and grown at our nursery and thoroughly acclimated, our smaller size Roses 
are grown in pots, which give more satisfaction, being more adapted to the 
usual handling in packing, shipping and planting on arrival. 
We also grow a 
great number in open ground, which gives a large size plant for those who want 
immediate effect. 
We do not grow any plants for their flowers specially, there- 
by assuring you good stock. The so-called one and two year old plants which 
are advertised and catalogued as good stock having been worked and forced for 
their flowers, are worthless in any garden. 
Our Field Roses are all lifted and 
established in pots and hardened before shipping, thereby insuring perfect suc- 
cess, and to reduce charges. soil is removed to some extent. 
Directions for Plantine.—See that your ground is well loosened and fertilized 
before planting your roses. 
Press the soil firmly around the plants with your 
foot and do not plant them too deep, just a trifle, perhaps, deeper than they 
were in the pots and water well after planting. 
While we are prepared to fill all orders for field grown Roses at any time, 
we advise our patrons to reserve their orders until November ist, as this will 
give them an opportunity to become better matured, and can be transplanted to 
better advantage.
