THEY ALWAYS GIVE COMPLETE SATISFACTION. 



We are always glad to have purchasers select for themselves exactly the varieties they prefer at the 

 prices given. But so many of our customers desire us to make selections for them, that we have concluded 

 to devote special attention to selecting and putting up choice collections of Roses for all who desire us to do 

 so. We can make better selections than most people can possibly do for themselves, as our thorough 

 knowledge of the different kinds enables us to send the very best for the particular purpose desired in that 

 locality. Each selection is made specially for that particular order and no other. Each variety is correctly 

 labeled exactly the same as if ordered by the purchaser, and we frequently send larger and stronger plants 

 because we have a vast number of varieties to select from, and last but not least, we can furnish these collec- 

 tions for a little less money than the same varieties would cost at catalogue prices. So that if you avail 

 yourself of this plan and enclose the amount it will only be necessary to tell us the collection or collections 

 you want, what they are for, and besides avoiding all the difficulty of selecting for yourself, you will be 

 certain to get a choice first-class collection, exactly as desired, sure to please and give satisfaction, and 

 including one or more (according to the size of the order) high-priced sorts, which, if ordered separately, 

 would have added largely to the cost. These are not cheap collections (you will find them under the head 

 of The Most for the Money). These collections are made separately for every person who orders from this 

 list, and desires us to select for them, and are guaranteed to please in every case.
