This is a grand opportunity. These plants are on 

 their own roots and are from two to five years old. All of 

 them have bloomed — some of them several times, hence they 

 are absolutely true to name. It is a well known fact that 

 nearly every one who plants Roses wants immediate results 

 from them. With these plants this is an absolute certainty. 

 You will not have to wait a year or two for flowers. Plant 

 them in the open ground any time from October 15th up until 

 hard freezing weather. A slight protection will prove bene- 

 ficial, but is not a necessary essential, as they are perfectly 

 hardy. 



They will become established during the Winter, as Roses, 

 like trees, make roots when the ground is frozen solid. By 

 planting in the Fall the plants get the advantage of an early 

 start in the Spring. They will then bloom profusely and 

 throughout the season, producing their grand flowers in all 

 their perfection. 



Instead of having to wait two or three years for flowers you 

 have them the first season. By all means plant some hardy 

 dormant Roses. The price is exceptionally low — these 

 plants are usually sold from 50 cts. to Si each. Our stock is 

 large and we propose to dispose of them at prices that make 

 it possible for every one to have them. Plant any time after 

 October 15th up to hard freezing weather. Send in your 

 orders now. The plants will be sent by Freight or Express 

 at purchaser's expense when they are ready to dig. We will 

 in every instance send varieties that we are sure will please. 

 If you have preference as to varieties we will be pleased to 

 conform to your selection as far as possible. Price, our selec- 

 tion, 35 cts. each ; 6 for $1.75 ; S3 per doz.
