MANUAI, FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



SEASON 1903 



TO LOVEKS OF THE CHOICEST ROSES. 



From a thorough practica 

 ments, we have selected only the 



experience and knowledge of the Rose and its require- 

 2 choicest varieties, freedom of bloom, size, color, vigor, 

 form and substance of each variety considered. Propagated and grown at our own nursery 

 and thoroughly acclimated, our Roses are grown in pots, which give more satisfaction', 

 bein^ more adapted to the usual handling in packing, shipping and planting on arrival'. 

 We do not grow any plants for their flowers specially, thereby assuring you good stock. 

 The so-called one and two year old plants which are advertised and catalogued as good 

 stock having been worked and forced for their flowers, are worthess in any garden. Our 

 Roses are all lifted and established in pots and hardened before shipping, thereby insuring 

 perfect success, and to reduce express charges soil is removed to some extent. 



We strongly advise shipping by Express whenever practicable; this will enable us to 

 send much stronger Plants and guarantee safer delivery. If ordered by mail add 20 per 

 cent of the value of plants to cover postage. 



l^e strongly Recommend the foUo^w^ing 



SPECIAL ]XEW VARIETIES. 



Helen Gould or Baldiiin. One of the 



most remarkable roses of recent date. As 

 strong growing as the best of the H. P.'s, 

 with large, handsome foliage, flowers of the 

 failest form and largest size, which is 

 equalled in profusion by no other rose of its 

 size that we have ever seen. The color is 

 bright glowing carmine, and out-ranks all 

 others of its color. The bud is long and 

 elegantly pointed; it is as sweet as a June 

 rose. Its many fine qualities will make 

 friends for it. 25c., 50c. and $1.00 each. 



The Dinsmore. After thorough trial 

 we find'lhis rose out-ranks all others of the 

 1-arge varieties. We have so few of'the 

 true hybrids which bloom all the year 

 around, which this rose does, while it does 

 not surpass the American Beauty in size it 

 does in color, and is quite as profuse in 

 ilowering, and no garden or collection of 

 roses is complete without it; flowers large 



and perfectly double, color rich crimson 

 scarlet; very showy and handsome; delight- 

 fully fragrant. Price for strong blooming 

 plants, 25c. 50c. and $1.00 each. 



Grass au Teplit^. As a bedding rose, 

 this is one of the finest and most useful 

 varieties of recent years. Many of our cus- 

 tomers who bought it in the spring of 1900 

 are realizing its value. It will take rank 

 with Hermosa, Malmaisou and C. Soupert. 

 The color is scarlet, shading to velvety 

 crimson. In size it is larger than Hermosa. 

 It is very fragrant, the freest grower and 

 the most profuse bloomer of any ever- 

 bloomer. The mass of color produced is 

 wonderful, and the foliage is extremely 

 beautiful, all the younger growth being a 

 bronzy plum color; a queen among scarlet 

 bedders. Price, 25c., 50c. and $r. 00 each. 



Madame Masson. It may not be gen- 

 erally known amoug our customers that 



Our Chrysanthemums captured the Silver I^oving Cup at the Flower Show 



Last Year.
