For intense and dazzling color there is no other Rose to 

 Compare with this splendid kind. The flowers are large and 

 handsome, moderately double, of splendid substance, and 

 are produced in amazing profusion during the whole of the

 fiery crimson, shaded with a dark velvety sheen, a combina- 

 tion found in no other Rose. 



The fragrance of Virginia R. Coxe Rose is unexcelled by 

 that of any other variety under cultivation. It is a strong 

 and sturdy grower, often attaining a height of four or five 

 feet, is perfectly hardy in all sections and is one of the 

 finest of many splendid Roses that have come to us from 

 Europe.

•IK) YOU KNOW HOW A ROSE IJl'.SH IS M.\I)E?"— I'lobablv 

 you h.Tve not siven the matter ;iiiy thought. Roses that are grown on 

 their own roots, and they are the only ones that are worth planting. 

 are made from branches of the mother plant. These branches are cut 

 in lengths according to the eyes thereon. In order to increase the 

 production these cuttings are frequently made with only one eye, 

 which makes a small, weak plant. Where two eyes are taken the 

 plant is twice as large and of twice as much yitality and bloomlni; 

 cjuality. So in buying plants remember our plants are made from 

 these strong two-eyed cuttings and are worth much more than those 

 weak one-eyed plants offered Viy many at cheap rates.
