ARRANGEMENT. 



iVe divide the Rose Department of the Catalog-ue into two divisions. 



Division 1. Sunimer Koses, or those "which bloom in June and July only. This includes the Ayrshire, 

 Eianksia, Prairie, Austrian, Damask, French, Provence, Hybrid China or Gallica, and Moss classes. 



Division 2. Perpetual or Autiunnal Roses, or those which bloom more than once iu one season ; many of 

 them bloom at intervals from May to November, notably the Teas, Hybrid Teas and some of the Bom-bons. This 

 divisioQ includes the Boui-bon, Bengal, Noisette, Tea, Perpetual Moss, Polyantha, Hybrid Tea, Hybrid Perpetual, 

 Hybrid Noisette and Eugosa classes. 



In each class some superior varieties for g'eneral cultivation will be found printed in C APITAXS. These are 

 commended to Inexperienced amateurs, as being of good constitution and the most desirable in limited collections. 



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

PRICES OF ROSES. 



LARGE PLANTS BY EXPRESS. 

 Single plants, the price set after each variety. 

 Vaeieties pkiced at 50 cts. EACH— $4 per doz., $25 per 100. 



All large planters who have not bought of us are urged to visit our grounds and see the quahty 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 caUed 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. Plants that are false to name, or are constitutionally of weak growth and sickly habit, ai-e dear at 

 any price. . 



SMALL PLANTS BY MAIL. 



Grown in 2^ and 3-inch pots will be sui)]ilicil at half the price asked for the larger plants. 



VARIETIES THAT CANNOT BE SENT BY MAIL. 



There are a number of varieties which propagate from cuttings with so much difliculty, some of them utterly 

 refusing to grow, that to save our customers disappointment, we have found it necessary to append a list of all 

 such. Henceforth, these varieties can only be obtained as budded plants sent by express; we have none to send by 

 mail, and all parties desu-ing plants by mail will please consult this list before sending their order.
