Ever-blooming Tea Roses 

 Varieties of Special Merit. 



"OR general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all 

 others. Small plants, such as we send by Mail, bloom the first and each 

 succeeding year, from early Spring until severe frosts. The flowers are 



noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance. Hardy everywhere in 



open ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar material. 



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 them at the lowest prices, which is more im- 

 portant 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 thirty years of business experience has taught us that what 

 is good for customers 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 1899 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. 



ALINE SISLEY. one of the Best.— This is a 



lendid, tree-tiowenng, strong-growing, dark-colored Tea, 



d beyond a doubt one of the most satisfactory varieties for 



ijin-ground culture, where it grows to perfection. The 



A^ers are very large, full and double. The color is a rich, 



°^e shade of violet red, brightened with crimson maroon. 



e fragrance is exceedingly sweet and more pronounced 



a is found in most Teas. It blooms with wond-rful free- 



Ji. A grand red variety, and one we think a great deal of.

color is brilliant, glowing scarlet, passing to rich crimson, 

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

 grower and a constant and profuse bloomer. It cannot be 

 surpassed in open ground. 



ANNA OLLIVER. ^ Superb Free-blooming 

 Rose. — A strong, vigorous grower, succeeding in almost 

 any situation ; indeed, we believe this to be one of the best 

 varieties — old or new — for general cultivation. The 

 flowers are extra large, with a full double form and splen- 

 did substance; color lovely creamy blush (buff") shaded 

 with deep carmine, beautifully tinged and edged with 

 silvery rose ; very fragrant. Good in every way. 



ARCHDUCHESSE MARIE IMMACUL^. ^ew 

 and Beautiful. — I'liis is one of the most beautiful Roses 

 in the list. The flowers are large, full and sweet, and the 

 buds are exceedingly beautiful, being of splendid size and 

 beautifully pointed. It is a strong grower and a profuse 

 and continuous bloomer. In the open ground it excels. 

 The color is pale citron red with vermilion centre — an odd 

 and rarely beautiful combination, worthy of a place in every 

 garden.
