GREENHOUSE VIEW 



FOR general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One 

 year-old plants, such as we send by Mail, bloom the first and each succeeding 

 year, from early spring until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a 

 greater profusion of flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are noted for their 

 exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance. Hardy everywhere in open ground with protec- 

 tion of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar material. Plant liberally of one-year-old 

 Roses, the harvest of bloom they give the first year compensates for the trifling outlay. Any 

 one can succeed with them.

WE OUTSTRIP ALL COMPETITION 

 BOTH IN QUALITY AND PRICE.-. •. 



^ 



Not only do we offer the largest and most complete collection of Roses in America, but we 

 do more — we offer the highest quality at the lowest prices, which is more important to the 

 buyer. We claim for our stock that it is better grown than any other, and therefore success is 

 almost certain with D. & C. Roses. We do not believe it possible to grow good Roses in a pot 

 less than two and a half inches in diameter. Many of our one-year-old Roses are grown in 

 three-inch pots. It costs more to grow such plants, but a lifetime' s experience has taught us 

 that what is good for custo7ners is good for us. Such stock as we offer is far superior to Roses 

 grown in one-and-a-half and two-inch pots. Our prices are low — our stock the best. For the 

 season of 1903 we have the finest as well as the largest stock of Roses we have ever had. You 

 have a stock of over one million plants to choose from.

One of the Best 

 This is a splendid free-flowenng, strong-growing, dark- 

 colored Tea, and beyond a douht one of the most satisfactory- 

 varieties for open ground cultme, where it grows to perfeC' 

 tion. The flowers are very large, full and double. Tlie 

 color Is a rieli, rare sliade of violet red, brightened 

 with crimson maroon. The fragrance is exceedingly 

 sweet, and more pronounced than Is found in most Teas. It 

 blooms with wonderful freedom. A grand red variety, and 

 one we think a great deal of.

" Ever-Blooming Jack " 

 Since its introducliou this Rose has been known as the 

 " true Tea Jacqneuiinot" because of its striking resem- 

 blance to that famous variety. Tiie flowers are beautifully 

 made, being lar.ge, full and of exciellent substance. The 

 color is brilliant, glowing scarlet, passing to rich 

 crimson, very bright and strikingly beautiful. It is a strong, 

 stardy grower and a constant and profuse bloomer. It cannot 

 be surpassed in open ground. 



ANNA OI^LIVBR 



A Superb Free-Blooming Rose 



A strong, vigorous grower, succeeding in almost any situ- 

 ation ; indeed, we believe this to be one of the best varieties- 

 old or new— for general cultivation. The flowers are extra 

 larare, with a full double form and splendid substance : color 

 lovely creamy blush (buff) shaded with deep car- 

 mine, beautifully tinged and edged witli silvery rose; 

 very fragrant. Good in every way.

New and Beautiful 



This is one of the mo^^t beautiful Ro.'^es in the list. The 

 flowers are large, full and sweet, and the i)uds are exceed- 

 ingly beautiful, being of splendid size and beautifully pointed. 

 It is a strong gr iwer and a profuse and continuous bloomer. 

 In the open ground it excels. The color is pale citron 

 red -tvith red vermilion center — an odd and rarely beau- 

 tiful combination worthy of a place in every garden.
