EVERBL00M1NG TEA ROSES 
For many years we have made the growing of Roses a specialty, studying their habits 
and characteristics, testing all the new varieties as they appeared from year to year, and 
importing the latest novelties from the European growers. Many sorts, after thorough 
trial, have been discarded as worthless; others have been retained and improved upon; 
still others have worn out and deteriorated until they were practically useless. By 
this constant "weeding out process" we have kept our list up-to-date and are enabled 
to supply our customers the very best that money, time and experience can produce. 
Our frnujifitr M Afh nrl e Differ radically from those of many of the so- 
UUr UTOWing meinoas called rose growers. We never force our young 
plants. They are grown in a cool situation, thoroughly well rooted in sand, then potted 
up and kept growing slowly. This gives them an abundance of fibrous roots and a 
strong healthy constitution. Plants grown in this manner will ship a long distance 
in perfect condition and commence growing vigorously the moment they are transplanted.

"who grow them. Unless otherwise noted, 10c each; $1.00 per doz. ; postpaid; by ex -]yjada.ni Cusin
