To places where there are no express offices we will send plants named in this List by mail,

 special pains to have them arrive in good condition, but the movements of freight are so unre- 

 liable that we do not guarantee safe arrival when sent that way. 



NEW AND RECENTLY INTRODUCED ROSES. 



On this page we group new Roses and some of recent introduction, many of which were offered for the first time in this country last year. These were personally 

 selected, while in bloom and represent the cream of the European productions for the past few years. They have all figured prominently in the prize lists at the 

 leading shows in England carrying off gold and silver medals, certificates, cups, etc. We have grown them for two years and from our trials can confidentlv offer 

 them in the full belief that they will give satisfaction. This is the grandest galaxy of new Roses we have ever had the pleasure of offering. They are all the Hybrid 

 Tea class except where noted. The plants offered are from 2\ inch deep Rose pots. Six sold at the dozen rate, 25 at the 100 rate.
