PLANT SECTION 



Pome firms are sending rt "t mailing size roses that are hardly more than rooted cutting"'; we do 

 not handle that kind; our plants are grown in 3-inch pots, are strong and vigorous and ready to I doom at 

 once. These are sent to you postpaid at the prices quoted. It will be better, however, for you to have them 

 come by express, as all the soil can then be left on the roots, which is a great advantage. 



Our two-year Hoses were all in bloom last summer, and are wintered outdoors, where they have an 

 entire rest; these are not like the exhausted hot-house plants sold by some; they go by express at your 

 expense at the price given. 

 Prices on all Roses: 1-year mailing size, 35 cts. postpaid. Strong 2-year plants, 80 cts. Weight per plant, about 1 lb.
