F. & F. NURSERY CATALOGUE 



THE HARDIEST EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



Including Tea, China and Bourbon Varieties 



These are the only Roses that really bloom constantly. They begin to bloom early in the season, 

 or almost as soon as planted, and continue all through the Summer and Autumn months, until stopped by 

 freezing weather, flourishing luxuriantly from Canada to Mexico. The flowers are of beautiful form 

 and fullness, delightful fragrance, and embrace all shades and colors. These everblooming Roses are not, 

 however, hardy in this locality and will not survive exposure in Winter. 



.Roses in Pots. For house culture the C. T.,T P., H. T., T. and B. B. Roses should be selected. 

 These will give a succession of bloom if treated in the following manner: Drain the pots well with 

 broken bits of crock; mix one part of well-rotted cow manure with two parts of light, friable soil, 

 and press firmly about the roots in potting. Keep well watered during the Summer; more scantily in 

 Fall and Winter. Pinch off all flower buds until Winter, and then give all the sunlight possible. 

 Keep your plants clean and growing. About sixty degrees is the best temperature for window or general 

 indoor culture.
