^ NEW m RARE ROSES Of UNUSUAL nERlT \ 



©N this and the page following are oflfered new Roses whose merits are so extraordinary as to make them worihy of 

 special distinction. No brancli of Rose growing is so fraught with pleasure, as well as d"isappointment, as the produc- 

 ing and testing of new varieties. There are so many disappointments that out of the hundreds of new varieties there 

 are very few indeed worthy of special mention. It is a matter of no little pride that we are able to offer so many 

 really meritorious Roses, all of which have been thoroughly tested. Our descriptions are the result of personal oi'Sef- 

 vations and trials. We have gathered these Roses from all parts of the world. Among them will be found many American 

 born varieties just as beautiful as their sister varieties secured from England, Ireland, France and Germany. All our plants 

 are on own roots, and all are offered in both one and two-year sizes, with one or two exceptions— stock strong, clean and 

 healthy, sure to grow and produce a profusion of flowers. The«e varieties will prove hardy in all parts of the country, except 

 in the Is^orth, where all Roses should be protected as a precautionary measure.
