Roses 



See yon bush aflame tvith 

 roses!'' —Hajix. 



all plants grown in the garden, the Rose is outstanding. 



The Hybrid Tea Roses, when grown under favorable conditions, supply an 

 abundance of bloom from June until fall. There is hardly a garden where Roses 

 of some species may not be successfully grown. 



Our Roses, field grown for two years, come to you potted, ready to set out in 

 the garden in the spring and produce an abundance of bloom the same season. 

 Hardy climbing roses are the easiest roses of all to grow. They yield the most 

 spectacular returns for the little effort spent upon them. The older, small- 

 flowered kinds produce a mass of colorful bloom in early summer, and the 

 newer large-flowered varieties, are free bloomers, as exquisite as the Hybrid 

 Teas. They bud and bloom on splendid long stems for cutting. 



Our Rose Folder, offering all the new and the best of the old varieties, is issued 

 in the early spring and will be sent you upon request.
