ROSES FOR FORCING. See "Choice Roses" 

 below and List of Varieties, page 13; also pages 

 50 and 51 of Catalogue No. 42, for 1899. 



Choice Roses. 



Fine Roses are one of my leading specialties; budded or own uoot plants, per loo and 

 i.ooo at low prices. Also Extra Fine Standards. 



The Hybrid Perpetuals are hardy, and as a rule the most satisfactory for outside planting. 



All roses require rich soil and liberal treatment. Close pruning is important. Good mulch- 

 ing in Autumn is desirable. 



I offer this autumn, remarkably fine Hybrid Perpetuals, strong One and Two-Year Plants 

 ON OWN roots KOR planting OUTSIDE. Thcse plants do not "sucker," as do]budded or grafted 

 roses, from the roots. Fine pot plants grown specially for forcing, as on next page and in General 

 Catalogue No. 42. 



The following are some of the leading varieties. For more complete list, descriptions, etc., 

 see iSgy Catalogue No. 42, pages 48 to 51. 



SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OF THE BEST HARDY ROSES.

 The plants are dormant, mostly on own roots, of large size, and selected for immediate flowering, with
