SPECIAL OFFER NO. 5.— For $50 we will send, by Express, 500 Roses in 50 choice

 ch ice sorts — your selection of varieties from the General Collections — either Ever-Bloom- 

 ing or Hybrid Perpetual, or some of both, as preferred— purchasers to pay express charges. 



A G-RAND DISPLAY.— All the above offers are very choice, but the two last always 

 make a Grand Display and attract a great deal of attention. If the selection is left to us 

 we will see to it that you get the right sorts. 



SPACE REQUIRED.— It don't require as much space to plant 1000 Roses as might be 

 expected. Plenty of people have ample room who never think of it. For best effect Roses 

 should be planted rather less than one foot apart each way. A bed 22 feet long by 10 feet 

 wide holds 250 Roses nicely. A circular bed 10 feet in diameter holds 125^ and one 16 feet 

 in diameter holds 250. If you wish beds of separate colors let us know size of beds and 

 colors wanted, and we will see that you get the best sorts for the purpose.

ROSES OF SPECIAL INTEREST. 



Our European correspondents have standing orders to send us all the new Roses as soon 

 as they appear, without regard to price. 



We offer, in this list, the choicest New Roses of 1880, our ©wn importation 

 from London and Paris. Also a few other extra fine sorts which are scarce and rare and 

 not in sufficient supply to be placed in the General Collections. Many of these Roses have 

 obtained certificates of special merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of London, and 

 the Rose Congress of France, the two highest authorities on Roses in the world ; these varie- 

 ties are recommended as being particularly valuable and beautiful, as well as the very finest 

 European novelties of the season. The plants from which our stock is taken cost us in 

 Paris and London nearly their weight in gold. Purchasers can select any varieties they 

 prefer, or order the whole set, or both sets, at very reasonable prices. We also offer these 

 Roses as special Premiums to our friends who get up clubs, so that they can be easily ob- 

 tained by all who desire them.

 complete sets. One set of twenty varieties Ever-Blooming Roses, and one set of 

 twenty varieties Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses.

_^A Set of Ten Magnificent Sorts:^^ 



MW HYBRID TEAS— OFFERED IW FOR THE FIRST TIME. 



Mr. Bennett of Stapleford, England, has the honor of introducing the Ten Magnificent 

 New Hybrid Tea Roses, described below. He asserts they are a regular cross between 

 certain varieties of Hybrid Perpetuals and Teas, produced by a secret process of artificial 

 Hybridization, and claims they are all real Perpetuals, giving a constant succession of 

 flowers during the whole season, that they have borne 30 degrees of frost without injury, 

 and that they are superior to, and altogether different from any Roses before seen. 



We take pleasure in saying that many of these Roses have bloomed with us the past 

 season and have fully sustained the character claimed for them, as Roses of "Wonderful 

 Beauty, G-ood Constitution, and Constant and Profuse Bloom. We do not yet
