feet from the ground, and thus form beautiful Rose Trees. These 400 

 varieties can therefore be furnished of either of the descriptions named. 

 The prices, it will be perceived, are lower than they have ever before been 

 offered to the public, and from these prices the following discounts are 

 also made. Where a dozen plants are ordered, 15 percent.; where 25 

 plants are ordered, 20 per cent. ; where 50 to 100 plants, each different, 

 are ordered, 25 per cent. ; and to such Nurseries as purchase an assort- 

 ment of a hundred or more to re-vend, consisting of two or more of a 

 kind, 33 per cent, ; and where a still larger quantity is desired, the terms 

 -will be arranged on the most liberal basis, it being our determination that 

 our correspondents shall find a great advantage in prices in their deal- 

 ings with us, as well as in other respects. We therefore particularly 

 urge those who wish large supplies to communicate fully with us on the 

 subject, as we will at all tmies furnish them lower than equally fine plants 

 can be obtained elsewhere, to say nothing of the great number of esti- 

 mable varieties we offer, which are no where else obtainable. In gen- 

 eral, the plants we vend are much larger and stronger than are usually 

 sold, and more may be saved in this respect than in the price. Mixed 

 Roses, without names, will be supplied at 83 per dozen ; S5 50 for 25; 

 $10 for 50 ; or S18 per 100. The culture of Roses is of the simplest de- 

 scription, and the requisite information will be found under the proper 

 head, and particularly in the Manual of Roses just published. 



Particular care has been exercised in the arrangement, and all the va- 

 rieties will be found under their appropriate heads. In some Catalogues 

 gross blunders are made in this respect ; and, for instance, the Soifatare 

 and Similor are called Tea Roses by some, and in other cases, names 

 are inserted as distinct, which are only synonymous, and many are also 

 enumerated which are very inferior. These we do not cultivate, as-there 

 is an ample supply of estimable varieties, without wasting time on the 

 worthless. In those classes of Roses which are not generally fragrant, 

 the letter F is attached to such as are so. The Damask, Provence, 

 French Roses, Moss, Hybrid Provence, Damask perpetual, Sweet Briars, 

 Black, and Tea Roses, being all fragrant, need no such distinction, but 

 an F has been added to some that are extraordinarily so. The letter P 

 is attached to most of the varieties which have long flexible shoots 

 adapted for rose pillars, arbors, or to train against the sides of buildings, 

 &c. The following abbreviations are used in regard to form ; glob, glob- 

 ular, or globose, the outer petals encircling the flower till fully blown ; ex. 

 expanded, the flowers rather flat, petals open; cup. cupped, the outer row 

 of petals erect, rather incurved, enclosing the smaller petals; com. com- 

 pact, petals stiff, close, and upright, resembhng a double Ranunculus, 

 The letter S has been annexed to a few Show roses, flowers full size, 

 very double, perfect form, suitable for premium exhibitions. 



A new distinct Catalogue of Roses is published annually, containing 

 all the additional new varieties. 



CLASS I.— CHIi^ESE EVER-BLOOMING, DAILY, OR BENGAL ROSES, 



Rosa indica. 

 This magnificent class of Roses comprises so many desirable quali- 

 ties, that it is ranked by amateurs among the first in requisition. When 

 cultivated in the open ground, as is now very generally practised, the va- 

 rieties are particularly interesting, on account of their filling up the entire 

 season with a continued profusion of bloom. They commence expanding 

 their flowers in April, which present a constant succession of the most 

 lovely and varied hues that can regale the fancv ; and these are contin- 

 ued until their development is arrested by frost. All the varieties enu- 

 merated have cupped flowers, except the few that are noted as globular,
