HENDERSON'S 

 SPECIAL 



a 



ROSE GARDEN 



" COLLECTIONS 

 OF ROSES 



The wonderful colorings and blendings we have in our modern Roses 

 were certainly never dreamed of years ago. With the introduction of many 

 new varieties each year the popularity of this flower is steadily increasing 

 and much interest is being taken in the planting of Rose beds. To further 

 stimulate this interest we have thought it well this season to call attention 

 to the satisfactory results that can be obtained by planting young Roses 

 in the spring. We offer on this page a selected list of varieties, young 

 plants from 3-inch pots. The Everblooming sorts in Collection A should 

 bloom freely this summer and make strong plants for next year. The 

 Hybrid Perpetuals and Hardy Climbers should flower the following year. 

 Our booklet "The Garden Culture of the Rose," which gives full detailed 

 instructions on planting and care, will be sent free if asked for when ordering.
