ARRANGEMENT 



We divide the Rose Department of the Catalogue into two divisions : 



Division 1. Summer Roses, or those which bloom in June and July only. This includes the Ayr- 

 shire, Climbing Polyantha, or Ramblers, Prairie, Wichuriana, Austrian, Moss, Hybrid Sweet Briars, 

 Damask, Provence and Hybrid China or Gallica classes. 



Division 2. Perpetual or Autumnal Roses, or those which bloom more than once in one season ; 

 many of them bloom at intervals from May to November, notably the Teas and Hybrid Teas. This 

 division includes the Dwarf Polyantha, Hybrid Tea, Hybrid Perpetual, Hybrid Noisette and Rugosa 

 classes. 



Whenever known, we give the raiser's name and the year when the variety was sent out.

All large planters who have not bought of us are urged to visit our grounds and see the quality of 

 the plants we offer; we are sure they will be convinced of the superiority of our stock, and that the best 

 are the cheapest. 



Particular attention is called to the care we have always exercised in keeping our stock true to 

 name, and also that, with a very few exceptions, separately noted, we grow those sorts only that are 

 thoroughly distinct, and of healthy habit.
