NOTE. — It is useless to speak of our stock of fine roses to those who visited us from surrounding towns last 
season. Many came from miles to see these beds, and to admire their beauty, and if all our customers could 
have visited our nurseries at that time we would not need to speak of fine roses, to be had at small cost. The 
beauty of the plantation throughout the summer was marvelous, and wagon loads of roses were cut and given 
away to admiring crowds.
