Varieties of Special Merit 



fOR 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 comxpensates 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 1900 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. Qne of the Best.— This is a 

 splendid, Iree-flowering, strong-growing, dark-colored Tea, 

 and beyond a doubt one of the most satisfactory varieties 

 for open-ground culture, where it grows to perfection. The 

 flowers are very large, full and double. The color is a rich, 

 rare shade of violet red, brightened with crimson maroon. 

 The fragrance is exceedingly sweet, and more pronounced 

 than is found in most Teas. It blooms with wonderful free- 

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

— Since its introduction this Rose has been known as the 



"true Tea 

 Jacqueminot "

The Roses you sent me in the Spring are 

 all growing well. Empress of China has 

 grown 15 feet, and is still growing an inch 

 per day. I was much pleased with the fine 

 condition in which plants arrived.

stance. The 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 OL.LIVER. ^ 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 flow- 

 ers are extra large, with a full double form and splendid 

 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^. New 

 and Beautiful. — This is one of the most beautilul 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.
