MOSS ROSES. 



Moss Roses stand alone in picturesque beauty, different and distinct from all others. 

 Their opening buds, half covered with dehcate 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, perfectly hardy, and therefore justly es- 

 teemed as very desirable for out-door culture in open ground. Most varieties bloom but

and handsome, remain in bloom a long time, and are highly prized wherever beautiful 

 Roses are known. They like rich ground and are much improved in beauty and fragrance

 always bloom profusely. Being difficult and slow of propagation the price is higher than 

 for other Roses. 



The Price of Moss Roses is 35 cents each; 3 for $1 ; 13 for $4; The set of 14 varietie» 

 for $4.25.
