PLANT SECTION 



Some firms are sending out mailing size roses that are hardly more than rooted cuttings; we do 

 not handle that kind; our plants are grown in 3-inch pots, are strong and vigorous and ready to bloom at 

 onc€. These ara sent to you postpaid at the prices quoted. It will be better, however, for you to have them 

 come by express, as all the soil can then be left on the roots, which is a great advantage. 



Our two-year Roses were all in bloom last summer, and are wintered outdoors, where they have an 

 entire rest; these are not like the exhausted hot-house plants sold by some; they go by express at yoiir 

 expense at the price given.

Tea Roses 



This class of Roses is distinguished 

 by a delicate tea fragrance and an ab- 

 solutely ever-blooming habit. Most 

 varieties are not so hardy as the Hy- 

 brid Tea class, but they may be car- 

 ried through the winter even in the 

 Northern States with careful protection, 

 banking up with soil probably being 

 the most satisfactory method. The 

 Cochet varieties are nearly or quite 

 as hardy as the Hybrids. Price of all 

 Tea Roses; 1-year mailing size, 20 cts.; 

 strong 2-year plants, 50 cts.

Hybrid Perpetual 

 Roses 



Price; Strong mailing size, 20 cts.; 

 heavy 2-year plants, 50 cts. 



Roses of this class are perhaps the 

 most valuable for permanent planting, 

 since they are perfectly hardy, show 

 the greatest size of flower and bush, 

 and make the most vigorous growth. 

 Although they are called Hybrid Per- 

 petuals, they produce a great number 

 of blooms in their season and then give 

 only scattered blooms until fall, except 

 in the case of a few varieties which 

 have a second season of beauty near 

 the end of the growing period. For 

 those who desire to plant a rose that 

 will last a lifetime, the Hybrid Per- 

 petual is recommended. As a rule they 

 do not require winter protection, and 

 once planted they increase in size for 

 years with ordinary care.

 son.

These are the Roses of our grand- 

 mother's days, but on account of their 

 sterling qualities they are still popu- 

 lar and are worthy of planting in any 

 garden. The range of color is consid- 

 erable, and their absolute hardiness, 

 ease of culture, fragrance and adapta- 

 bility to adverse conditions make them 

 popular and valuable varieties.
