GREENHOT'SE VIEW 



R general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old 

 plants, such as we send by Mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year, from early spring until 

 severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion of flowers, owing to 

 their size. The flowers are noted for their exquis'te coloring and delightful fragrance. Hardy 

 everywhere in open ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar 

 material. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses, the harvest of bloom they give the first year 

 compensates for the trifling outlay. Any one can succeed with them. 



de Outstrip HU Competition both in Quality and price 



^ot only do we offer the largest and most complete collection of Roses in America, but we do more— we 

 offer the highest quality at the lowest prices, which is more important to the buyer. We claim fur 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 Ros js are grown in three-inch pots. It costs more to grow such plants, but a 

 lifetime's experience has taught-us thnt 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 1904 we have the finest as wed as the largest stock of Roses we have ever had. You have 

 a stock of over one million plants to choose from.

/ILINE 5I5LEY 



One of the Best 

 This is a splendid free -flowering, strong-growing, dark- 

 colored Tea, and beyond a doubt one of the most satisfactory 

 varieties for open ground culture, where it grows to perfec- 

 tion. 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 pro- 

 nounced than is found in most Teas. It blooms with wonder- 

 ful freedom. A grand red variety, and one we think a great 

 deal of.

** Ever-Bloom ing Jack " 

 Since its introduction this Rose has been known as the 

 "true Tea Jacqueminot" because of its striking re»emblance 

 to that famous variety. The flowers are beautifully made, 

 being large, full and of excellent substance. 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. 



/INN/1 OLIVER 



A Superb Free-Blooming Rose 

 A strong, vigorous grower, succeeding in almost any situ- 

 ation ; indeed, we believe this to be one of the best varieties — 

 old or new— for general cultivation. The flowers are extra 

 large, with a full double form and splendid substance ; color 

 lovely creamy blush (buff) shaded with deep carmine, beauti- 

 fully tinged and edged with silvery rose ; very fragrant. Good 

 in every way. 



BON 5ILENE 



A Grand Old Rose 

 This remarkable Rose was introduced in 1839, and up to- 

 this time no new variety has superseded it, a fact that bears 

 ample testimony t>> its valuable qualities. It is superb in 

 every wav. . Perhaps the most noted feature is the immense 

 size and beauty of its buds, which cannot be surpassed for 

 bouquets and decorative purposes. The color Is deep rose, 

 sometimes bright rosv crimson, occasionally pale light rose. 

 In the open ground it grows to perfection, producing crop 

 after crop of its beautiful flowers in unbroken continuity, 

 from early Spring until late in Autumn. Of all the Teas there 

 are none better {see illustration, page 50).
