THE EOSE. 



The Rose still maintains its position as the most attractive of flowers. 

 Every year adds a large number of varieties to our extended lists, new 

 at least in name, if not in character ; and it shall be our especial 

 endeavor, after careful comparisons, to point out such of them as show 

 a decided improvement in their leading characteristics over pre- 

 existing varieties. 



Our collection of Roses is now admitted to be one of the most com- 

 plete, having been enriched, by direct importation, with the latest 

 popular sorts. The repeated award of the highest premiums by the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is sufficient evidence of their merit, 



EVER-BLOOMING ROSES cannot be secured unless the plants are 

 kept in a vigorous growing condition. To derive the greatest enjoy- 

 ment from rose culture, beds should be prepared exclusively for their 

 benefit.
