J. W. ADAMS & CO., SPRINGFIELD, MASS. i:i 
ROSES. 
For Ihe last lialf dozen years we have not been al>le to fully sup- 
ply the tlcniand for this (jnt'en of flowers. This year we hope to meet 
all retiuirenienls in the most satisfactory \\a\'. havinj^ j;'ro\vn a stock 
both s^reali-r in qnantity anil superior in quality to any we have before 
offered. In fact, we believe that Roses as well rooted and in every 
respect as iieallhy and \iu;orous, both on their own roots and k)U'- 
budded, cannot elsewhere be found. Much credit is due to the 
Amateur Horticultural Society of Springfield for information brought 
out at their discussions of the merits of different varieties, and 
methods of cidti\ation. Formerly the leaves were all eaten Ijy an 
insiguiticant insect, which is easily destroyed, and Roses are nt)w 
found in the gardens of the members, in which the foliage is of the 
richest green, without .a single blemish, and the Mowers, in bud and 
bloom, are lit to grace the table of any friend one might desire to 
honor. 
We grow large quantities of the following varieties selected from 
our long trial list. Tliey represent all colors and the best bloomers. 
Crimson Rambler. An extremely rapid grower and free 
bloomer ; undoubtedly the best of all climbing Roses. The trusses 
of bright crimson flowers fre- 
quently measure more than a foot 
in length, with hand.sotiie, shining 
foliage and a marvelous abund- 
ance of the brightest crimson, 
semi-double Roses. Everybody 
should plant this new hardy Japan- 
ese Rose. It does well in house 
culture.
