GREENHOUSE VIEW 



OR general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One- 

 year-old plants, such as we send by Mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year, from 

 early spring until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profu- 

 sion of flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring 

 and delightful fragrance. Hardy everywhere in open ground with protection of litter, 

 leaves, evergreen boughs or similar material. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses, the 

 harvest of bloom they give the first year compensates for the trifling outlay. Any one 

 can succeed with them. 



We Outstrip Jill Competition both in Quality and Price 



Not only do we offer the largest and most complete collection of Roses in America, but we do more 

 — we offer the highest quality at the lowest prices, which is more important to the buyer. We claim 

 for our stock that it is better grown than any other, and therefore success is almost certain with 

 D. & C. Roses. We do not believe it possible to grow good Roses in a pot less than two and a 

 half inches in diameter. Many of our one-year-old Roses are grown in three-inch pots. It costs 

 more to grow such plants, but a lifetime's experience has taught us that what is good for customers 

 is good for us. Such stock as we offer is far superior to Roses grown in one-and-a-half and two- 

 inch pots. Our prices are low — our stock the best. For the season of 1905 we have the finest as 

 well as the largest stock of Roses we have ever had. You have a stock of over one million plants to 

 choose from.

ALINE SISLEY 



One of the Best 



This is a splendid free-flowering, strong-growing, 

 dark-colored Tea, and beyond a doubt one of the most 

 satisfactory varieties for open ground culture, where 

 it grows to perfection. The flowers are very large, 

 full and double. The color is a rich, rare shade of 

 violet red, brightened with crimson maroon. The fra- 

 grance is exceedingly sweet, and more pronounced 

 than is found in most Teas. It blooms with wonderful 

 freedom. A grand red variety, and one we think a 

 great deal of. 



ANDRE SCHWARTZ 



" Ever-Blooming Jack " 

 Since its introduction this Rose has been known as 

 the "true Tea Jacqueminot" because of its striking re- 

 semblance to that famous variety. The flowers are 

 beautifully made, being large, full and of excellent 

 substance. The color is brilliant, glowing scarlet, 

 passing to rich crimson, very bright and strikingly 

 beautiful. It is a strong, sturdy grower and a con- 

 stant and profuse bloomer. It cannot be surpassed in 

 open ground. 



ANNA OLIVER 



A Superb Free-Blooming Rose 

 A strong, vigorous grower, succeeding in almost any 

 situation; indeed, we believe this to be one of the best 

 varieties-old or new~f or general cultivation. The flow- 

 ers are extra large, with a full double form and splen- 

 did substance; color lovely creamy blush (buff) shaded 

 with deep carmine, beautifully tinged and edged with 

 silvery rose; very fragrant. Good in every way. 



BON SILENE 



A Grand Old Rose 

 This remarkable Rose was introduced in 1839, and 

 up to this time no new variety has superseded it, a 

 fact that bears ample testimony to its valuable qual- 

 ities. It is superb in every way. Perhaps the most 

 noted feature is the immense size and beauty of its 

 buds, which cannot be surpassed for bouquets and 

 decorative purposes. The color is deep rose, some- 

 times bright rosy crimson, occasionally pale light 

 rose. In the open ground it grows to perfec- 

 tion, producing crop after crop of its beautiful flow- 

 ers in unbroken continuity, from early Spring until 

 late in Autumn. Of all the Teas there are none better 

 (see illustration, page 50).
