Our Great Trial Collection of Roses 



16 Superb, Hardy, Ever-biooming Varieties, Including 

 Climbing Clotilde Soupert, a Superb, New, Ever- 

 blooming Climber, and Rubin, a New 

 Rambler, Postpaid, for $1.00. 



In our vast collection of over one thousand different varieties of Roses, of which we 

 produce annually upwards of one million plants, are some really great kinds that were 

 " Born to blush unseen and waste their sweetness on the desert air." Every rose cannot 

 be a General facqueminot or an American Beauty, yet we offer varieties with but a line or 

 two of description that combine such beauty of form and coloring of flower, together with 

 freedom of bloom, hardiness and health, as to make them the equals, if not the superiors, 

 of many of the popular favorites. We want you to know these Roses as we do, and we 

 want you to know why the D. & C. Roses are famous the world over. To make the intro- 

 duction possible let us select sixteen of them, all different kinds, no two colors alike, 

 properly labeled, the whole collection packed complete and sent postpaid to any Post Office 

 in the United States for |i.oo. We guarantee satisfaction and safe arrival, and you may 

 be assured that you will not be disappointed in them. Remember that this guarantee is 

 backed by a reputation of a half century's standing. 



The D. & C. Roses Go and Grow all over the World. 



These plants are strong, well-rooted and thrifty, and are not to be confused with the 

 feeble '* slips " frequently sent out in cheap collections. They will bloom the first year 

 (this year) continuously throughout the season, and are hardy with protection. We feel 

 in honor bound to send you something better than we promise, and as a special induce- 

 ment will include as two of the sixteen Roses a strong plant each of Climbing Clotilde 

 Soupert, the most superb, new Climbing Rose ever introduced (blooms all the time), and 

 the new Rambler Rose, Rubin. (See colored plate and full description of these Roses else- 

 where in this book.) These two Roses alone are worth almost the price of the entire col- 

 lection. Take our advice and try this collection. It is the best value ever offered for the 

 money.

Gentlemen: — The Trial Collection of Roses re- 

 ceived from you this season has given me perfect sat- 

 isfaction in every respect, and has been a complete 

 duplicate of the Trial Collection of last year. The 

 plants have grown into sturdy, good sized bushes, 

 bearing abundantly and continuously the sweetest, 

 fairest Roses I have ever seen growing in the open 

 air. The plants of the Trial Collection of 1901 have 

 developed into large bushes, bearing freely as last 

 year, only in proportionately increased quantity. 

 On one of them I counted 38 full blown flowers and 

 half open buds. My Rose garden is the admiration 

 of visitors, yet it is composed only of your Trial Col- 

 lection of last year and this. 



Wishing you the success you so richly deserve, I 

 beg to rem.ain. Yours sincerely, 



Sbymour. F. Frasick. 



Weedsport, N. Y., July 17, 1902. 

 Gentlemen:— Th.e Roses I bought of you this 

 Spring are doing nicely, especially the Trial Collec- 

 tion. Your plants are always right and always grow. 

 Yours truly, 



F. H. Bbnkdict. 



ROANOKK, Va., Feb. 7, 1902. 

 Gentlemen:— The Trial Collection of Roses I order- 

 ed from you last Spring has pleased me very much, 

 and I cannot find words to praise them. The plants 

 all lived and bloomed last Summer, and were per- 

 fectly beautiful. Some of the blooms were as large 

 as ordinary teacups. 



Respectfully yours, 



Mrs. T. J. Deybrlk.
