SIEBRECHT & SON, NEW YORK. 
Hardy Rhododendrons. 
These, aside from Ooniferse, are the most important Evergreens in cultivation. The foliage is handsome all 
the year, but the superb flower cones are the chief charm of the family. We keep a fi e assortment of the best 
varieties of the hybrids of R. Catawiuense and R. maximum, all of which constitute our best sorts, thoroughly 
hardy for outdoor planting. Rhododendrons grow well in any good loamy soil moderately enriched with vegetable 
mold. A mulch over their roots in summer and a slight protection in winter greatly benefit them. Cut ofiE all 
dead flowers and seed pods.

Roses. 
IN praise of the Rose nothing new or important remains to be said. No flower will ever supersede it in popular 
estimation— 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 aflirm that one flower is as fair as the other, each having a distinctive 
beauty all its own. At Rose Hill Nurseries the "Queen of Flowers" receives attention equally with Palms, 
Orchids and Ferns. We grow immense quantities for cut blooms, »nd test carefully all the 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 
Roses withou which no place, however small, is complete.
