SEASON 1904. 



TO LOVERS OF THE CHOICEST ROSES: 



From a thorough practical experience and knowledge of the Rose and its require- 

 ments, we have selected only the choicest varieties, freedom of bloom, size, color, vigor, 

 form and substance of each variety considered. Propagated and grown at our own nursery 

 and thoroughly acclimated, our Roses are grown in pots, which give more satisfaction, 

 being more adapted to the usual handling in packing, shipping and planting on arrival. 

 We do not grow any plants for their flowers specially, thereby 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 

 Roses are all lifted and established in pots and hardened before shipping, thereby insur- 

 ing perfect success, and to reduce express charges soil is removed to some extent. 



We strongly advise shipping by Express whenever practicable; this will enable us to 

 send much stronger plants and guarantee safer delivery. IF ORDERED BY MAIL ADD 

 20 PER CENT OF THE VALUE OF PLANTS TO COVER POSTAGE. 



WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING 



SPECIAL NEW VARIETIES. 



Helen Gould or Balduin. One of the 



most remarkable roses of recent date. As 

 strong growing as the best of the H. P.'s, 

 with large, handsome foliage, flowers of the 

 fullest form and largest size, which is 

 equalled in profusion by no other rose of its 

 size that we have ever seen The color is 

 bright glowing carmine. 25c, 50c. and 

 $1.00 each. 



The Dinsmore. After thorough trial 

 we find this rose outranks all others of the 

 large varieties. We have so few of the 

 true hybrids which bloom all the year 

 around, which this rose does, while it does 

 not surpass the American Beauty in size it 

 does in color, and is quite as profuse in 

 flowering, and no garden or collection of 

 roses is complete without it; flowers large
