Glory of 



(Buds) 



Moss Roses. 



Moss Roses stand alone in picturesque beauty, 

 different and distinct from all others. Their opening 

 buds, half-covered with delicate clinging moss of fairy- 

 like texture, command our especial admiration and well 

 deserve the loving tributes paid them in poetry and 

 song. 



The Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous grower, Per- 

 fectly Hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as very 

 desirable for out-door culture in open ground. Most 

 varieties bloom but once in the season, and usually not 

 the first year, but the flowers and buds are very large 

 and handsome, they remain in bloom a long time, and 

 are highly prized wherever beautiful Roses are known. 

 Moss Roses like rich ground and are much improved in 

 beauty and fragrance by liberal manuring and good cul- 

 tivation, but they bear hardships and neglect well, and 

 always bloom profusely. Being difficult and slow of 

 propagation, the price is higher than for other Roses. 



The Price of Moss Roses is 25 cents each ; 

 4 for $1 ; the set of 14 varieties for $3.25.
