GLORY OF MOSSES (BUDS). 



Pebpitijjil Moss RosiSe 



The Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous grower, perfectly 

 hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as very desh^able 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; they remain 

 in bloom a long time, and are highly prized wherever beautiful 

 Roses are known. Moss Roses like rich ground and are 

 much improved in beauty and fragrance by liberal manuring 

 and good cultivation, but they bear hardship and neglect well, 

 and always bloom profusely. They are suitable for planting- 

 with shrubbery and other plants in beds and borders, and 

 also singly in lawn or dooryard.
