NEW AND RARE ROSES 



OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 



ON pages 12 to 23 are offered all new Roses of merit introduced during the past few years up to 1905, not 

 only in this country but in Europe. This grand collection emphasizes the zealous efforts put forth by ourselves 

 and our foreign agents that we might secure the newest, best and prettiest Roses in the world. In this de- 

 partment we are the acknowledged leaders, and we offer these varieties at prices so low as to be within the 

 easy reach of all. These, as well as all our Roses, are ON THEIR OWN ROOTS, and are therefore far more 

 valuable than budded or grafted plants with which the country is flooded. Our collection includes varieties 

 marvelous in form and color of flowers, possessing characteristics so remarkable that we believe if every 

 Rose lover could but know their beauty they would be found in every collection. Many of these varieties are 

 from the original stock, which we control, and cannot be had elsewhere in America. Ours is the onlj r House 

 in this country maintaining a thoroughly organized department of special representatives in all parts of the 

 world, and we are therefore enabled, wherever ther is a Post Office, to bring to your doors not only the 

 newest and best Roses, but every variety worth growing. If you have any misgivings as to the beauty and 

 merit of the newer varieties, set such aside and give them a trial. Their remarkable beauty, form and color 

 effects will astonish you. 



NOTICE.— Quite a few of the most beautiful of th newer Roses have been given names so unpronounceable 

 as to cause the average person to sigh with desperation. In their native country these names may have a 

 reasonable significance, but here with us there is no excuse for them: therefore we have given our customers 

 the privilege of ordering either by name or number, just as they prefer. All plants will be sent out with their 

 proper names attached. Please bear this in mind. After the name of each variety we give the name of the 

 introducer.
