The Rose 



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 special 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 complete, having been enriched, 

 by direct importation, with the latest popular sorts. The repeated award of the highest pre- 

 rniurasbv the Pennsylvania Honicultural Society is sufficient evidence of their merit. 



EVER-BLOOMING ROSES cannot be secured unless the plants are kept in a vigorous grow- 

 ing condition. To derive the greatest enjoyment from rose-culture, beds should be prepared 

 exclusively for their benefit, by throwing out the sub-soil and replacing with a good compost, so 

 that the roots in running down may find nourishment. 



A fresh loamy soil, enriched with well-rotted cow manure, we have found the best, and the 

 fertility preserved by a yearly top-dressing of well-rotted manure. 



Our Roses are pot-grown on their own roots, and not forced into unnatural growth; beieg 

 pot-grown renders them more desirable for sending to a distance; as they retain the ball of roots 

 and soil, the purchaser runs no risk in transplanting. Being kept in cold houses without fire 

 over winter, their natural growth is likewise not checked, in planting out, by sudden changes 

 of temperature in the spring; but the plants go ahead, giving perfect satisfaction in every way. 



We have made a large reduction in price, which in no way affects the quality of the stock, 'it 

 being kept up to a first-class standard.
