MOSS ROSES. 



Moss Roses are greatly admired for the elegant beauty of their moss-covered 

 buds and the great size and brilliant colors of their flowers. They are strong, 

 robust growers, perfectly hardy, and, therefore, justly esteemed as among the 

 most desirable for out-door cultivation. They bloom at intervals during the 

 season, and are very highly prized. Being difficult and slow of propagation, 

 the price is necessarily higher. 



The Price of Moss Roses is 50 Cents Each.
