QUICK AND SURE BLOOMERS- 



EACH successive year brings an increase in the 

 demand for large Roses, until now the sale of 

 our two-year old Roses for immediate effect has 

 reached enormous proportions. The reason is 

 not far to seek. The plants, being older than the mail- 

 ing size, and much larger, make a finer appearance at 

 once, and give a greater abundance of flowers. It is 

 not to be inferred, however, that the mailing size plants 

 are of an inferior grade. They will bloom as quickly, 

 but not as profusely, as the two-year-old plants ; in 

 short, the only difference is in size, and therefore the 

 comparative yield of bloom. The two-year-old Roses 

 we offer are much larger and better than those usually 

 sent out. Our methods and facilities for growing them 

 make this so. The plants usually sent out as two years 

 old are severely trimmed— that is, plants are taken from 

 them as fast as they make wood, and in this condition 

 they are sent out as "strong" two-year-old plants. 

 The veriest neophyte can readily see that such treatment 

 saps the vitality of the plant and leaves it in a much 

 weakened condition. Our methods are different. All 

 our Ever-blooming Roses are grown in open ground in 



Nature's own way. Planted in early Spring, they re- 

 main out until the first frosts, when they ripen and rest. 

 They are then dug and potted in four and five-inch pots, 

 and at once make new roots ; when sent out they are 

 in a vigorous, healthy condition, and, not having been 

 subjected to the cutting process, they are shapely plants, 

 well branched, ranging from 12 to 18 inches in height, 

 healthy and robust, and are in a condition to give a won- 

 derful profusion of bloom and the greatest sort of satis- 

 faction to all who plant them. These are the kind of 

 strong, two-year-old Roses we offer, and it is to be 

 noticed that our prices are far lower than the lowest. 



...NOTICE... 



These two-year-old Roses, owing to their size, can- 

 not be sent by Mail, but must be forwarded by Express 

 at the customer's expense The Express companies, 

 however, make a special reduction of 20 per cent, on 

 plants, so the charges on an average order will be in- 

 considerable. They weigh, when packed, about as 

 follows . 12 plants, 20 lbs.; 25 plants, 35 lbs. ; 50 plants, 

 50 lbs. ; 100 plants. 75 lbs.
