ROSES. 



AV^e offer a large and very select assortment of Roses, importing yearly, direct from the 

 European growers, all the newest and best varieties, and only retaining such as are adapted 

 to our climate, or possess any special merit over varieties already introduced. These are 

 grown in pots, on their own roots, which renders them much more desirable for sending to 

 a distance, as they retain their ball of roots, and the purchaser runs no risk in transplanting. 

 Our collection of Roses has carried off ALL THE FIRST PRIZES for several years past 

 at the Exhibitions of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, viz. : at the
