Special List of Hardy, Own -Root, 

 Dormant, Field-Grown Roses 



READY FOR DELIVERY ABOUT OCTOBER 15 



WE have now growing in our fields a 

 limited number of big, vigorous Roses 

 — a magnificent list of varieties — which 

 will bring unalloyed joy to those so fortunate as 

 to get their orders in on time. There are not 

 quite 3,000 of them, in the following varieties — 

 merely a trifle compared to the demand there 

 will be for them, — so we will have to carry out 

 the rule of "first come, first served." Send in 

 your orders at once, and we will reserve the 

 plants for you if you are not too late. Orders 

 will be filled strictly in the order of receipt. 

 After these are gone no more can be had at any 

 price. These are mostly June Roses, now so 

 scarce and eagerly sought after. 



These plants are all three-year-old, on their 

 own roots, and have been growing in our field 

 for over a year after being grown in pots for 

 two years. They are absolutely hardy every- 

 where. Do not be misled into buying the de- 

 partment-store Holland-grown, grafted plants, 

 which never live more than a year or two in this 

 country. They will be ready for delivery as 

 soon as they are dormant — about October 15. 



No other establishment in the country can 

 make an offer like this — it hasn't the stock; and 

 the ridiculously low figure at which we price 

 these Roses is the greatest bargain ever offered 

 to the rose-lovers of this country. Full descrip- 

 tions of these beautiful Roses will be found in 

 our catalogue. See other side for a special offer 

 on four of the greatest Roses ever grown. 



For this sale only the price of these Rose bushes 

 — "plants" doesn't describe them — is 50 cents 

 each, $5 per dozen, except the Blue Rose. If 

 you add 10 per cent to the amount of your order, 

 we will send by express prepaid to any point in 

 the U. S. or Canada.
