looses.- -One of Our Specialties. 
In praise of the Rose nothing new or important remains to be said. No flower will ever supersede it in popular estima 
tion — not even the Orchid, so often counted as its rival. Our position as the largest commercial Orchid growers in America is 
well known, yet we affirm that one flower is as fair 
as the other, each having a distinctive Iteauly all 
its own. At Rose Hill the "Queen of Flowers" 
receives attention e(iually with Palms, Orchids and 
Ferns. We gpow immense quantities of 
Roses for eut blooms, and test carefully all tlie 
sorts offered, retaining only those that pass the 
crucial trial of the New York rose-buying public, 
which quickly rejects anything not up to a high 
standard in color, form and fragrance. We also 
have carefully grown plants of the many superb 
hardy Koses without which no place, however 
small, is complete. 
New Rose, BELLE SIEBRECHT. 
This variety will, we believe, prove to l>e one of tlie 
most satisfactory Roses we have ever ofit'crcd. It is jis 
free-blooming as a Tea Rose and hai'dy as a Perpetual, 
a union o£ the two most desirable qualities in Roses. 
It is eqiudly valuable for winter forcing as for summer 
blooming. The color is a uni(|U(' sbailc of pink, clear 
and constant — just the shade long desired. Price, first 
size, .lO cts. each, $4..'jO per do/..; second size, 40 cts. 
each, $4 perdoz.; third size, \f> cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

STANDARD or TREE ROSES. 
These Roses, as a rul(\ do not succeed so well in America as in Europe, where no well-appointed garden is complete without a collection 
of them. Hut years of experience have shown us thiit if treated in the nnumer prescribed below they will thrive well, forming handsome 
trees and giving little trouble. (1 ) They should be bndde<l or grafted upon Rritn- slock, not ujion N. niniiui or Dog Rose. (2) The Brier 
stocks, when planted, should have good, lil)rc)us roots, with no suckers starting from them, and if these should appear at any time they must 
be i>romptly removed, (^t) Plant the Rose Trees in good, loamy soil, stake them well, and wrap the entire stem about an inch thick with rye- 
straw, tying on the wrapping with willows. (4) During very dry, liot weat;her, syringe the Roses often, preferably every evening after sun- 
down. This will keep the stems moist, wbicli is very essential, (o) After the first few light frosts the stems should be bent over into as 
nearly a horizontal position at? may be, and cn\-ered with pine boughs, straw mats, or an>-11iing that will shade llu'm from the sun. Dwarf 
Roses cad be planted between and beneath the SlaTidarils, giving splendid effects. We keep in stock a choice selection of the best varieties 
only, all of which are 2 and ;i years old, froiu bud or graft. Trees of best quality, $3 each, $30 per doz.
