ROSES, SEEDS, AND BULBS FOR 1894. 



Beautiful Ever=blooming Roses. 



THE QUEEN OF FLOWERS. 



These beautiful Roses are highly valued for their constant and profuse 

 fragrance, and exquisite colors, including all the lovely Tea shades so greatly 



My Roses are all cold gro-wn on their ow^n 

 roots in pots, and are therefore the most 

 thrifty and vigorous plants it is possible to 

 have. They do well in all ordinary situations, and 

 can be safely planted at any time during the growing 

 season. They begin to bloom very quickly, and 

 continue bearing lovely buds and flowers all through 

 the summer and fall. No special treatment is re- 

 quired except to pick the flowers before they fade, 

 so as to make room for more. Though not entirely 

 hardy, they can frequently be kept over winter by 

 covering with leaves or straw, but are so easily and 

 cheaply replaced that it usually pays best to get 

 them new and fresh every year. They are the most 

 beautiful of all flowers. 



EVER=BLOOMINQ ROSES OF SPECIAL 

 INTEREST. 



These splendid varieties are recommended as 

 among the most beautiful and valuable constant- 

 blooming Roses now in cultivation ; prices are a little 

 higher than for more plentiful sorts, but really very 

 low considering the value of the varieties and the 

 excellent quality of the plants we send. All lovers 

 of beautiful roses should have some or all of these 

 magnificent kinds. They are noted for their exqui- 

 site coloring and delicious fragrance, and also for 

 their constant and abundant bloom.
