MOSS ROSES. 



The Moss Rose stands alone in picturesque beauty. " Nothing can eclipse 

 and nothing can rival her. She is and ever will be the favorite of poetry and 

 art. The eloquence of her opening buds, half wrapped in their mossy enve- 

 lope, will remain through all generations a chosen interpreter of the language 

 of youth and beauty." 



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

 justly esteemed as among the most desirable for outdoor culture. Most of the 

 varieties bloom but once in the season, but the flowers and buds are very large, 

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

 slow of propagation, the price is necessarily higher. 



The Price of Moss Roses is : : 3S cents each.
