MODERN ROSES OF PROVED MERIT— Continued 



See 



explanation 

 of illustration 

 below 



(They are all of Ihe Hybrid Tea class except where noted) 



^Q©> 



Our Third Size Roses are grown in three 

 inch pots. They are superior to the young 

 Roses from 2-inch pots usually sent out be- 

 cause the larger pot gives ample room for 

 root action and allows the plant to grow 

 naturally. They are sturdy and compact 

 and when sent by express with the soil on 

 the roots transplanting scarcely checks their 

 growth. In the cut above we show a fair 

 sample of a 2-inch pot plant as usually sent 

 out by the mail trade and a fair sample taken 

 from our stock growing in a 3-inch pot.

 the profuse manner in which it blooms. The flowers

 A healthy grower, free bloomer.
