter in this latitude. They like rich soil and should be pruned closely Do not hesitate to cut all the 

 blossoms you wish; such treatment is good for the plants and encourages more bloom.

Gentlemen: — * * * The knowledge (that all of the 

 patrons I secured for Rose orders are jubilant over their 

 purchases) enhances that pleasure more than ever. 



Not one of them has the scintilla of a complaint and 

 that fact measures up strong for future orders for your 

 house. 



In fact, the reports show that many of the Rose bushes 

 are already budded for blossoming. The selection of 

 Roses I ordered are doing magnificently and will soon 

 burst into bloom. 



They are sturdy, vigorous bushes for year-old plants, 

 and when they attain maturity will be a marvel of 

 beauty. J. W. L — , Detroit, Mich.
