STANtDARD lilST op SHST VARIETIES. 



T is not necessary to give detailed descriptions of the varieties offered on this page. 

 The list comprises the very choicest sorts in cultivation. During the past quarter 

 of a century we have tested nearly all of the Hardy Hybrid Roses in existence, and 

 have kept only those of pronounced merit, such as will give the best satisfaction to 

 home planters. We have discarded those of inferior merit and retain only the best 

 as regards healthy, vigorous growth, freedom of bloom, form and color of flower. 

 These varieties are perfectly hardy, and will stand the severest Winters. 



We grow our hardy Roses from hard-wood cuttings, taken from strong healthy plants, hence 

 they have more vigor and vitality and health than plants grown from soft-wooded cuttings, taken 

 from forced greenhouse-grown plants. The young plants are grown in 2>^ and 3-inch pots, and 

 when sent out are in perfect growing condition. Our two-year-old plants have been grown in 

 nature's own way, and are far superior to ordinary two-year-old plants that are usually sent out. 

 Our prices, considering the work put on our Roses, are marvels of cheapness. In the quality of 

 our stock we have no competition.
