NEW ROSES. 



M EW ggd - RAKE " ROSES 



OF RECENT INTRODUCTION. 



y r NDER this heading we offer, after careful test, all the new Roses introduced during 

 [^ the past few years up to 1902. These varieties in most instances are the result of 

 scientific hybridization, and represent the brains and skill of the most celebrated 

 Rosarians of both this country and Europe. Among these will be found novelties of rare 

 merit which cannot be had elsewhere. From all quarters of the globe they have been col- 

 lected and their culture has been given our special care. 



Heretofore the demand has been greater than the supply, but we have been successful 

 in gro\\dng a splendid supply for this season's trade. A professional grower looking through 

 the trial grounds where a complete collection of these are planted, remarked that ''if the 

 pubUc knew how magnificent these Roses are you wouldn't be able to supply one-fifth of 

 the demand." If you have any misgivings as to their beauty and merit, set them aside and 

 give some of the New Roses a trial. Their remarkable beauty, form and color effects Tvdll 

 astonish you. 



/NOTICE. 



Quite a few of the most beautiful of the newer Koses have been given names 

 so unpronounceable as to cause the average person to sigh with desperation. 

 Not infrequently a Rose of unusual merit is given a name that does it a pos- 

 itive injustice. In their native countries these names may have a reasonable significance, but here with 

 us there is no excuse for them ; therefore we have decided to give our customers the privilege of either 

 ordering by number or name, just as they prefer. "We think it will simplify ordering and prove a great 

 convenience to the buyer. Whether ordering by name or number, all plants will be sent with their 

 proper names attached. Bear this in mind. After the name of each variety we give name of introducer.
