Our Third Size Roses are grown in three 

 inch pots. They are superior to the young 

 Roses from two-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 two-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. 



" We received the seeds and plants in good 

 condition. The Roses were e.xceplionally fine. 

 They were not withered at all. We have them 

 planted, and they are doing nicely. Thank 

 you for the extra ones you sent."

 coloring is not found in any other Rose in cultivation. In addition the flower 

 possesses a beautiful form, extra large and full, and a delightful fragrance. Another 

 charming quality is the refreshing fragrance of the young foliage. Price, strong 

 imported plants, SI. 00 each.

The coloring in the fully expanded flower is gloriously superb, Turneresque in

 in each bud and flower.
