MOSS ROSES. 
The beauty of this class of roses 
IS beyond compare. Many so- ( 
called mosses are offered each \ 
year, but very few genuine 
mosses are sent out. Owing to 
the difficulty in propagating 
1/ them, they are bound to be 
scarce. We have selected two 
varieties which we have tested 
for several years and which we 
recommend to our customers. 
PRINCESS MAY Princess May is the mos. . 
flowering white moss we have ever seen, and its 
healthy habit of growth and large flowers are 
certain to make it a favorite wherever known. 
The buds are elegantly mossed and the blossoms 
exceedingly fragrant and a rose no lover of 
mosses should fail to secure. Strong young plants 
25c each, two year old plants, 50c each. 
ASHBOURNE PRIZE This is without doubt the 
most beautiful deep red variety that has ever 
been produced. The flowers are a rich, deep vel-* 
vety red, extra large and highly perfumed. The plant is a strong, thrifty grower and produces its blossoms in the greatest 
abundance. Both this variety and Princess May are perfectly hardy. Strong, thrifty plants. 35c each, two year old plants, 50e. 
Choice Hardy Climbing Roses. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. — (See cut.) This is certainly the most wonderful climbing rose ever introduced and each year's experi- 
ence with it only strengthens our confidence in it. It is absolutely hardy in all localities, a most vigorous grower, a most 
prolific bloomer, fine for growing on trellises, unexcelled for covering porches, walls, etc., admirable for pot culture for Easter 
forcing, at all times when in bloom, producing a gorgeous mass of crimson blossoms which remain on the plant a long time. 
The plant often grows from 12 to 15 feet in a single season, commences to blossom in June, continuing throughout the season. 
The flowers are deep crimson, borne in immense clusters which remain on the plant a long time. Strong young plants, 10c 
each; strong 2-year-old plants 35c eaeh, postpaid, or $3.00 per dozen by express. 
YELLOW RAMBLER. — (See cut.) This is a fit companion for so beautiful and valuable a rose as the Crimson Rambler. It is 
perfectly hardy, more vigorous in growth, if possible, than the Crimson, a profuse bloomer and succeeds well in any and all 
localities. The flowers are pure yellow, double, of good size, fragrant and borne in immense clusters like the Crimson, and last 
a long time without fading. Strong young plants 10c each; strong 2-year-old plants 35e each, or $3.00 per dozen by express. 
WHITE RAMBLER. — (See cut.) The plant is strong and vigorous, perfectly hardy, a most prolific bloomer. The blossoms 
are very double, pure white, borne in clusters and remain on the plant a long time. It closely resembles Crimson Rambler in 
every particular save color. Strong young plants 10c each; st rong 2-year-old plants 35c each; $3.00 per dozen by express. 
THE THREE RAMBLERS above described form a worthy tn 0 fit to adorn the palace of a king or to beautify "the humble 
cottage of the poor. Nothing can surpass them in beauty, the three colors contrasting beautifully and forming a perfect bower 
of loveliness. We offer 1 plant of each of the three varieties f 0 r 30c postpaid, or 1 dozen, four of each, for $1.00; 3 strong 2- 
year-old plants, 1 of each, for $1.00, postpaid. 
BALTIMORE BELLE.— Pale blush, nearly white; very double. Blossoms in large clusters. 10c each; 2 year-old plants 35c. 
m ~ CAROLINE GOODRICH. — Or Running Gen. Jacquemi- 
not. A hardy Climbing Hybrid Tea, producing lovely 
large crimson blossoms, identical in shape, size and 
color with the old favorite Gen. Jack. 10c each. 
In comparing our prices with others, please bear in 
mind that our roses are all strong, well rooted, young 
plants grown by the cold system. Many so-called rose 
growers, who advertise cheap plants, send out small, 
weak-rooted cuttings, that are dear at any price. 
CARMINE PILLAR A magnificent porch or pillar 
rose, with large single flowers 4 to 5 inches in diame- 
ter, of a bright, rosy carmine color. These are pro- 
duced in great profusion and are most beautiful. This 
rose is hardy in most sections of our country and 
should be as universally grown as a Crimson Rambler. 
20c each, 2-year old plants 35c each. 
EMPRESS OF CHINA. — It is very hardy, very free 
flowering, and the nearest approach to a perpetual 
blooming climber yet introduced. The blossoms are of 
good size, perfectly double, of a soft red color changing 
to light pink. 10c each; 2-year-old plants 40c. 
PINK ROAMER — The single flowers, which are pro- 
duced in close heads, are nearly two inches in diameter, 
bright, rich pink, with almost a white center, which 
lightens up the orange-red stamens, making it one of 
the most valuable roses in cultivation. 15c each. 
PINK RAMBLER — (Euphrosyne.) What is said of 
White Rambler applies equally to this, except the color 
of the flowers is pure shiny rose. In hardiness, freedom 
of bloom, form and color of flower, and vigorous climb- 
ing habit, this variety is fully the equal of Crimson 
Rambler. 10c each; 2-year-old plants 35c each. 
QUEEN OF PRAIRIE. — Bright, rosy red, large, com- 
pact, globular flower, produced in clusters. 10c each; 
2-year-old plants 35c each.

ters; crimson, changing all shades to white. 10c each; 
2-year-old plants 35c each. 
TENNESSEE BELLE. — A robust, vigorous climber and 
free bloomer. Color bright rose. 10c each.

blossoms are large, creamy white and produced in 
great profusion for several weeks. As a porch or ver- 
anda plant it is unexcelled. 10c each; 2-year-old plant* 
40c each.
