ROSES AT ROSE HILL. 
Our Rose Department. — We would eal.l special «ttentiou to this brauf-h of 6ur<busine.ss, as we have lor years advoiated 
tile importance of planting Koses on theii' pwh roots only, and we are convinced morg strongly than ever, from experience and 
iilmost daily, observation, that to plant budded or grafted Koses in a Rose garden or in beds oiijrof-doors is a great mistake. 
Ninety-nine out of every hundred Rose bushes, thus budded or grafted upon the wild rose, will throw out from the roots or 
from tlie neck o£ the main .stem their strong, wild suckers, which invwiabjy kill the tame or good pgn't of the Rose. Many 
people, even gardeners themselves, not recognizing the presence of the strong and hi.\uriant growth oi: the wild stock, allow 
it to grow until it becomes stronger than the grafted or budded Rose, and then they wonder why their Ros'es do" not bloom. 
Tlie only remedy for the trouble i§ to purchase strong, healthy Ro'seg froui good, reputable"dealejs, who make ^ practice of 
growing them upon their own I'oots, as we invariably do. The eliejip buddefi- or grafted Roses seldom last more than from one 
to three seasons, when they must be reneweil : while on the other hand, the Roses ou their own roots will last for fifty years, 
improving and getting better all the time. " .. ■ 
We pay a great deal of attention to the growing of Roses of all the best an<l hardiest varieties, and in all cases practice 
wluit we preach. None of the trouble mentioned above will be had by pnrrliiisers of our stock, and witli all we send out' we 
guarantee satisfaction. 
Treatment of Plants when Received. 
A FEW IMPORTANT POINTS UPON THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF PLANTS WHEN FIRST RECEIVED. 
The very tir.st lliiug fhii' should be done wheti receiving plaints, roots or liullis, by freight or express, is to exaniiiie tlusu 
thoroughly, and ascertain whether they have been injured by careless liamlling or through e.tposure wliile in the caie ami 
keeping of the transportation companies. If it is found that the jjlants, trees or bulbs have been damaged during their 
transit, notify the company which curried them at once, and', if possible, have one ot. their representatives call and see them 
before you do anytliing to them, calling his attention to the injuiy of your goods, and the consequent loss to you. If you can 
determine the amount of injury, nuike a claim upon the company at once ; but if your loss is not then and there determin- 
able, notify the company that, you will only keep the ])lants upon the condition that they will make good any loss or damage 
you may sustain after you have done all you can to restore the plants, etc. iShould you have any reason to suppo.se that 
the goods were not projierly jiacked by the shipper, and that in consequence of such jioor packing they were injured, then, in 
that case, you should notify us immediately, reporting the condition in which the articles were received, and estinuite your 
loss on thetn at the same time. If such loss is occasioned through any fault of ours; or that of our packers or shippers, we 
will promptly make good the damage, either by replacing such plants as are injured or by deducting them from the invoice. 
Should the transportation company refuse to make reparation for injuries to goods received from us through their neglect, 
advise us. at once, and we will see to it that they be compelled to do so. 
If the plants are received in good condition, see if the balls ot earfli or roots are di'y ; if so, give them a thorough 
watering, or if very dry, dip them into a bucket or tank of water, thoroughly soaking the roots and the earth about them. 
If the plants have been on a long journey, and have not been in the light for some time, it is best to set them in a 
somewhat shaded place, and get them gradually used to the light. Should the plants Iiave suffered from cold, or have been 
chilled, then a moderately cool or temperate place, well shaded, will be the best place to set them, and a thorough wetting of 
all the parts with very cold water, allowing as little air as possible to reach them, is the propei' thing to do. If not too 
severely frozen, plants can be thus resuscitated and often saved entirely.
