NEW AND RARE ROSES 



OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 



innj On Pages 12 to 23 are offered all new Roses of merit introduced during the past few years up to 

 1904 not only in this country but in Europe. This grand collection emphasizes the zealous efforts put 

 forth by ourselves and our foreign agents that we might secure the newest, best and prettiest Roses in 

 the world. In this department we are the acknowledged leaders, and we offer these varieties at prices 

 ^r,}? w ci as to be witnin the ea sy reach of all. These, as well as all our Roses, are ON THEIR OWN 

 ROOTS, and are therefore far more valuable than budded or grafted plants with which the country is 

 flooded. Our collection includes varieties marvelous in form and color of flowers, possessing character- 

 istics so remarkable that we believe if every Rose lover could but know their beautv they would be found 

 in every collection. Many of these varieties are from the original stock, which we control, and cannot 

 be had elsewhere in America. Ours is the only House in this country maintaining a thoroughly organized 

 department of special representatives in all parts of the world, and we are therefore enabled, wherever, 

 there is a Post Office, to bring to your doors not only the newest and best Roses, but every variety worth 

 growing. If you have any misgivings as to the beauty and merit of the newer varieties, set such aside 

 and give them a trial. Their remarkable beauty, form and color effects will astonish you. 



NOTICE.— Quite a few of the most beautiful of the newer Roses have been given names so unpro- 

 nounceable as to cause the average person to sigh with desperation. In their native countrv these names 

 may have a reasonable significance, but here with us there is no excuse for them- therefore we have 

 given our customers the privilege of ordering either by name or number, just as they prefer. All 

 plants will be sent out with their proper names attached. Please bear this in mind. After the name of 

 each variety we give the name of the introducer.
