MOSS ROSES. 



G-LORY OF MOSSES (Bud). 



Moss Roses stand alone in picturesque beauty — different and distinct from all others. 

 Their charms have long been celebrated in Poetry and Art. Their opening buds, half 

 covered with delicate clinging m^oss of fairy-like texture, are indeed very beautiful and well 

 worthy to be the chosen interpreters of love's young dream. 



The Moss Roses are strong, robust growers ; perfectly hardy, and therefore justly 

 esteemed as among the most desirable for out-door culture. Most of the varieties bloom 

 but once in the season, and sometimes not the first year, but the flowers and buds are very 

 large, and remain in bloom for a long time, and are highly prized. Being difficult and 

 slow of propagation, the price is necessarily higher than other Roses. 



The Price of Moss Roses is . 35 cents each, S for $1.00. 

 The Set of 13 for 4.00.
