ROSES. 



The list offered comprises all the distinct 

 and really valuable shades. Many sorts have 



been left out, not because they are of no value 

 but that the sorts listed are superior 



in size, hardiness, vigor, productive- 

 ness, or some other characteristic 



that is necessary to make a good Rose. 

 Varieties marked with an " * " are 



grown on their own roots. This 



class of stock gives much better 



satisfaction to the general planter 



than budded or grafted plants ; how- 

 ever, some of the finest varieties will 



not produce good plants on their own 



roots. In such cases we offer the 



l)est low-budded stock obtainable, 



preference being given to home- 

 grown stock budded on Manetti, 



which is the most desirable for our 



climate. Care should be taken in 



planting budded stock to set out 



deeply, planting them at least two 



inches below the point where budded, 



which prevents the stock from suck- 



ering to a very great extent.
