vHARDIEST ROSEr 
Mr U.«S.GRANT:' 
Clio. 
U. S. Grant (See cut.) Almost as hardy as an oak. Will thrive in any section of the 
United States. Blossoms freely the entire summer. This is the famous rose we introduced 
as "Unknown Beauty" and which we allowed our patrons to name by votes, thousands 
and thousands of votes were sent in from all parts of America, and among them Gen. 
Grant proved to be the Cavorite. It is truly an ever-blooming hardy rose and can be 
full and 
cutting. It is one of the very few varieties which will succeed m all parts of the United 
States doing equally as well in the East as it will in the far "West, while its hardiness and healthy habit enable it to with- 
stand both the severe winters of our northern states and the burning sun of the far South. Remember, we do not recom- 
mend this rose for house culture at all, but for the open garden we have never seen one that could surpass xt m hardiness, 
habit of growth or beauty of coloring. , ,t - , 
You cannot procure U. S. Grant except from ns, as we control the entire stock. 25c each; 2-year-old plants t>Oc each.

pruning one this year in the usual way, and the other plant 
the next year, annual crops of flowers may be had.
