HIS illustrated supplementary edi- 

 tion of OUR NEW GUIDE TO 

 ROSE CULTURE for 1898 is made 

 necessary by the increasing list of 

 Roses we now offer, which com- 

 prises over seven hundred (700) 

 varieties. Space in OUR NEW 

 GUIDE is insufficient to properly 

 describe this elegant collection 

 and the complete array of other 

 stock which we have prepared for this season's sales; 

 therefore, we offer in this supplementary edition of 

 Our New Guide a choice assortment of NOVELTIES 

 AND SPECIALTIES IN ROSES, NEW AND RARE 

 BULBS, SEEDS AND MISCELLANEOUS FLOWERING 

 PLANTS. 



These pages contain the very choicest and best 

 things in our extensive collection. In addition to the 

 specialties herein offered, we call your particular 

 attention to our SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, which 

 represent the most and best for the money for 1898. 

 They comprise the choicest and best of all that is of- 

 fered in OUR NEW GUIDE. The sets are marvels of 

 cheapness. We not only meet competition in quan- 

 tity, but surpass it in quality. We propose to main- 

 tain that standard of excellence for which the D.&C 

 GOODS are noted, and those who order from these 

 pages may depend upon getting stock of the highest 

 quality. 



It is our firm belief that cheap goods are dear at any 

 price, and to sell such goods is an imposition upon the 

 buyer which certainly cannot add prestige to the repu- 

 tation of the seller. Nearly half a century in busi- 

 ness has made us careful of the interests of the vast 

 army of good friends who honor us with their con- 

 tinued patronage. Those who have watched over the 

 destinies of this business since its inception nearly fifty 

 years ago will, as long as a just Providence will allow, 

 continue to uphold a precious reputation which has 

 been the price of these many years of toil. Satisfac- 

 tion is assured to all, whether their order be large or 

 small. We ask our friends not to lay this supplement 

 aside without looking through its pages. Address
