Forcing Plants and Bulbs. 



AZALEA Indica. Of these beautiful flower- 

 plants I make direct importations of trained 

 SPECIMENS of different sizes and the choicest 

 named varieties of brilliant colors. They can 

 be sent with safety at any time during the au- 

 tumn and early winter for blooming the coming

 almost uniform even surface, and produce a 

 very beautiful effect. Specimen plants, i to 2

Choice Roses. 



Fine Roses are one of my leading specialties; budded or own root plants, per 100 and 1,000 at 

 low prices. Also extra fine Standard Roses. 



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 Hardy Roses, Hybrid Perpetuals, strong One and 

 Two-Year Plants, budded or on roots for planting outside. Also, fine pot-grown plants of the 

 best kinds — Hybrid Perpetual, Teas, Etc., for Forcing. 



The Following are a few of the leading varieties.
