THE Polyanthas are a lovely and distinct class of Ever- 

 blooming Roses, distinguished by their dwarf, bushy 

 habit of growth, medium size and very double flowers, 

 which are delightfully fragrant, and are borne in large 

 clusters and masses, frequently seeming to cover the 

 whole plant with a sheet of bloom. They are good, 

 vigorous growers and constant and most profuse bloom- 

 ers, very pretty and highly recommended for general 

 planting, also for edges and borders to beds of the larger 

 growing varieties. Will survive the Winter in favorable 

 situations, with usual protection.

 cts. ; $1 per dozen ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts, 

 each; $3 per dozen.

T le Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous grower, perfectly 

 hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as very desirable for 

 outdoor culture in open ground. Most varieties bloom 

 but once in the season, and usually not the first year, but 

 the flowers and buds are very large and handsome. 

 Moss Roses like rich ground. Like the Hybrid Perpet- 

 uals, they are highly valued because of their permanency.

 year-old plants, 35 cts. each ; 83.50 per dozen.

Los Angeles, Cal., December 21, 1901. 

 Gentlemen : — 



I wish to thank you for the prompt delivery of 

 the Roses, and I find that way of receiving plants the 

 most satisfactory, The Roses reached me on Thanks- 

 giving day, without a leaf wilted, after the 3,500 mile 

 ride. As I had no bed prepared I planted them in a 

 box, and in about two weeks put them in a bed. 

 They had started new roots, but stood the transplant- 

 ing nicely, and are now doing well. I expect to show 

 California people what the D. & C. Roses are like this 

 Spring. 



Yours truly, 



Mrs. Georgiana S. Townsend. 



The finest Rose you have is the one vou say the least about. I refer to Marie Pavie (Polyantha). It is the sweetest, most 

 remarkable bloomer I have ever seen, and as hardy as Hermosa. When you get out your new catalogue say a kind word for 

 it. You sent it to me years ago as a premium ; otherwise I would not have found it. Yours, 



Phcenbtmlle, Pa. 



D. Tucker Hoffman.
